Beyond Genre: The Piano Artistry of Dana Reason. () Gayle Young. MusicWorks. Ontario : s.n., 1999. 74.〕 Reason started her secondary studies at Barrie Central Collegiate Institute where she played the trombone. But, after hearing her play the piano, she was encouraged by a substitute band teacher to apply at the Interlochen Arts Academy in Michigan. Reason auditioned and was awarded a scholarship that allowed her to finish secondary school at the academy. It was during this time that she became interested in contemporary music composition, jazz and free jazz.〔 After graduating from Interlochen at the age of 17, Reason met with pianist Boaz Sharon from the University of Florida. Sharon flew out to Toronto to audition her, and awarded Reason a scholarship to study classical piano at the university.〔Dana Reason. Guelph Jazz Festival program.
