Testimonials:"The Cal State LA Wind Conducting Workshop is a phenomenal program. The professional faculty provides seminars on topics such as programming and pedagogy, and each participant gets podium time with the workshop band and individualized instruction in a supportive environment. Whether you’re a student or an experienced conductor/music educator, this workshop is the place to develop and hone your skills."
"The close, comfortable setting helped individual growth by getting rid of boundaries that would have been in place in a more strained environment." "My favorite part about this workshop was the frequent interactions with the faculty and other participants." "The one-on-one lessons with the three clinicians were the most helpful. It was so great to immediately apply what you learn right on the podium." "Thank you to everyone for the experience, and for being so genuinely willing to help everyone improve." "Events such as this one ensures MUSIC continues to be relevant in the lives of humans -- bravo!" |
