Hi! Playing the flute has been my lifelong joy. I have had the pleasure of playing with wonderful musicians, in all kinds of genres, including classical and light pop and jazz groups. My RCM training (ARCT in Flute Performance) and subsequent university studies (B.Mus. and B. Education from University of Toronto) have provided a solid foundation for teaching methods and passing on valuable skills and knowledge to my students, and most of all, the joy of playing music. I continue to learn so much about music through enrichment courses and classes. My students inspire me with their enthusiasm and dedication.
