"Why do we teach music? Not because we expect you to major in music. Not because we expect you to play and sing all your life. Not so you can relax. But so that you will be human. So you will recognize beauty. So you will be sensitive. So you will have something to cling to. So you will have more love, compassion, more gentleness, more good, in short, more life." - Anonymous

I teach General, Instrumental and Choral Music during the regular school day as well as Concert Band and Concert Choir afterschool. I am originally from Toronto and came to Yellowknife with my husband and three daughters via Nova Scotia and Germany. I love to sing and perform Opera whenever I get the chance and take my dog Hunter out on walking adventures. This is my 15th year in the North and I look forward to many more!
