The Conducting Institute

Falling in love with works of music is at the core of orchestral conducting. Beyond that, every conductor must have the fundamental knowledge and skills needed to study and understand a score, and to lead an orchestra in rehearsing and performing that score at the highest possible level. Conducting is about respecting a composer’s work, having impeccable musical integrity, communicating through clear and effective gestures, and being devoted the members of an orchestra. The vision of The Conducting Institute (TCI) is to build a foundation by addressing these points and giving students at every level the knowledge and skills they need to become self-sufficient, prepared musical leaders, introducing repertoire from the Americas in addition to traditional repertoire.
