  • As ensemble directors and music educators we do everything we can to help our students and ensembles sound their best. However, many of the conducting habits we develop by trying to help our students actually hold them back. The purpose of this session is to highlight many of the habits commonly found among ensemble conductors; explain why these habits hurt rather than help; and provide conducting and rehearsal alternatives that empower our students and improve our conducting.
