Most people know I'm from Canada, and although the Most people know I'm from Canada, and although there are several terrific things about the land of the north, it can sometimes feel like you're on an island if you're trying to pursue music professionally or as a hobby. Growing up, it was sometimes difficult knowing how to progress on my instrument without spending a lot of money on lessons and travel. Thanks to grants from the @mbartscouncil and the @canada.council, I've created a new video series called "Tuba Tutorials", which are mini-lessons up to 30 minutes in length covering some of the most popular pieces of tuba solo literature. The first four episodes (covering the Hindemith Sonata, Penderecki Capriccio, Plau Concerto and Casterede Sonatine) are now available on my website (link in bio)! If you're a student looking for a way to start learning these pieces or a teacher looking for some fresh ideas, check these out!

Fast forward to now, and I'm so grateful that all these institutions and groups (and their gracious faculty/staff!) have given me a platform to speak about something I'm so passionate about, but that isn't addressed nearly enough.
