I began my music teaching career at Fortune Consolidated School in rural Prince Edward Island and now teach K-6 music at Montague Consolidated School in Prince Edward Island. There I lead a grades 4-6 choir, 2 rock bands, a guitar club, and act as musical director for various productions at the school. My passion for integrating rock bands into the elementary school setting led to the founding of the annual "Rock-a-palooza: PEI Schools of Rock Showcase" event in Prince Edward Island. As well, I have published articles in the Canadian Music Educator Journal on the topics of creativity as well as teaching rock bands in schools. Currently, I am working on my first book, called "Rock Coach: A Practical Guide for Teaching Rock Bands in School," set to be released this year!
