Javvieaus Stewart

"There is something for every kind of director to explore on the MCA platform at an affordable price! Every tool and resource is worth implementing!"

Andrea Townsend

"That class brought tears to my eyes.  Sometimes I'm intimidated by how much I don't know and how much there is to learn about music, but today, I was just happily overwhelmed with gratitude for how rich music is. This really re-juiced my batteries emotionally, in the run-up to my December performance marathon."

Dr. Charlene Archibeque - MCA Professor

What is the Modern Conducting Academy?

What is the Modern Conducting Academy?

The Modern Conducting Academy is owned and operated, Dr. Jaclyn Normandie, who was inspired to create the academy after hearing fellow music directors ask, "Where can I find affordable professional development?"


By the age of 33, Dr. Normandie had conducted at national conferences, toured around the globe, lectured in multiple countries, and taught high school, church music, community ensembles, and at the university level. 


But there was still something missing...


She wanted to offer high-caliber education to a larger audience who might not have access to the same level of opportunities.
