Nick Mahon
Founder & Creator of Practice.farm
Nick Mahon has been a member of the Orchestre Symphonique de Québec since September 2013 and was appointed principal trombone in 2016. He performed as soloist with the OSQ in 2017, playing the Albrechtsberger Concerto for alto trombone. In 2019, he joined the faculty of the Conservatoire de musique du Québec as professor of trombone.
A native of London, Ontario, Nick studied music performance at the University of Toronto. His festival experience includes the Tanglewood Music Centre and Music Academy of the West. He has performed with the Hong Kong Philharmonic, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, Canadian Opera Company, and numerous other Canadian orchestras, and was a multiple prize winner at the 2011 Orchestre symphonique de Montréal competition.
Drawing on nearly 20 years of software development experience, Nick created Practice.farm in 2025. What started as a personal practice tool evolved into a resource he shared with his students at the Conservatoire. Practice.farm has since grown into a comprehensive practice application serving musicians around the world.
