You Have Great Stick Technique, Now What? - Developing Rehearsal Techniques for Young Band Directors

Clinic Synopsis:

While it is certainly an advantage to have superior conducting technique, there are additional facets that are just as important, and possibly more significant in your quest to become an effective conductor. At some point, conducting has to develop into something much more than stick technique. This clinic will focus on aspects of being a successful conductor that are often overlooked, particularly for the young band director.
