I had a lovely time joining the Markham Concert Band for their December 4th Seasonal Celebration concert!

A big thank you to everyone who came out to hear the Markham Concert Band’s show at the Millennium Bandstand in Unionville on September 25th!

I was driving the other day, when I came to a stop sign with a cross walk in front of it.As I checked for traffic, I noticed two pigeons step off the sidewalk into the crosswalk and proceed to cross the street right in front of me.

Oh, how I love art! From photography to impressionism, to folk and sculpture and back again. There's not much that doesn't set my heart a fire.

Those who know me well can attest to the fact that I LOVE flowers. So much so, that when I'm walking down the street I often stop to take a closer look at flowers that catch my eye.

When it came to creating the social media visual campaign and music video for Autumn Leaves, I knew I wanted to make something that was a bit dark, moody and reflective of the many introspective and saturated colours and moods of Autumn.

While I love the energy, the vivid colours, the long sunny days, and the warm patio sitting nights of summer; there is something about the deep dead of winter that speaks to my soul too.

then they will do small kind deeds for other people,

and maybe we'll start a chain reaction."

When I first started learning how to record about a year ago I knew that I wanted to created music, but I also knew that I wanted to create a visual experience to accompany that music.

Dear Friends,

I know I've been away for a long time . . . almost a year.

I hope you all have been keeping well and safe though all the craziness the world has thrown at us these past 16 months.

Throwing way back today to the early aughts, high school and my first ever business and teaching studio.

After coming to the sad realization that I had absolutely no coordination for any sport involving a ball, my dad dismantled the basketball hoop in our driveway, and converted the spare room above the garage into a dance studio for me.

Hello everyone and welcome to another episode of Cavatina Conversations! Today's episode is all about, how to rosin your bow.

I've been away from blogging for a while, as last week we had to say goodbye to our littlest meow, Izzy.

I am excited to announce the launch of my tutorial series, Cavatina Conversations! This series explores useful tips and tricks for playing the violin, singing and music - all in under ten minutes.

Today's episode is about how-to tune your violin. (This episode actually went longer than ten minutes . . . I never realized I had so much to say about tuning!).

I've had this little arrangement of The Beatles, "Blackbird" floating around my head for a few days now, and I finally managed to get it out.

Let's talk books!

There's nothing I love more than getting lost in a good story.

With every media outlet giving us constant crisis updates, it's nice to turn it all off now and again and escape into a story.

I am so excited to be able to share my beautiful brand new bookmark, business card, and logo designed by the very talented Stephanie at @patadsg, with you!

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Thanksgiving has long been my favorite holiday. Growing up, it was always the holiday that involved the most delicious cooking that you waited all year for,

I was working with one of my students the other day on a challenging part in a piece of music she’d been having a hard time with.

When I was a little girl, once a year my mom would take me on a shopping adventure to buy a new fancy dress to wear for special occasions like, performances and pictures.
