Stage de direction d'orchestre

This 6-day course is designed for musicians wishing to learn or improve their conducting skills. Whether you are a professional or amateur musician, a music teacher or a student in a conducting class, we offer a personalised approach in a group setting.

Particular attention will be paid to drumming technique and its expressive effectiveness. To this end, our work sessions will be filmed and then analysed collectively.

A professional pianist will accompany the first work sessions, then a professional instrumental ensemble (piano, violin and flute) will be conducted by the trainee conductors.

At the end of the course, all the trainees will take part in a public concert in Cluny.

THE TRAINER
