Dale Innes holds an A.R.C.T. diploma from the Royal Conservatory of Music, and a Bachelor of Music degree (Major in Piano Performance) from McGill University. Her Master of Arts degree (Major in Music / Ethnomusicology) from York University was focused on the music of South India, and the Baroque performance style of Canadian pianist Glenn Gould. She was a faculty member of the Royal Conservatory from 1981 until 1991, and has been on the Board of Examiners since 1983. In 1991 she moved to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario where she became the Coordinator of the Music programme at Algoma University and an instructor at the Algoma Conservatory of Music. As an adjunct professor in the music department, she has taught courses in music theory, music appreciation, music history (world music, Blues and Jazz) and piano performance. She also plays piano and organ at St. Andrew’s United Church.
Her research has been published by the Glenn Gould Journal, and she continues to be involved in her research into the performance practice of Baroque music. In addition to examining for the Royal Conservatory of Music on a regular basis, Dale is an active adjudicator at music festivals across Canada. In 2001 - 2003, she spent two years in China teaching English. She regularly audits the International Keyboard Institute and Festival at the Mannes College of Music in New York City. In her capacity as a private piano teacher and Music Coordinator at Algoma University, Dale continues to enjoy helping students develop their musical potential.
