Stan Renard heads to Nashville in July to participate in faculty fellow program.
(June 6, 2017) -- Stan Renard, a world-renowned violinist and assistant professor of music marketing at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), will learn new ways to prepare students for the music industry with a selective group of music faculty from around the nation in Nashville, Tenn. this summer.
The National Association of Music Merchants and The College Music Society selected Renard as one of nine music faculty members from universities across the country to participate in the CMS-NAMM Summer Fellow Programs in Nashville, Tenn. Renard is the only faculty member from Texas selected to participate in the national program.
The three-day program begins on Thursday, July 13, and is designed to introduce university faculty members to music industry professionals so they can prepare students for careers as 21st century musicians. The fellows will participate in workshops to learn about careers across the music industry, academic leadership and how to infuse music business into the music curriculum.
“It is an honor to be selected to learn new techniques to teach UTSA students,” said Renard.
While in Nashville, Renard will meet representatives from record labels. He will also visit a recording studio, a record pressing plant and the Grand Ole Opry.
Renard is looking forward to learning about a different side of the music business.
“My concentration is live music, so this program will allow me to learn how companies market their product online,” said Renard.
Renard is a world-renowned violinist who began playing violin as a child in France. Taking what he learned as a performer, Renard later conducted orchestras around Europe and America.
Renard joined the UTSA faculty in the fall of 2015. As the coordinator of the UTSA Music Marketing program, he works with students to prepare them to be leaders in the music industry.
The UTSA Department of Music is nationally recognized and accredited by the National Association of Schools of Music. The department includes top-tier faculty members and researchers who prepare students to become performers and educators who are successful in the music industry.
