Purpose
All musicians know that learning to sing or play an instrument at an advanced level takes years of practice, assessment, and feedback. This is no less true for conducting, but most university programs cannot offer more than two conducting classes for undergraduates.
The purpose of the Minnesota Area Conducting Workshop is to provide Minnesota music educators with a forum in which they can practice their conducting skills, receive feedback from trained conductors, practice self-evaluation skills, discuss issues in music education, and network with other Minnesota music educators in a musical and supportive environment.
