Universities & Summer Academies

The classical music scene is more competitive than ever, and today’s classical musicians need to develop skills beyond the perfection of their instrument in order to stand out and jumpstart their careers. This is why I developed lectures and mentorship opportunities on exactly that: Social Media, branding, and video editing for today’s classical musicians.

My lectures have been attended by hundreds of emerging classical musicians from Canada and abroad, and I have presented them in prestigious universities, CEGEPS and Summer Academies, including: Orford Musique, the Schulich School of Music at McGill University, the Orchestre classique de Montréal Mentorship Program, the Programme de formation Fondation Père Lindsay, Camp Musical du Saguenay Lac-Saint-Jean, École de musique Vincent-d’Indy, among others.
