Colour Your Bassoon - BOOK

Colour Your Bassoon

by Nadina Mackie Jackson - Canadian bassoonist and author

40 original bassoonists to colour, plus two extra pages to draw your own.

Nadina Mackie Jackson joined the Montreal Symphony Orchestra at age twenty-two and began teaching at McGill University the same year, kicking off a long and successful career as a professional bassoonist and teacher. She is the most recorded solo bassoonist in Canadian history with many solo, chamber music and orchestral albums to her credit, including the Juno Award-shortlisted Canadian Concerto Project. She has taught at the University of Toronto, the Glenn Gould Professional School of the Royal Conservatory of Music, the State University of New York at Fredonia, and at many international masterclasses. She is the president and founder of the Council of Canadian Bassoonists. Many composers have written new works specifically for Nadina, and her students can be found performing and teaching throughout North America and beyond. 

When Nadina isn't travelling to present concerts or teach, she lives in the near north of Ontario, Canada, in a fine log house built by her late father B. Allan Mackie at the edge of the forest, with a grumpy calico named Diva.
