Sharon’s “motto” for all things singing is “Singing for the Love of it!”

She holds a Degree of Music in Voice Performance and a second Degree in Education. Along with teaching high school Music, she enjoyed a singing career in Opera and Concert for many years.

She is the Artistic Director for the Blyth Festival Singers in Huron county, Ontario and the founding Artistic Director of the Women’s Chamber Ensemble, Kinnaris, in Stratford Ontario. Prior to that she was part of the Artistic staff of the St. Mary’s Children’s Choir and the Artistic Director for the New Tecumseth Singers in Simcoe County, Ontario.

As President of the New Tecumseth Arts Council, Sharon helped found the South Simcoe Festival of the Arts and served for eight years as an Executive member of the Ontario Chapter of the National Association of Teachers of Singing.

Her interest in conducting began when she founded the “Intermediate Vocal Ensemble” to broaden the performance opportunities for her vocal students during her time as a faculty member at the Manitoba Conservatory of Music and Art.

Sharon’s students have successfully entered Universities, Colleges and Theatre Schools across Canada to study Music, Arts Programs and Acting. She is delighted to find the varied and creative ways that they are living lives that include singing!
