Overview

The Orchestral Conducting program is offered by Cleveland Institute Of Music University. Students can also choose to double major in the areas of theory, composition, eurhythmics or audio recording.

Key Facts

Being a CIM graduate also has its perks. CIM's Orchestral Career Fellowship, a new scholarship program available to CIM alumni, offers support that empowers our graduates to win positions in major US or international orchestras. Upon completion of this course of study, fellows earn an Artist Diploma.

The immersive and creative educational process at CIM empowers all of our artists to leave the Institute fully prepared for the future.

When you study conducting at CIM, you receive an intensive experience with high-quality ensembles composed of CIM’s student musicians.

Designed with a very small enrollment of two or three students, the conducting program gives you access to significant podium time to develop your training in this field.

You’ll also have regular access to observe rehearsals with The Cleveland Orchestra and sectionals conducted by Orchestra principals.

Your curriculum combines conducting studies with music history and literature, theory and analysis, ensemble and elective courses chosen in consultation with your major instructor.
