Reviews

This was an interesting and very useful course. Directors responsible for rehearsing ensembles will enjoy learning techniques, and even experienced conductors will benefit from revision and sharing.

I love the Course and appreciate the courser for providing this opportunity to us mostly from the interface of Africa.

Thank you so much for such excellent course. now I do understand my conductor way better then before

Greate course to show the bassics of conducting. Also you get a lot of ideas for beign a better teacher as many things on aproaching an ensemble can be apllied to an instrument class.
