Healing Through Music Wellness

This is a unique gift, to bring music into retirement homes, long term care facilities, children's hospitals, homes for the aged, play flute, violin, piano, trio's, walk down the halls and play tunes for those bed-ridden....jazz heals, who's willing?

Tell us a little about your background...
In my early 20's, I studied classical piano, voice and cello at Cambrian College in Sudbury, Ontario and later jazz piano, voice and arranging at Humber College in Toronto. Humber was a top-rated jazz school at the time and I got a lot of good training there, but always had the feeling my voice could do so much more.

Then I met vocal coach Carol Baggott-Forte who became my voice teacher and mentor over the next 5 years. At the time, Carol was also attending master classes in New York with world-reknowned voice teacher, Cornelius Reid, who had rediscovered the Bel Canto (beautiful voice) technique of The Golden Age of Italian Opera. As well as studying with Carol, I also made frequent trips to New York to study and as a result, my voice came back to it's natural vibrancy allowing me to sing 3 octaves freely and effortlessly in all styles

During this time, I received a scholarship to study Musical Theatre at the Banff Centre for the Arts, an extensive program that included courses in Alexander movement and Kristin Linklater speech and elocution classes.

Upon return to Toronto, I was accepted into an improvisational workshop series developed and conducted by Toronto Workshop Productions Artistic Director, George Luscombe, whose main emphasis was on movement (Laban technique) and improvisation (Stanislavsky school), consequently opening up a whole new level of artistic expression.

This led to a full-time career in stage, film and TV across Canada over the next few years and then into an extensive European tour performing as a singer and pianist. From that point on, I never looked back and continued worldwide as a vocal coach, narrator, singer and pianist performing as a soloist and in formations from duo to big band....a 30-year plus career in the pop/jazz idioms with a repertoire of over 600 songs.

As well as solo performances, I am now teaching voice, movement and repertoire development privately in person and online.

I feel honoured and am very grateful to have been given this knowledge, to have been able to put it to good use, and most of all..very grateful to be able to pass it along to others...sharing the joy of fluid movement and of singing freely and effortlessly in all styles. A heartfelt thank you to all my teachers and to you, Jaijai, for this wonderful site.
