Julie has been teaching the clarinet and saxophone for over 23 years both in England and in Canada. Julie was formally trained at Napier University in Edinburgh, Scotland and Trinity College of Music in London, England. She was a member of the Thayer Octet and Amabile Wind Quintet. These ensembles were booked for engagements in London and were chosen to perform for HRH Elizabeth II, to whom Julie was introduced. She was bass clarinetist with the Forest Philharmonic Orchestra which regularly performed at such prestigious venues as the Royal Festival Hall and Barbican Centre in London. Julie was also a member of a renowned British saxophone quartet which was regularly featured on TV and on radio. As a soloist, she toured Germany with the Thames Wind Ensemble performing the Artie Shaw Clarinet Concerto. She emigrated to Canada in 1993 and has since established herself as a peripatetic instructor and clinician. Julie currently freelances, performing in pit orchestras and various chamber groups including the Erato Ensemble and Wind Song Trio.
