MICHELLE SOULLIERE

Nice to meet you! 


I have just as much fun during Summer Camp as your kid will. I want my young students to enjoy their music lessons, and express their creativity while they are learning. 


I spent 7 years as artist-in-residence for the conseil scolaire catholique Providence where I taught the arts in French using hands-on, innovative methods. I completed large collaborative visual arts and music projects with JK/SK, primary, intermediate and secondary classes. 


After touring in my 20’s, I held creative, administrative, and teaching roles with various non-profit arts organizations including National Film Board of Canada, Artcite Inc. Pre-pandemic, I co-developed and co-delivered a bilingual professional development program for Ontario-based music educators through the Ontario Arts Council.


My BFA degree is from University of Windsor. I’ve received additional artist-educator training throughout my career from Jumblies Theatre (Toronto), Royal Conservatory of Music, and Multicultural Council of Windsor.
