Clarinetist, conductor, composer, arranger, and piano player holds a Doctorate of Musical Arts in performance from the P. Tchaikovsky Conservatory of Music. From 2014 through 2022, I have been teaching music majors in the Earl Haig Claude Watson Arts Program. I was also involved with church worship ministries for 10 years, including being the music director of “Willowdale Life” and “The Scott Mission”. I am the first-prize winner of a National Competition in clarinet and second-prize winner in conducting. I like to make efficient use of lesson time, and one of the ways I do this is by using the app “SONATICO,” designed as an alternative to Zoom and other video-conferencing software to suit the needs of music lessons better.
