Chantal began her musical journey when she was just four years old under her mother’s expert tutelage.  Her mother, who owned and operated a piano studio, remained a constant inspiration in Chantal’s life as she explored her passion for music and ultimately, the harp.

In 1992 Chantal attended the Royal Conservatory Summer School of Music at Ridley College, which was sponsored by the Niagara Symphony. Here she began her enduring relationship with the harp and she continued to take lessons with the Niagara Symphony’s Principal Harpist, Doris Scharing.

As Chantal advanced her harp-playing techniques, she initiated studies with the Principal Harpist from the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra, Suzanne Thomas. At this point Chantal’s parents bought her a 46-string, Semi-grand Pedal Harp.   In 2005 Chantal sold her Semi-grand to purchase a beautiful new 40-string Petite Pedal Harp which is much easier to transport.

Since 1996 Chantal has been sharing her musical prowess with others through performances at special occasions such as weddings, banquets, and business parties. Her repertoire consists of many genres of music to please the varied tastes of her audiences.

In 1999 Chantal and vocalist Joelle Yade recorded a Christian album entitled Yadah. In 2006 she recorded another album with violinist Cheryl Hodgson titled Unto His Name, a collection of spiritual songs. After many requests for a solo album in 2008 Chantal recorded her third CD titled Still Moments, a collection of hymns that have helped her through her spiritual journies.

With music credentials in several areas, Chantal is currently teaching harp, piano, and keyboard at her home in Mississauga.
