Conducting Small Ensembles

Department - COMP
Offered - Fall
Course number - COND-355

This course is designed to give students practical experience in conducting rehearsals of small instrumental groups. Students will expand their conducting technique and deepen their score-preparation skills in class meetings with their colleagues playing MIDI keyboards in preparation for sessions with small ensembles (e.g., brass quintet, flute choir, string quartet, wind quintet); at these sessions themselves, the students will meet the challenges of analog instrumental groups-balance, intonation, rehearsal skills, and conductor-performer relations.
