TEACHING I have been engaged in music education in various capacities for over 15 years, beginning with teaching jazz ensembles at the Acadia University Summer Music Institute, and most recently as a sessional lecturer at Ryerson University and Humber College. I have taught private lessons on bass and guitar, coached ensembles in jazz and popular music, and taught university courses in music history, ethnomusicology, and performance.
