Media and press!

I gave the school system 23 years. Then I walked away - and unknowingly walked into something even bigger.

Surrounded by participants of all ages, I emphasizes inclusion, creativity, and joy while fostering a sense of community through shared rhythm and song.

I lead a lively drumming workshop at the Station Arts Centre, guiding children as they transform buckets and sticks into musical instruments. With energy and enthusiasm, I encourage rhythm, teamwork, and listening skills, showing how music can be both accessible and engaging for young learners.

I led emPower Beats bucket drumming sessions at Fierce and Fit Boxing Club in Kitchener, guiding participants through rhythm, teamwork, and creative percussion in a fun, energetic, and inclusive environment.

An emotional last day of singing with my students.  What an incredible career I had.  This video embodies what music is to me -- a shared experience.
