Description
The Dakota Pro Musica Conducting and Singing Workshop offers a comprehensive experience for conductors and singers seeking to refine their skills in choral leadership and classical vocal technique. Participants will engage in interactive sessions focused on vocal pedagogy, rehearsal strategies, and practical conducting techniques. The workshop will culminate in a public concert featuring participants. Each track includes masterclasses, discussion-based instruction, and guided practice opportunities.
This workshop is intended for experienced musicians—particularly music educators or those with a degree in music—and may require audition materials for placement; enrollment is limited, with spots allocated to maintain a balanced ensemble by voice type.
