STANDARD: ADVANCED, DIPLOMAChris Gayford helps all conductors, whether or not they have previous experience, achieve remarkable results by working on score-learning, interpretation, gesture, rehearsing techniques and self-confidence, using examples from the choral, orchestral and opera repertoires. Some pieces will be specified in advance so that you can do some initial preparation. All participants are asked to bring any instruments that they might play with them so that the group can form ad hoc ensembles. The course will run alongside our Summer String Orchestra course and we will be offering some podium time with them each day.
