Conducting

It sounds simple, and many people do not even know that years of study, hard work, experience in creating and interpreting music, and above all, a mature musical personality precede this profession. To become a professional conductor, it is necessary to complete a specialist study, which usually follows the completed training of an academic musician in another music program.

Since the path is long and learning never ends, it is my wish to inspire young musicians to become conductors and, parallel to playing the instrument, to enable them to learn the basics of conducting and score playing at an early age, and to expand their general musical knowledge. This knowledge should give them an insight into the conducting profession, enable them to lead amateur musical ensembles, and enable more ambitious students to continue their studies at music academies and to pursue an easier conducting career in professional vocal-instrumental ensembles. The courses are also suitable for experienced conductors who wish to deepen their knowledge.

The lessons are tailored to an individual or a group with the same prior knowledge.
