Program overview
The Complete Conductor is a workshop for conductors/educators offering a comprehensive approach to teaching, conducting, and enhancing musicianship through band rehearsals. In addition to substantial podium time and feedback regarding conducting technique, workshop sessions presented by UW-Madison faculty members and guest clinicians address rehearsal strategies, repertoire selection, enhancing ensemble section tone, and music education philosophy.
Participants in the workshop may enroll in one of two tracks. Track I is for those who wish to concentrate on conducting skills.

In order to increase podium time, this track is limited to 16 participants.
