The Art of Conducting: A Workshop for Music Educators
Music Department faculty Dr. Tiffany Engle, Dr. Joel Navarro, and Prof. Robert Nordling will lead a graduate level conducting workshop this summer. Class sessions will focus on further development of participants’ ability to conduct bands, orchestras, and choirs. This class will meet July 6-10 from 9:00am-3:00pm with a lunch break from noon to 1:00pm. All participants will receive feedback on their conducting through video-taped comments, live coaching, and peer discussion. Topics will include conducting techniques, score preparation, rehearsal/teaching strategies, and repertoire for middle school and high school ensembles. Both music educators and church musicians are welcome to participate. Tuition for the five day workshop is $530.00. Participants will earn two graduate credits through the Calvin Graduate Program in Teacher Education. Further information will be available soon on the Graduate Studies web site.
