Choral Conducting

About the programme

The Bachelor of Music Choral Conducting programme teaches the entire range of choral repertoire. Special emphasis is placed on conducting technique, rehearsal didactics, vocality and repertoire development. Various vocal ensembles enable our students to try out what they have learned. The aim of the programme is to provide interdisciplinary conducting training, which includes not only the ability to conduct choirs, but also to conduct instrumental ensembles.
