She is very passionate about community music-making, and the overall benefits for all ages, especially through group singing and learning. What we are able to learn about ourselves on a deep, personal level through music translates into all aspects of our life, and enriches our interactions, understanding of each other, and compassion for the world around us!

We have classes for all ages and all skill levels starting regularly. Your place is waiting.
