drum workshops, conducts high-energy corporate training drum
sessions, and provides musical accompaniment for the Grey-Bruce

Zoë's musical training began with the Royal Conservatory
of Music piano program, then Zoë went on to study various
styles of hand drumming including African, Middle Eastern
and Latin American grooves. In 2004, Zoë added therapeutic
drumming to her repertoire, and has received the HealthRHYTHMS®

allowed Zoë to expand her facilitation skills and move
into working with special needs populations and focus groups
of all kinds.
Teaching is a strong suit for Zoë, who has over 30 years'
teaching experience. Through a specialized degree program
in Adult Education from Brock University (Bachelor of Education
