 When
I finished highschool [Valedictorian of my graduating class], I had to decide
what I wanted to do with my life. I moved to Saskatoon and tried to enter the
University of Saskatchewan's music program. I first auditioned as a piano major.
Alas, they had filled their quota of piano students. So then I tried to get in
as a flute major. However, as I had been taught to play flute by a trumpet
player I had learned to use all the wrong fingerings. No luck in the flute
department either... |

I
had pretty much decided to go into something like psychology or computer
sciences when Robert Solem, the director of the Greystone Singers, asked me if I
had ever considered singing. I said that I had enjoyed singing all my life, but
that I had never formally studied voice. He suggested I audition in voice, and
after I had sung a while, he said I could get in by becoming a voice major. Well
of course I leapt on that offer... |  |
