Eldad Tsabary received his education at Boston University, CUNY Graduate Center, Mannes College of Music, Rimon School of Jazz and Musitechnic. He studied composition under David Loeb, David Olan, David Del Tredici, and Tim Brady, Schenkerian Analysis under Carl Schachter, and contemporary music theory under Philip Rupprecht and Philip Lambert. Eldad has taught electroacoustic composition, performance, history, and ear training at Concordia since 2005. He also teaches sound recording, digital audio, MIDI, synthesis, sampling, and sound for image at Formation Musitechnic since 2007. In collaboration with other faculty members, Eldad has been involved for several years with developing an ear training method specialized for electroacoustic studies at Concordia's music department, using auditory scene analysis, perception, and brain studies as theoretical foundations, and mixed-method action research as an educational model. This method is geared at improving aural segregation, discrimination, identification, and integration skills of EA students and to develop an aural flexibility with tonal, none-tonal, and unpitched aural stimuli, enhancing students' abilities in all other courses in the curriculum. Eldad has also given related talks and taught ear training workshops at Toronto Electroacoustic Symposiums, NAISA's Sound Travels Intensive, and CRES/CFRO Co-op Radio (Vancouver). His related writings have been published and his doctoral research in music education at BU is also on the topic. He is the Canadian director of 60x60 and is the treasurer of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community (CEC) - Canada's national EA Organization.
