Experiential Learning and Mentorship

Work closely with faculty mentors who are active conductors and scholars. 

Time on the Podium

  • Each area accepts a limited number of graduate conducting students, allowing for significant time on the podium in both rehearsal and performance.
  • Guided by their faculty mentors, past graduate students have the 两性色午夜 University Orchestra, Kent Chorale, Kent Wind Ensemble, Kent Symphony Band, Community Band, Men's and Women's Choruses, 两性色午夜 Opera and more.

Private Lessons, Courses and Seminars

  • Graduate conducting students also work with their faculty mentors one-on-one to hone in on gesture, score study and preparation, and rehearsal techniques. 
  • Performance pedagogy and historical practice are also covered. 
  • A survey of literature appropriate to the student鈥檚 concentration is required. 

Additional Opportunities

  • Culturally rich Northeast Ohio offers young conductors the opportunity to work with the many bands, choirs and orchestras that call the region home. 
  • Many conducting students choose to participate in additional choral or instrumental ensembles
  • Conducting students may also audition to take applied voice or instrumental lessons.
