I grew up in a musical family where my mother Helen Ruth MacLachlan taught my sister and my brother and then me the early classical ABC and Boris Berlin piano books. My father Sandy MacLachlan was an avid bagpiper.

My first formal piano teacher was Barb Good, a kind and wonderful neighbour down the street who encouraged many children to embrace the love of piano.

When I was a little older, my parents sent us to a prominent Kingston piano teacher Donna Gobin to learn the more advanced grades.

We studied under the Toronto Royal Conservatory of Music which included recitals, festivals and exams.

Over the past year I've been working on a new collection of piano pieces called Unforgotten - music about the people and memories that stay with us. I've always wondered about the mystery of memory, how the mind quietly decides which moments stay with us for life.

Some memories fade. Others remain. This music is about those that remain.
