Life is better with music. Music learned, music shared, music created. |
I am a Canadian violinist, pianist, accordionist, teacher, and Music Therapy Practitioner based in Luxembourg.
Music is my passion. From the age of 7 music has been a significant and enriching part of my life, it has been, and remains my passion. My grandmother was a pianist and opera singer who played, with a smile on her face and a tap in her toe to the age of 101, another dear family friend is still playing Chopin at age of 92. That smile of satisfaction and the nostalgia that music invoked in these incredible people remain one of my biggest inspirations.
I have had the great pleasure of studying with, and knowing so many talented and gifted musicians, teachers, mentors, colleagues and musical friends, and for having had the opportunity to learn and share so much from them.

Music has brought me to my dearest of friends, and created family from a small town in Ontario, Canada across the world.
These people have imparted something very important to me - music is one of the most personable art forms, it is a place where we express ourselves often times in ways that words cannot express and where we pour our innermost thoughts, passions, and emotions. It crosses any linguistic or cultural boundary. The pursuit of excellence in musical performance is a life-long and fulfilling ambition, and one that creates many opportunities, friendships, adventures, and stories. I feel privileged to share what I have learned and experienced with my students and my audiences. |

Others who have inspired me include teachers of the finest institutions, some are refined musicians of the concert stage, some are career musicians that I studied with and shared countless glasses of wine and "alternative" translations of Italian opera. Some are the most decent and humble people I met living in Latin America that simply wanted to "share their song" and sing with immense and heart-felt pride.
Our connection is always our art and all the emotions that art invokes.
