What it is

Conducting is the main subject through all semesters, supported by score reading, instrumentation, piano, ear training and the language of music across the periods. Specialist subjects include the musical articulation of the string group in a symphony orchestra and orchestra music styles, and a symphony orchestra conducting practice runs over several semesters. Lithuanian music history, professional practice and a final art project complete the degree.
