Bertrand Dawson was bom at Croydon, the fourth son of an architect, Henry Dawson.
By now Dawson had emerged as a leader of his profession with broad views and a firm grasp of principles, and in 1920 he was raised to the peerage as BaronDawson of Penn, being the first medical consultant to receive this honour while still engaged in active practice and teaching.
Dawson was made a KCB in 1926, a privy councillor in 1929, and a viscount in 1936.
George "Alan" Dawson was born in 1929 in Marietta, Pennsylvania and raised in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood.
Dawson's decision to limit his teaching to thirty hours per week resulted in an impressive waiting list of students who wanted to learn his "ritual" for practice, his secret to independence, his obsession in obtaining musical variation, and his quest for control of sound, color and swing.
Dawson also stressed proper posture at the drumset and relaxation in body movements, relating these issues to balance in sound in one's playing and the ability to control all four limbs.
