Content

Choral conducting:
Participation in project activities, master classes, workshops and the Engaged Art Conversations (EAC). The student choir-conducting participates both as a singer in projects, as well as, if possible, as a repetitor and / or (assistant) conductor. If necessary, he also takes on organizational tasks. Projects move a little outside the set pattern of lessons and can therefore be very diverse in nature.

Windbandconducting:
Orchestras, ensembles and soloists from amateur to professional level are used. Scores are selected at the student's level in relation to the ensemble to be conducted. The aim is to let the student experience what it is like to work with amateurs (instructive) and with professionals (non-verbal). In addition to conducting, there is also a lot of attention for other subject-related subjects. (including the psychology of conducting, the history of the instruments, Instrumentation and arranging, etc.)
Furthermore, participation in the Engaged Art Conversations (EAC) in year 1 and 2 is also part of projects.
