Yale school of music:


Conducting

Orchestral Conducting
The orchestral conducting program offers intensive training to a highly gifted group
of young conductors. During the two-year curriculum students train with the
Philharmonias music director and have the opportunity to conduct the Philharmonia
and other ensembles in rehearsal and performance.
While there is an emphasis on orchestral repertoire, students develop their technique

and general musicianship. Score reading skills and analysis classes are required. In
addition, students in the program are strongly encouraged to take advantage of the
diverse course offerings of the School of Music, the Department of Music, and the
other divisions of the University.
* Please note that we will not have openings in the orchestral conducting
program for fall 2015.

Choral Conducting
The program prepares students for careers as professional conductors in a variety of
contexts including educational, civic, and church. A primary emphasis of the masters
degree is laying the foundation for continued work in a doctoral program. Students are
expected to expand their musicianship skills and develop the broad knowledge of
repertoire required of conductors.
The program for choral conductors includes individual lessons with the choral
conducting faculty, and lessons during regular supervised sessions with the repertory
and recital choruses. Attendance at a weekly seminar and membership in the Yale
Camerata are required each term. First-year students conduct Repertory Chorus in two
shared performances. Second-and third-year students present a degree recital with the
Recital Chorus.
Choral conducting students are required to study voice as a secondary instrument for
two terms and are encouraged to pursue other secondary instrumental studies.
Students who are enrolled in the School of Music through the Institute of Sacred
Music will have additional requirements as specified by the Institute. All students are
expected to avail themselves of the offerings of the University, particularly courses in
the Department of Music. Choral conductors are advised to observe rehearsals of each
of the various vocal and instrumental ensembles. Further conducting experience is
gained by serving as assistant conductor for one of the faculty-led choirs. Visiting
guest conductors have included Harold Decker, George Guest, Sir David Willcocks,
and Robert Shaw.
