Content

Choir conducting:
Doing an internship at a choir in the region under the supervision of a tutor. One of these internships is done with an (amateur) orchestra. The duration and content of these internships are determined in consultation with the main subject teacher, the supervisor and the conductor of the relevant internship ensemble. Finding an internship and making agreements about the internship is part of the joint responsibility of the supervisor and the student (see also internship scheme).

Windband conducting:
Doing an internship with an orchestra in the region under the supervision of a principal subject teacher. See also internship arrangement. During the study, an internship is organized 18 times a year with orchestras in the North-East Netherlands region. (A visit to a provincial competition or professional orchestra is also possible). An attempt is made to achieve a balanced distribution between concert bands, fanfares and brass bands during the internship visits. The scores are handed out 2 weeks before the visit to an orchestra to make a solid study of it. During the internships, 4 students are given the opportunity to work with the orchestra. As a conclusion, every internship evening is evaluated with the group.
