MUS 52.01 Conducting and Artistic Direction

This course provides a practical introduction and the theoretical underpinnings for the art of conducting and study of the musical score. At the center of this endeavor is the analysis of music through the lens of the conductor-scholar, which develops in the expression of music through gesture. Students will be required to attend weekly workshops in the art of conducting, as well as in the study and analysis of three major works of contrasting styles. The course culminates in a final conducting workshop with professional musicians.
