2022 marks my 30th year teaching music!  I have taught violin, viola, cello, piano, and guitar to students all over the world, in my studio, and through the webcam.  I specialize in working with students with special needs– including, but not limited to, ADHD and non-speaking Autism.  I love music and believe every human should have access to learning an instrument.  My approach speaks to all kinds of learners, from serious to recreational.  I am happy to assist advanced students in preparing for college auditions or to simply increase their musical knowledge.

I am also a composer, a filmmaker, and a photographer.  Over the years, I have enjoyed creating short films that show the power in being different.  These film projects have given me the opportunity to combine all of my artistic passions. I am honoured to have been the film score composer for the movie LISTEN, which recently won the Zukor Award at the 2021 Astor Film Festival.

My early experiences began with dancing on stage, and that has taken me on an exciting journey through stage performance, improv, film acting, and even live band performances for thousands of people.  I have played with symphony orchestras, both semi-pro and community, seated as concertmaster, principal chair, and as the conductor.

Feel free to reach out to me with questions, class requests, or comments.  I am excited to meet new students!  Private Sessions are available upon request.

PLEASE NOTE: All classes have a minimum of 3 learners per class. I have made exceptions for classes with 2 students, however I cannot give classes with only one enrolled. If that happens, you will be contacted with options. Thanks in advance for your understanding.
