Temple Sings invites choral conductors and enthusiasts to gather in Philadelphia for an upbeat and enriching week. Summer Seminar 2012 will offer conductors of all interests and abilities the opportunity to hone their complete choral craft – from daily master-classes in conducting gesture to interest sessions on a wide variety of topics, including:

• Rehearsal techniques
• Score study
• Vocal health and technique
• Selecting excellent repertoire
• Reading sessions

 

Wind Conducting and Teaching Workshop

for wind educators of all levels

July 15-19, 2012

Sessions will explore physical gesture and its relationship to sound, baton technique, rehearsal technique, approaches to score study, programming ideas and repertory. All participants will have daily opportunities to conduct— morning sessions are devoted to chamber ensembles and small group excerpts, and afternoon sessions are devoted to conducting the large Workshop Band and topical discussions. A unique aspect of the Wind Conducting and Teaching Workshop is the opportunity to participate in one of three “tracks” of training.
