Born in Tasmania, Eileen Joyce develops a love of music early on. Encouraged by her parents, who struggled with poverty, she begins music lessons at the age of 10 in a convent, and later has a private teacher for piano, her chosen instrument. Despite continued financial challenges, Eileen's talents bring her to the attention of notable music experts, who intervene to raise funds for her to receive top instruction in Europe. By the 1930s, she has launched a successful professional career.
