What it is

Conducting is studied through seven semesters together with a wind instrument, wind orchestra playing, score reading, instrumentation and piano. Ear training, the language of music across the periods and Lithuanian music history provide the background. Practice is central: professional practice, a dedicated practice in conducting a wind orchestra, and a final art project at the end of the degree.
