Extended International Pathway Program (IPP) - 3-Semester Pathway + Master of Music - Choral Conducting

At Hartt, highly qualified graduate students can pursue advanced study in our unique conducting or instrumental conducting program.  These programs are designed for students who are interested in, and demonstrate the potential to succeed in a professional conducting career from university employment to professional conducting appointments.

In addition to spending intensive time in your individual discipline (orchestra, wind band, choir), every student will also conduct and perform with other disciplines.  Hartt’s conducting program is truly unique, and we believe that it responds to the need for young conductors to be educated in a variety of conducting experiences.

CHORAL CONDUCTING

Studying choral conducting at Hartt offers you rigorous training that includes private conducting lessons, languages and diction, voice study, musicianship, score reading and preparation, performance practice, and an array of academic studies to prepare choral directors for conducting and teaching careers in the community, school, and university settings. Students work closely with Hartt choral ensembles and both degree programs have required choral performances as part of the curriculum.
