OWL The other passion in Trudee’s life is music. Through formal training, she attained her Royal Conservatory grade 8 piano and grade 6 French horn, and was a member of her high school’s concert band for four years. Throughout her life, she has sung in choirs and choral groups under conductors Brainerd Blyden-Taylor, Alan Coffin, Sarah John and others. Since 1999 she has been a member of Motherload, an amateur vocal quartet based in her home of Barrie, Ontario. Through her experience in that group, she has learned much about vocal arrangement and has arranged, for her own personal use, several pieces for four women’s voices, as well as a few for recorder and piano. She has a rather obsessive interest in lesser known musical instruments and has performed at least once on the musical saw, theremin, Boomwhackers®, and the Hawaiian nose flute. (It’s a long story…) Trudee’s theatre background extends back
to high school days where she participated in Sears Drama Festival productions
for five years. She
holds an honours BA from the University of Toronto, with a double specialist
in English literature and drama. While at university, she
was the recipient of the W. J. McAndrew Award for outstanding contribution
to drama at University College. Recently, she has performed in community
theatre productions of Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella and
Fran Charnas’s musical revue All Night Strut. |
