TOPIC #3 Monday, November 23
The Conductors on Conducting
It’s more than just waving your arms! Mr. Dolan and the NMYO conducting staff will introduce you to the basics of conducting. We will look at how conductors prepare the music and introduce you to the psychomotor skills that all conductors use. Then, we’ll put those new conducting skills to work by conducting some of the musical excerpts from our ensembles.
