Work Requirements for various grades
- Pass/Fail: active class participation and a journal describing
the practical application of knowledge acquired in the course
related to the participant's own choral ensemble(s).
- Grade of "B": journal as described above, plus describe
in writing (2 pages) a choral music topic discussed in the course
which is of special interest to the participant and its practical
application to their own program.
- Grade of "A": journal and paper as described above, and
an additional paper (circa 3 to 5 pages) exploring a specialized
aspect of choral music which has practical application for the
participant.
This course is designed to enhance the skill level and increase the breadth of knowledge of the participant in several primary facts of choral music conducting. Participants will observe and practice the performance skills required in conducting and rehearsal technique. Additionally, participants will learn score study and preparation, performance practice criteria, style and interpretation, together with a comprehensive study of the elements of choral ensemble. The primary target audience for this course includes choral conductors and choral music educators who hold an undergraduate degree in music: however, students currently enrolled in an undergraduate course of study in choral music would find the course useful and applicable.
