Bio:

Scott Whittington is a graduate of the Faculty of Music at the University of Toronto, where he pursued studies in arranging, orchestration, conducting, and music pedagogy. Scott has been actively engaged in adult and youth music education for over 30 years, teaching both instrumental and vocal music. A frequently commissioned composer, he has written over 80 compositions including works for symphony orchestra, string orchestra, choir, jazz orchestra, popular songs, and the stage. His work has a contemporary and fresh feel to it, with a leaning toward strong melody and catchy rhythmic content. Scott has a particular interest in composing pieces for developing string players, and is a sought-after published composer throughout North America. Equally at home in the fields of classical music and jazz, he is also an avid piano/vocal interpreter of jazz standards and French and Italian popular vocal music. Scott is a member of the Canadian League of composers (CLC) and the Society of composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).
