The Wind Conducting Symposium is a three-day intensive course with Dr. Paula Holcomb and special guest, Gary Hill, Director of Bands at Arizona State University. Designed to enhance the skills of conductors at every level, topics will include repertoire choices, rehearsal techniques, baton technique,ensemble development, score study, and recruiting. Masterworks and new compositions of all levels will be explored and conducted. Musical interpretation, movement and conducting technique will be discussed. Podium time will be included for those wishing to incorporate new techniques.

It is possible to enroll in either class independently, however most students find it worthwhile to register for both classes, which are scheduled back-to-back for your convenience. Graduate Credit is available for both classes.

For more information about either class, please email Paula Holcomb, or call her at 716-673-4637.

Past clinicians have included: Craig Kirchhoff, Don DeRoche, Tim Reynish, Ray Cramer, Eugene Corporon, Mallory Thompson, Robert Ponto, and Glenn Price.
