I started teaching piano lessons in February 1990, and have taught piano, theory, and trumpet. I have completed RCM grade 10 piano. I was accepted into the BFA program at York University in 2005, where I studied composition, piano, and trumpet. I have held principle trumpet positions with numerous orchestras and have extensive experience playing in musicals, and various ensembles. I have held organist positions sporadically for various churches since the 1980s.
