ConductIT

ConductIT is a study programme designed to offer flexible conducting training to music students, music educators and music professionals.

The ConductIT study programme consists of a number of individual courses in conducting. Each course represents a profile or specialization within conducting. With the exception of the general introductory course ConductIT

Express, all specialization courses are offered in two levels. Level two will normally require the student to first complete level one of the same specialization. The introductory course ConductIT Express is not mandatory.

The concept is that the student can choose one or several courses as building blocks in developing their own competence, according to their goals, interests, and prior knowledge. For some, taking only one course is ideal. For others, it will be useful to undertake several of the ConductIT courses over time. Only one course can be taken at a time.

Courses in the ConductIT study programme are subject to a sufficient number of applicants for each specific course to be realized. The faculty may cancel announced courses if there are not sufficient participants.
