Orchestral conducting techniques will be developed through exercises and project that encompass the many facets of this activity. Students will focus on conducting patterns applied to elements of interpretation, keyboard skills, issues of tuning and blend, rehearsal techniques, score study, and style and repertoire. Regular videotaping of student instructors will provide opportunities for students to study themselves. Repertoire will include works from the eighteenth through the late-twentieth century and issues of conducting ensembles at various skill levels will be addressed. Prerequisite: permission of the instructor.
