    Conducting (Choral and Instrumental)

    This concentration is designed primarily for the student with an undergraduate degree in
    music education or performance, who wishes to pursue advanced training in conducting,
    along with related studies in music performance and allied areas. A student must
    successfully pass an audition which demonstrates an advanced level of conducting skill to
    qualify for admission to the program. If the student plans to take voice or instrument
    lessons within the concentration, he or she will also have to pass a vocal or instrumental
    audition prior to beginning those lessons.

    Thesis (Public Performance):


    Students must present a recital demonstrating their conducting abilities during their final
    semester of course work. In some cases, the recital may consist of two or more
    performances given with different ensembles. For example, choral conducting students
    may demonstrate their conducting abilities with a non-UWM choir on one occasion and
    with a university choral ensemble on another. For recital requirements, including the
    content and length of the program, the recital hearing, and the preparation and approval
    of the program and program notes, see Masters Recitals in Performance,
    Collaborative Piano, and Conducting below.

    Candidates must also prepare a written document about the music presented on the
    recital, following the procedures outlined by their principal faculty adviser, whom they
    should consult for detailed guidelines. In general, the written document required by the
    choral and orchestral conducting areas must include composer biographies, extended
    program notes detailing the origins and genesis of selected recital pieces, theoretical
    analyses of selected pieces, and conducting analyses. In the band conducting area, the
    written document should include composer biographies and work lists; a broad-based
    analysis of the two principal works on the recital program including their place in history,
    instrumentation, primary musical material, and an outline of their overall structure; and
    tension and repose line diagrams. These documents, which are intended to illustrate the
    vast preparation and research a conductor undertakes when preparing a concert program,
    are due at the end of the semester.

    Comprehensive Examinations:
    Students must pass final comprehensive examinations in both music history and music
    theory. This requirement normally follows successful completion of the recital
    requirement.

    Time Limit:
    Students must complete all degree requirements within seven years of their initial
    enrollment.
