Falling in love with works of music is at the core of orchestral conducting. Beyond that, every conductor must have the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to study and understand a score, and to lead an orchestra in rehearsing and performing that score at the highest possible level.
Conducting is about respecting a composer’s work, having impeccable musical integrity, communicating through clear and effective gestures, and being devoted the members of an orchestra.
The vision of The Conducting Institute (TCI) is to build a foundation by addressing these points and giving students at every level the knowledge and skills they need to become self-sufficient, prepared musical leaders, introducing repertoire from the Americas in addition to traditional repertoire.
