Overview

Many graduates of the Performance - Choral Conducting at California State University Fullerton in conducting have gone on to fulltime positions at community colleges throughout the United States and on to doctoral programmes at some of the finest music schools in America.

Key Facts

A student will be admitted to the M.M. programme in choral conducting only if his or her academic preparation and experience are sufficient. A student whose undergraduate major or concentration was not choral conducting may be required to take remedial coursework before auditioning.

In general, at least one full year of experience as a public-school choral music teacher or two years experience directing an adult church choir are prerequisite to admission. Students not accepted into the programme after the first audition may re–audition once in a future semester.
