I have been the director of Murrumbidgee Magic chorus (originally known as the Wagga Wagga Harmony Chorus) since its inception in 1992, and in that time have seen the personal and musical growth of a large number of women singers, not only in Wagga Wagga but also across the region. Such changes occur through weekly rehearsals, chorus retreats and coaching sessions, as well as regional workshops and national competitions.

The experience of being Education Coordinator for 4 years opened up a wide range of opportunities, including access to some wonderful educational events, as well as the chance to visit many Australian choruses. 

Apart from directing Murrumbidgee Magic, I have sung in numerous quartets over the years – in numerous voice parts! However in 2009 I found my niche as a Tenor with the quartet Andiamo which placed 3rd at regional competition and 4th in 2010. I am also a dual member of Bathurst Panorama Chorus which placed 2nd in the 2010 regional competition.

I love sharing my passion for barbershop with others, and continue to be inspired by the education that the organisation offers, and the wonderful sounds of this special 4 part harmony.
