OUR COACHS!
OUR COACHS!
Join our rock experience and challenge yourself!
Our coaches are passionate and talented musicians who represent many of today’s Montreal and Canadian music scenes.
The coaches are dedicated to the mission of Immersion Rock Montréal and accompany students in their learning. Through a pedagogical and attentive approach, students quickly surpass themselves, develop their self-confidence, dexterity and memory, as well as a real sense of belonging.
An artistic background is essential to the realization of our programs and the evolution of our students’ musical approach. Encouraging autonomy is at the heart of our pedagogy, a huge advantage in encouraging their development.
