I LOVE helping people to discover their innate musicianship!

I had a very blessed upbringing with amazing musical opportunities and encouragement. I danced, sang, and tootled my way into serious study in Wellington, Sydney and London. I won 2 TUI awards for my children’s albums and was fortunate enough to call the Sydney Opera House my office for a while.

I’m loving living in the Manawatu...and here’s what I do now.

I adore helping people find their voices. I run Women In Song Together and Shed 23 Chorus, workshops, and you can also come to me for vocal coaching.

I’m very drawn to African drumming.

I run sessions for adults in Palmerston North, catering for beginners and those who’ve had a go already!

I am really good with enabling groups of people to drum. I can have a bunch of strangers sounding like rock stars in no time at all. So I’m happy to come to your workplace, school, or conference to get everyone grooving too.

I lead three spectacular performing groups which are available for performances & appearances: Manawataki, Nuvivi and Shed 23 Chorus

I also am a dab hand at ukulele.

I can teach YOU how to play from scratch and reinvigorate your playing.

I hang out and work from a cool spot in central Palmerston North: Shed 23- the arts playground of the city. Look forward to seeing you there soon. :)
