Choral Conducting Certificate Program Begins
The BAUART Choir School, organized in collaboration between Bahçeşehir University and the Choral Culture Association, begins in December. The certificate program offers a new model for training leaders in the field of choral music.
ONE-ON-ONE WORK WITH INSTRUCTORS
The courses, which will last 21 weeks and 124 hours at the BAU Galata Campus, will offer the opportunity to study choral music from many perspectives. Students participating in the certificate program will work one-on-one with instructors and develop their choral conducting experience through hands-on work with a choir.
Students will study voice and breathing techniques in the field of the human voice, the building block of the choir, and will also focus on warm-up and timbre creation techniques in the choir. Through contemporary choral music seminars, they will also deepen their familiarity with music written in the last century and with composition techniques.
MEETING THE LEADING FIGURES OF THE SECTOR
Aiming to provide many of the skills and insights a choral conductor should have, the course content also covers entrepreneurship and organization, since a choir is also a musical enterprise
. Meeting leading figures of the sector in this field, students will have the opportunity to learn about many topics, from the basic elements of organizing a concert to international entrepreneurship in the choral field. By the end of the academic year, they will have learned rehearsal methods, repertoire selection, stylistic interpretation and conducting technique.
WHO CAN APPLY?
Music teachers, music professionals, music students who wish to specialize in the choral field, choir conductors and talented choir singers can apply to the BAUART Choir School. The audition date for participation will be announced to applicants.
