MUSC 8004 - Intermediate Choral Conducting

3 cr.

The Intermediate Choral Conducting course would involve score preparation, rehearsal participation, and conducting in rehearsals and a final concert. DVD’s pertaining to diction, choral techniques by leading clinicians and DVD/CD’s of literature and performance ensembles of note will be listened to and critiqued from the standpoint of conducting. Weekly the students will attend both Chamber Singers and Choir in the FSC setting (3 hours contact time total). Following each rehearsal there would be 30 minutes of constructive criticism with the students and instructor. Class time would be held at another time for 2 hours of contact. Reading, time with the scores, and listening/watching to materials provided by the instructor will constitute weekly work by the students outside of class.
