André Rouse began his musical career at an early age playing the clarinet. His high school years were completed at Cardinal Carter Academy for The arts Majoring in music. Learning to play various musical instruments including clarinet, oboe, trumpet and timpani, André also focused his attention on the steel pan. These simultaneous learning experiences afforded him the knowledge in understanding how different instruments can be fused to work in coordination with each other. Mr. Rouse is a graduate of York University's Faculty of Fine Arts program with Hounours in music and will be continuing his education this fall when he begins the Masters program in composition and music education at York University. He was awarded 2nd place out of 14 composers for an original composition involving the fusion of the steel orchestra and symphony orchestra in the "Symphony and Steel's International Composer's Competition" sponsored by the University of the West Indies. In 2009 his first attempt in arranging for Toronto's annual Pan Alive competition secured a 2nd place win for New Dimension Steel Orchestra. He will be leading the same band at this years competition this coming Friday. André teaches composition at the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto; he is currently employed as a music teacher for the Toronto Catholic District School Board teaching grades 6, 7 & 8 and is also the musical director of Souls of Steel Orchestra, a not for profit organization dedicated to the education and performance of steel pan music.
"...As a black male raised in a single parent home I learned early the benefits of education..."
