The clinicians

A quick disclaimer. The only prerequisite for clinicians to be added to the directory is an active membership in Choir Alberta. Our membership base includes dozens of skilled and experienced clinicians from across the province, but it is important that each choir seeking a clinician takes the necessary steps to ensure a good fit. Choir Alberta takes no responsibility for any aspect of workshops for which the clinician was hired as a result of their listing in this directory.
