Teaching Composition

Student’s enrolled in the Claude Watson Secondary Arts Program at Earl Haig Secondary School have the unique opportunity to focus their studies on visual or performing arts. Those students who successfully audition as music majors, are taught by Deborah Pady. Deborah joins us this week to discuss how she teaches and inspires her students to compose and the program’s exciting partnership with local Toronto ensembles. She even inspires Zara to compose an opera about cheese that results in an exclusive, one-woman performance for our listeners.Watch the full performance of Adrian Thornton-Mark’s Birth Certificate:  https://youtu.be/EpQv6tqXSbMHear more of Adrian’s compositions:  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtZDRzlzz8oTjQTCRzqjneg Learn more about the Claude Watson Arts Program:Website: http://www.claudewatson.ca/Facebook: Claude Watson Arts Program – Earl HaigInstagram: @ehclaudewatson
