Conducting options for other students

The Academy also encourages both undergraduate and postgraduate students to pursue conducting studies even though they are not on the postgraduate Conducting course itself.

Undergraduate conducting

This is designed to equip all second-year students with a basic conducting technique, enabling them to show tempo and some degree of texture and dynamic through gesture.

Conducting elective

This course involves study of specific repertoire and baton technique. Students should have attained a 2:1 grade in the second-year exam to be eligible for this. However, any second-year student who shows particular ability and wishes to undertake more intensive study may also join the elective class.
