Angela Morris
violin, saxophone, flute, clarinet
Angela Morris has been sharing her passion and enthusiasm with students in private lessons, group classes, and clinics for over seven years. A graduate of Humber College where she studied saxophone, flute, and clarinet, Angela has a Bachelor of Music in Jazz Studies. In 2008, she received a Ken Page Memorial Trust Scholarship to attend the Banff Centre International Workshop in Jazz and Creative Music, where she studied and performed with leading musicians and composers and other emerging artists from around the world.
Though a jazz specialist, Angela’s unique background makes her very versatile musician and teacher; before she enrolled at Humber, Angela was already teaching violin lessons as she had a decade of classical violin study and RCM accreditation under her belt.
