My Music, My Life

My main passion is Music. At 13 years of age, I was selected on scholarship to study in Banff, Alberta, at
the Banff School of Fine Arts Gifted Youth Program under the guidance of world-class Concert Pianists.
This program selected candidates on a competitive
International- Level basis. I received my Piano Performance A.R.C.T music diploma from the Royal
Conservatory of Music in Toronto in 1992. I was guest soloist for the York Symphony Orchestra, performing
Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2. I have always enjoyed competing rigorously
in many piano competitions and freelancing as music
and dance accompanist. Currently I teach piano and music theory on a part-time basis.

The Big Day: Rehearsing right before the actual performance of Rachmaninoff's Piano Concerto #2. I am concentrating on control in the midst of sheer adrenalin!!

Another shot at the stage, only minutes before the orchestral members will appear to do their respective warmups.

Graduation! A.R.C.T in Piano Performance at the Winter Green Theatre, Toronto, 1992.

I am carrying the trophy for the Colin Rose Memorial Scholarship, awarded to the winner of the Colin Rose Competition, contestants must be 12 years of age.
