What is the Modern Conducting Academy?

Modern Conducting Academy was developed in April, 2021 by Dr. Jaclyn Normandie, a professional university and high school educator, clinician, and author. 

For years, she saw colleagues say, "I want to get better at conducting, but I have a family and career. I don't have time to go back to school or attend an expensive summer program. What can I do?" 

Her idea was to create a welcoming, low-stress environment that was affordable and accessible to everyone from home. 

Goals for our students:

- Continue Your Life-Long Learning

- Engaging Professional Development

- Refine Gesture & Score Study

- Achieve Musical Goals Faster

- Learn From Experts In The Field

MCA Member Testimonies
“My favorite thing about MCA is that it’s not a huge time commitment…They are incredibly effective masterclasses that you can do any time. The masterclasses are inviting, non-judgmental or intimidating.

There are people of all ages, all levels of experience, instrumental, choral, everyone together just learning." 
    - Crystal Stone (High School/Church Choir Director)
“These conducting masterclasses opened an entirely new realm of educational insights and resources that allowed for the re-enhancement of my conducting technique and repertoire.

The invited conductors of this program give valuable insights into every aspect of conducting which in turn helps aspiring conductors hone their craft so elegantly.”
