MUS 0181 - Choral Conducting: Technique and Literature

2 Credit Hours
The three primary objectives of this course are to prepare the mind, train the body, and cultivate the soul so that each conductor may clearly, artistically, and powerfully communicate with members of an ensemble. Each student will learn the fundamentals of choral conducting and how to apply those skills specifically to working with choral ensembles. Individual conducting skills will be developed through in-class conducting opportunities and out-of-class practice. Baton technique and non-baton technique, along with factors in interpretation, score reading/preparation, rehearsal technique, pedagogy, & literature will be the focus of this course.
