ConductIT

ConductT is aimed at conductors at an advanced level. This is a 30 credits unit that is carried out over an entire academic year as a part-time education.

The target group is conductors who are already working, and who want a flexible additional education that can be combined with work and that allows much of the studies to be carried out from home. The programme is particularly aimed at those who have minimum a bachelor's degree in performing music.

Learning outcomes

After completing and passing the exam in the course, the candidate should have acquired the knowledge, skills and general competence that enable him/her to:

General competence:

• demonstrate a good understanding of the conductor's role and function in the test situation, concert situation and as a leader and organizer.

Knowledge:

• be able to set goals for own learning and development as a conductor

Skills

• demonstrate good conductor technical skills
• demonstrate good skills in rehearsal and score understanding

Career prospects

The programme will provide conductors with a platform to function in professional life, both purely conductor-related and as a music professional leader in the ensemble. This includes the understanding of one's own role in cooperation with the local community, in the voluntary and professional music life.

Course assessment

Routines for student evaluation in the course have been prepared at the faculty and are facilitated for these types of executive courses. The course evaluation takes place in accordance with UiS's quality system.
