Prerequisite: MUS367 or equivalent. For development of skills in score reading, preparation, interpretation, and conducting of representative band or orchestral works. Course Description: Small group or individual instruction in the conductors craft. The course is designed to substantially improve the individual students general and specific knowledge of the multi-faceted art of instrumental conducting through a systematic approach to essential objective and subjective concepts utilized. The course will involve specific studies in instrumental literature, transposition, terminology, interpretation, score analysis, and psychomotor skills. These studies will be augmented by practical conducting experience before live instrumental ensembles. In addition, video recordings will be used extensively in the study and evaluation of each students growth in conducting technique. Text: Primary Reference Text (from MUS 366, 367): The Modern Conductor. Elizabeth A.H. Green Rehearsing the Band, edited by Ken Neidig Conducting From The Inside-Out/DVD, Allan McMurray (2 volumes) Supplemental Reading/Resource Materials Include: Conducting Workbook: Dr. William J. Moody, Conducting Anthology (USC) Learning to Conduct and Rehearse by Daniel Kohut and Joe Grant; Prentice-Hall,1990. The Modern Conductor by Elizabeth Green; Prentice-Hall,1987. Instrumental Music Pedagogy by Daniel Kohut; Prentice-Hall,1973. The Dynamic Orchestra by Elizabeth Green; Prentice-Hall,1987. Basic Conducting Techniques, Second Edition by Joseph A. Labuta; Prentice-Hall,1989. The Conductors Workshop, Second Edition by Gerry Long; Wm. C. Brown,1977. Instructional Goals and Learner Outcomes: Perform literature for winds and percussion LO: Students will experience new significant compositions for various media LO: Students will experience standard repertory selections LO: Students will demonstrate artistic competencies in the preparation of works to be studied LO: Students will interact with various conductor/clinicians (advanced undergraduate, graduate, and professional) Model exemplary rehearsal procedures LO: Students will participate in and observe rehearsals designed for both optimal process and product LO: Students will interact with various conductor/clinicians (advanced undergraduate, graduate, and professional) LO: Students will observe, analyze and discuss theoretical and compositional aspects of rehearsal/performance literature Assessment Plan: Student Attendance - Daily Activity Points for class gestural performance (60%) Student Attendance - Daily Activity Points for class discussion of prepared reading materials (20%) Individual Performance Assignments Individual assigned tapings or on-demand live conducting excepts (20%) Peer Evaluations Required of students for selected conductor/clinicians Attendance Policy: The individual instructional nature of this course requires attendance at all sessions of the course. Because of this, it is difficult to indicate a precise number of unexcused absences that would detrimentally affect the students progress. Excessive absence, i.e., missing more than 15 percent of the class sessions would likely result in failure. Course Requirements: Each class meeting consists of three basic components: study of prepared conducting excerpts, discussion of assigned reading materials, and listening exercises The conducting excerpts will be taken from both the standard repertory and new works for ensembles. Difficulty level and media will be selected to accommodate the individual conductors experience and career objectives. The readings will come from the supplements listed, as well as emerging texts of benefit to the student. Although it is not required that all volumes be purchased, several of these texts would be an essential contribution to a personal anthology. The level of the course (upper division undergraduate and graduate level) requires the student to read at a high level of retention and application. Grading Procedures: Each score evaluation will be graded for completeness, thoroughness by both the student and the instructor. Each live conducting experience will be subjected to evaluation both by peers and the instructor. Each student will be evaluated based on his/her progress throughout the semester, i. e., on his/her individual growth in conducting skills. Again, the individual nature of conducting and the varied backgrounds and experience of students enrolled in this course requires such evaluative procedures. A synthesizing take-home final may be required as a culminating written experience in the class. Additional Responsibilities: Students may be asked to attend instrumental ensemble experiences at other times to meet the needs of the live conducting experience. Students who are permitted to use ensembles in the school where they teach will have to arrange their schedules to meet the availability of the instructor. General Course Plan: The specific nature of the course and the individual attention given to each student in this class, essentially a series of studio type instruction periods attuned to the individual needs of each student, will necessitate a slightly different approach each time it is taught. After assessment of each students psychomotor and cognitive skills as regards instrumental conducting, an individualized approach will be taken for each student enrolled. Extensive attention will be given to the development of the non-verbal communication skills necessary to communicate the intentions of the musical score to the instrumental group. The development of these skills and refinement of these skills will vary from student to student. Content Areas: Given the diversity of student backgrounds and specific goals for this course, the following shall serve as examples of study content areas: Conducting in historical contexta review of the literature of the teaching of conducting and of the great conductors of the past. Score studytechniques of score study as practiced by professionals in the field and application of same to the scores used in the class. Rehearsal TechniquesA survey of warm-up procedures, tuning procedures, types of rehearsals. Programmingapproaches to programming concerts for instrumental groups will be discussed and the literature explored. Literature Review a brief review of the major literature for band and the conducting problems involved will be undertaken.
