Vancouver based trumpeter and teacher. I read, collect Lego, and spend the rest of my time in nature.
My distinguished gentlethem.

Senni (13) is learning how to be outside of his cage and he loves it!!!

Seeing the dozen+ African Greys waiting for forever homes hurt. So many lovely little creatures who all deserve so much better. Happy to give this Senegal a fresh start!

Parrots average 5-10 homes in their first 7 years of life.

Quila is 5 years old and we are home number 6.

I’m doing my very best to be a good flock mate while she learns how to be a confident bird.

my pov whenever the rainbow chicken decides it’s time to investigate the humans face.

Bird loves to bird watch. We are getting along well. I love watching her fly around! I can’t wait for her to regain full flight and zip around the house.

Quila had a rough start at a puppy mill and spent the last two years being bounced between fosters and failed adoptions. We were warned about many behavioural issues. We haven’t seen any. She’s been the easiest bird I have ever spent time with. Pure curiosity and cuddles.

Welcome home

This was within 3 hours of arriving home, our newest member has fallen asleep on my arm.

I’d say we are pretty smitten.

We have variety this week! Performing two shows: An Alpine Symphony (!!!!!) and some of Handel’s coronation anthems. I have been waiting for my first Alpine and I’m so happy the day has come. 🎺🗻👑

I’m choosing to be happy today. Our wedding day is a pretty good memory to focus on.

My favourite part was pretending we knew how to row a boat…

Marriage really is lovely when you get to marry your favourite human.

Listening to Jeremy Dutcher and somehow this is the first time I actually looked at the album art. Noticing it during the wax recorded section at the end of Mehcinut was especially poignant.

This set is satisfying as heck! The inner mechanics brought much joy!

Now my favourite part; time to disassemble and sort!

Our house is so boring while you’re at work.

Hamburger trumpet day!! Playing some Brahms on my Monke Rotary C. The Germans sure know how to bang metal into shapes that make pretty sounds.

On the stand: academic festival overture.

I spontaneously ordered some new sets and dubbed them ‘grief gifts’. I washed away any of the previous owners dirt and can’t wait to add to the collection.

It was weird leaving everything out last night. Morgan used to snack on found legos.

Pumped for potential baby heron spotting at the bird sanctuary tomorrow :)

I was parked at the corner or Robson and Cambie. That’s one heck of a good bird. 🐦 goose continued on their way and walked down the sidewalk like a good goose.

Morgan was so loved! We have received cards, gifts, and now even flowers from her Tsawwassen team.

She was the very best dog, even at the vets.

Morgan passed peacefully at home with the help from a lovely human from Mulberry Lane.

I dedicated this piece to Morgan at my most recent recital. Gershwin wrote this piece for Judy Holliday’s dog, Lifey.

🐾 thinking about all the visits to the beach and many cross country adventures. 💜💜💜

Trial week. Hopefully I get hired.

Opera in the dark with a good book. Great way to spend the evening.

Noodle is a wee bit bigger than she thinks she is these days. She is a very good long #worm

Studied at #UBC for 10 years. This is the first time I have played in the old auditorium pit. It’s a little crowded and a lot over stimulating with all the noise down here. #opera #manon #orchestra #pitlife

March has been a wild ride! Very happy to have had the many wonderful adventures but so happy to put my passport away and sleep in my own bed for a while.
