Music Conducting

Why study music conducting at Geneseo?

The music conducting minor is a pre-professional program that includes courses in choral and instrumental conducting at the beginning and advanced levels. Baton and rehearsal techniques, score preparation, and musical interpretation are stressed. Participating in the departmental ensembles and helping them prepare for public performances also play an essential role.

Students interested in the minor should first apply to the BA in music (performance) on their primary instrument or voice (see Audition Information for the Music BA: Performance Track for more information).
