The 2017 SCCC Conference '150 Golden Threads' - The Building of a Nation is themed to go along with Canada's 150th birthday celebrations.  It is focusing on what and how it was and is to build a nation.  They would like to offer sessions to participants and the general public with emphasis on this theme although areas that interested instructors excel in, that do not follow the theme, will also be seriously considered.

 

Definition of a MASTER CLASS - A master class is a class given to students of a particular discipline by an expert of that discipline, any of the arts,  where skills are being developed.  A master class is an instructional class given to advanced or extremely gifted students by a master that is known and revered in that particular field.  In a master class, the students are coached on performing techniques and stage presence to add polish and help you with a possible professional career.
