Young Conductor Day

Saturday 9th April 2022

9.30am - 4.30pm, Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, 200 Jennens Road, Birmingham, B4 7XR

If you are aged 18-25 and interested in leading a choir, or already have some conducting experience and would like to learn more, come and extend your choral leadership skills by joining Lucy Hollins for a stimulating day of active participation, observation and ideas.

No previous conducting experience is necessary, but the day is also suitable for those who already have some experience in leading singing and would like to develop their conducting and musical skills. The day will focus on conducting technique and beat patterns as well as how to teach songs and lead rounds efficiently, and how to direct a variety of simple songs in different meters, styles and languages.

Conductor fee: £40 (non-members), £30 (members)

Observer fee: £15

We offer a limited number of conductor bursary places (£10/conductor). Please contact our Training Manager, Elisabeth Brierley, on 07805 454563 or elisabeth.brierley@abcd.org.uk for further information on how to apply.
