Orchestral Conducting

taught by Rachel Iba

We are excited to offer our inaugural SCVYO Conducting class! This course is open to currently enrolled Novae Sinfonia students interested in learning the fundamentals of orchestral conducting. Topics covered will include physical gestural vocabulary, score study, and understanding orchestration. 

Students will have the opportunity to prepare an excerpt over the course of the semester, and then will be given podium time during rehearsal to experience working with an orchestra, and will be invited to attend a professional orchestra rehearsal in Los Angeles to observe how the conductor works with a professional ensemble. 

*Space limited.
