MSMUS 511R-512R — Advanced Score Reading and Musicianship for Conductors

2 credits per semester
Fall and Spring
Kyle Blaha

An advanced course for conducting students that provides an in-depth study of the repertoire through score-reading and performance. At the core of the class are prepared and sight-read excerpts from the repertoire that provide an intimate and comprehensive understanding of the assigned scores. In addition, exercises in dictation, transposition, singing, keyboard skills, rhythm, and sight-reading allow the students to continuously hone their skills on a personalized basis.
