Music (Conducting)

Overview

Based at TU Dublin Conservatoire, which has a long tradition in the provision of performing arts education, the course aims to facilitate the artistic, intellectual and creative development of students by providing an integrated and structured programme with performance experience in a wide range of solo and ensemble contexts, underpinned by complementary academic, research and professional studies.

• integrate professional level performance studies with the development of advanced skills in analytical and research skills, critical reflection and communication, with particular emphasis on performance practice.
• provide a programme of study tailored to the needs of the individual student, with supporting specialist modules of professional relevance and career preparation.
