Michigan State University Conducting Symposium

Workshop Overview
Each conducting participant will conduct daily, receiving significant individual instruction time. In addition, participants and observers will be engaged in sessions covering score study, chamber music and its role in music education, conducting outside the realm of the wind band, and basic movement fundamentals.
