Natasha Chapman was born in Toronto in 1974. She began flute studies with Peg Albrecht at the Royal Conservatory of Music when she was 14 years old.

After being accepted to the performance program at McGill University in 1993, Natasha studied under renowned teacher Timothy Hutchins (principal flute Montreal Symphony) graduating with "high distinction in flute performance". Her graduate studies (Artist Diploma) led her to the United States where she attended Duquesne University on a full scholarship, studying with Robert Langevin (principal flute New York Philharmonic) and Rhian Kenny (piccolo, Pittsburgh Symphony). She also completed a residency with much sought after teacher and performer, Jeanne Baxtresser, at Carnegie Mellon University. Opportunities to play in competitive master classes included performances for William Bennett, Michael Hasel, and Peter Lloyd.

Her career has taken her to perform in concerts across the world, including Japan and Korea. She has played flute with the National Arts Centre Orchestra, the Quebec Symphony Orchestra and the National Academy Orchestra, and has participated in summer festivals with other orchestras including the Symphonie Laval and the Orford Arts Centre Orchestra.

An avid chamber musician, she enjoys performing in The Ottawa International Chamber Music Festival. She is also a founding member of the flute quartet, Opus four.
