Mabel Madison Watson (December 16, 1872 – September 12, 1952)[1] was an American composer[2] who taught piano and violin students.
Her father wrote several school textbooks,[4] and children's author Emilie Poulsson lived with the Watson family during Mabel's childhood.
She studied music with Kate Sara Chittenden, Herbert Greene, Albert Rosa Parsons, Harry Rowe Shelley, and Otto Meyer[5] in America; and with Oscar Raif in Berlin and Isidor Philipp in Paris.
She published at least one article in the journal Kindergarten Review: Music as an Element in Aesthetic Training.
In 1920 and 1921, Watson directed the Keene Valley Summer Music Colony (or School)[8] in the Adirondack mountains, with assistance from violinist Otto Meyer, her former teacher.
