Conducting Techniques
Saturday June 13, 2026 11:00am - 12:00pm PDT

All of us who stand in front of choruses and desire to effectively lead them need to be continually developing and refining our physical conducting/directing gestures. This course will begin with the basics, which we ALL need to refresh, and will take us as far as time will allow based on the students enrolled. Regardless of the performance level of your chorus, as you improve your conducting, your chorus will sing better. You owe itto yourself and to your singers to continue to learn, grow and develop your conducting gestures.
