Vivian Clement (Instructor)
A little background about myself...since 2008, I've performed on cruise ships traveling to over 90 different countries spanning all 7 continents. My contracts have ranged from the family-oriented ships of Disney, Royal Caribbean, Celebrity, and Holland America, to the luxury cruise lines of Seabourn, Crystal and Azamara.
Having worked as a guest artist and in cover bands, trios and quartets, I've decided to put together this course in order to share my experience with musicians aspiring to have a career at sea. For years many musicians have been grilling me about how they too could enjoy gigging on ships and making a good living doing what they love...
A few other things about my musical past. I was fortunate to have 5 books published by Alfred Publishing, the leading distributor of music education. I was also a contributor for Canadian Musician Magazine, and I've taught summer clinics with Guitar Workshop Plus and National Guitar Workshop.
When I'm between my contracts, I perform as a jazz / blues guitarist and vocalist in my home town Toronto, Canada. One of my great joys is being a studio musician and co-owning Exodus Studio Productions with my Husband Anthony.
