 A 5-Day Professional Development Workshop for Conductors of Choirs at All Levels

This 5-day professional development workshop, designed for conductors of choirs at all levels, gives special emphasis to the important role non-verbal skills can play in rehearsal and performance.

  • Explore movement activities deigned to improve intonation, timbre, rhythmic accuracy and to expand dynamic range.
  • Examine the effect of the conductor's posture and gesture on vocal production and choral tone.
  • Experience how effective pacing and affirmative instruction improves both focus and retention in the choral rehearsal.
  • Enhance practical conducting skills during daily master classes.
  • Enjoy daily reading sessions from a large packet of octavos personally selected by Rod Eichenberger.
