Biography / Academic Background
Before coming to Laurier, I taught theory and aural skills at McMaster University, the State University of New York (SUNY) at Buffalo, Penn State University and the Crane School of Music (SUNY Potsdam). My courses dealt with diatonic and chromatic harmony, freshman and sophomore aural skills, form and analysis, modal and tonal counterpoint, Schenkerian analysis, 20th century theory, and the history of music theory.
As an accomplished pianist with extensive experience as a dance accompanist, I have worked with the touring companies of the National and Royal Winnipeg Ballets, the Scapino Ballet (Rotterdam), the Hubbard Street Ballet (Chicago), the Toronto based Ontario Ballet Theatre as well as a variety of professional and amateur schools.
