Season Joined: 2010

Hometown: I’m a Kincardine girl originally but have been in London forever.

What is your music education or training?
Grade 8 piano, Grade 2 Theory but I have sung in choirs all my life. Church and school choirs, since I was a teenager. Then Earle Terry Singers when I first came to London.

Where else do you teach/gig/conduct/sing/perform?
I have been a handbell ringer for 30 years, both in full 5 octave choirs as well as trio and quartet ensembles. I am a charter member of Bellissima Ringers handbell quartet, performing concerts in Vancouver, Scranton Pennsylvania, Roy Thompson Hall in Toronto, and as well throughout Southwestern Ontario. Bayview Week of Handbells in beautiful Petoskey Michigan is my yearly pleasure.
