This "virtual" intensive includes curated music lessons, group classes, and performance opportunities!
With our team of highly experienced and diverse faculty, the SMI is student-centred and intentionally designed to work for all skill-levels and experiences!
This program will provide pathways for marginalized youth to become invaluable members in all facets of the music industry. Through exploration and creative play, they will gain confidence in performing, develop their musical techniques, and gain a network of like-minded peers and professional faculty.
This has a been such an incredible and collaborative experience. I'm leaving this program with new mentors and colleges that are inspiring me with all of their creative work. The dedication to creating a new world for classical music is the spirit of this program and it's been a pleasure being a part of it!
