About

Become an expert in the art of conducting. Study music literature and history, music analysis, rehearsal and conducting techniques. You'll learn from music faculty with years of conducting experience alongside talented and passionate peers. You'll be prepared for careers in conducting, teaching, academia and arts administration on this Music- Conducting program from Central Michigan University.

Overview

You’ll specialize in one of three areas: band, orchestral or choral ensemble conducting. You’ll deepen your knowledge of music literature, history and analysis with the help of internationally accomplished faculty.
