Mariah McDonald Music

Composer, singer, collaborative pianist, teacher, and conductor Mariah McDonald brings a fiery passion to all of her work in music. Graduating with a Bachelor of Music from Canadian Mennonite University in 2024, this Vancouver island born musician moved to the Canadian prairies to continue her education and career in music. 

As a composer, Mariah writes expressive, emotional, and technically sophisticated works. She has a particular gift for the art song genre, having spent time on both sides of the piano. Her chamber orchestra pieces have been known to evoke movie scenes in the minds of their listeners, and one of her choral works was programmed by a university choir. 

As a teacher, Mariah strives to equip her students to enjoy and participate in music for their whole lives. She guides her students towards well-rounded musicianship and loves watching them grow in their confidence and skills both inside and outside of the realm of music. She teaches lessons in voice, piano, composition, and music theory.
