I received an Honours Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Toronto, studying with Charles Daellenbach.
I was a member of the National Youth Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company and have been principal tuba of the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony and Canadian Chamber Ensemble since 1975. I have taught at Inter-Provincial Music Camp and Banff Festival of Youth Orchestras
- Brass Adjudicator at the Ontario Music Festivals Association Provincial Finals.
- Revised the Royal Conservatory of Music tuba syllabus and the brass sight reading and ear test requirements.
The Canadian brass tubaist Charles Daellenbach was my university instructor. He made me feel like playing a brass instrument was the most wonderful and fulfilling thing a person could do in life. My goal as a tuba and euphonium teacher has always been to inspire my students the same way.
