I am the retired Principal Harpist of the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra (1982-2018). I am an Adjunct Professor of Harp at UBC School of Music. I have been teaching ever since I graduated from University of Toronto with my Bachelor's degree in Performance, and after spending a school year in Cleveland studying with Alice Chalifoux. I compose music for harp, some of which is in the RCM Syllabus.
