Choral conducting
Introduction
In the Department of Choral Conducting, students can learn to become a choir conductor. Students are prepared to pursue further studies at a higher music school or work as a conductor, a music, solfeggio or theory teacher, or as a professional choir singer.
The speciality of choral conducting is fascinating and diverse. Students gain practical experience as both singers and conductors in the school’s chamber choir and concert choir. Students have the opportunity to showcase their skills and compare themselves with others in the conductors’ competition involving three schools.
Studies conclude with a final examination in choral conducting, which includes practical work with the choir and a concert with a prepared choir and programme. The final examinations in harmony and solfeggio serve as entrance examinations for the Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre. Graduates receive the fourth qualification level conductor profession.
Students of the choral conducting speciality must complete the conductor curriculum.
