Instrumental Conducting & Materials (MUG 3302) builds upon content learned & practiced in MUG 3104: Basic Conducting and MUE 4332: Secondary Instrumental Methods I, and is designed to be complementary to MUE 4337: Secondary Instrumental Methods II. Focus will be placed both on application of basic conducting techniques in more comprehensive ways and exploring more advanced techniques and concepts through activities related to score study & preparation, rehearsal planning & implementation, error detection, rehearsal techniques, execution, and pedagogy. The class itself will function as a lab ensemble, with each student conducting and rehearsing representative excerpts from band and/or orchestra literature.  

MUG6306 is intended for students in the Department of Music’s Instrumental Conducting Emphasis, within the Master of Arts in Music degree program. It is comprised of both weekly individual applied lessons in conducting and an intensive and comprehensive group seminar. The seminar examines the history and development of literature and conducting philosophy and pedagogy, primarily connected to the various ensembles of mixed wind and percussion instruments, beginning with the earliest designated wind ensembles of the turn of the 17th century, and progressing to the present day, and beyond, over a four-semester graduated sequence. Research and discussion will also center on the craft of instrumental conducting and pedagogy, itself.
