MUS 3300

Is an introductory course on ensemble leadership in both choral and instrumental settings. Beginning with an overview of leadership concepts and theories, the course helps students situate themselves within the variety of approaches to organisational leadership, helping them develop conceptual and practical understanding of leadership in their own musical lives. The course then moves to the application of leadership in both choral and instrumental contexts with an emphasis on the development of practical and artistic elements, including but not limited to: conducting techniques, rehearsal techniques, applied aural skills, score study, musical interpretation.
