Cindy Goldberg is a long-time musician; her first instrument was the piano, followed by the clarinet and saxophone. She has played with numerous jazz and concert band ensembles, including the Halifax Concert Band, Swing Shift, and the Byward Winds.

Several years ago, Cindy fell in love with drumming.  She studied with local and renowned drummers, including Mike “Machine” Mallais, Roy Nichol and Jason Gianni.  In 2019, she ventured to New York to study at the famous Drummer’s Collective.  That was a dream come true!
