Alexa Daniel

Music Administrative Studies

Never shy to take the stage, Alexa developed a passion for music during her 11 years at Havergal. Whether she was singing with the Choir, performing at Prayers or bringing down the house with the national anthem on Hockey Day, she feels most alive when she’s entertaining a crowd. Post-graduation, Alexa continues to build her portfolio in the music industry at Western University’s Music Administrative Studies, the only university program in Canada of this kind, where she was fortunate to receive the Music Scholarship of Merit. “My Guidance Counsellor introduced me to the idea of studying Music Administrative Studies, which is a great fit for me because I am eager to continue performing, but I’d also like to know more about what happens behind-the scenes,” she says. As she discovers more about careers in production, distribution, recording and touring in her studies, she is eager to find her specialization in the field. Usually a male-dominated industry, Alexa hopes to break the glass ceiling for women working in music administration. “It’s time for change—we need more female representation and I’m ready to make a difference.”
