This course is for conductors at the intermediate and advanced levels with an interest in wind band music. Up to twenty-five students will be accepted as "active" participants. Observers are also encouraged and will be fully involved in general technique sessions, discussions and playing in the class ensemble, but they will only conduct at the discretion of the tutors.  

The class will explore conducting techniques, score preparation, rehearsal and training skills. A CD and score library will be available for reference and special emphasis will be placed on extending the knowledge of repertoire at all levels. A DVD rec corder will be used to analyse technical requirements and development. The course will run concurrently with the Symphonic Wind Orchestra and there will be close liaison between the two. All participants should bring with them any instruments they play i in order to accommodate ensemble work within the class. (If for any reason you are unable to bring your instrument(s), please let the summer school office know when you enrol.)

Students are required to learn their chosen repertoire thoroughly before commencement of the course. Less experienced conductors may find the works marked with an asterisk more suitable. More experienced students may also wish to prepare the >McCabe, Hesketh and Eric Ball works from the Wind Orchestra repertoire list. All students are asked to prepare a movement of either Suite Francaise or Songs and Refrains to conduct in the first session. For further information about the e course students should visit www.timreynish.com where further advice will be published.
