Music at École Vincent-d'Indy - The Canadian Encyclopedia

…«École (de musique) Vincent-d'Indy. A private, co-educational school operated by the Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary. It dates back to 1920, when Sister Marie-Stéphane was the director of a music study program for young girls in all the houses of the Community. In 1932 a special school was set up, called the École supérieure de musique d'Outremont; it became affiliated the following year to the faculty of arts of the University of Montreal. Its main objectives were 'to promote the art of music, to teach music and singing in regular courses, to give lectures, concerts and recitals, to organize competitions, to set examinations and to grant certificates and diplomas'. To assist in achieving this program, the services of eminent secular musicians were sought from the beginning. Among the teachers were Claude Champagne, Camille Couture, Alfred La Liberté, Léo-Pol Morin, Raoul Paquet, Frédéric Pelletier, Rodolphe Plamondon and later, Louise André, Louis Bailly, Louis Charbonneau, Jean Dansereau, Bernard Diamant, Yvonne Hubert, Jean-Paul Jeannotte, Roland Leduc, Michel Longtin, Paul Loyonnet, Pierre Rolland, and Jean-François Sénart, as well as many nuns, including Lucille Brassard, Reine Décarie, Rhené Jaque, Juliette Milette, Natalie Pépin, and Monique Pomerleau…»
