Overview

The program in Conducting at Baylor University is grounded upon a three-pronged approach: prepare the mind, train the body, and cultivate the soul.

Key facts

Through a thorough study of scores, the development of expressive and clear conducting techniques, and a servant-minded connection to the music and musicians, students are trained to communicate intentional musical ideas while leading and inspiring an ensemble to achieve high levels of artistry.
Regardless of the area of focus (Band, Choral, or Orchestral), graduate conducting students will study under the collaborative guidance of the entire graduate conducting faculty, thus making the MM in conducting at Baylor a unique and comprehensive program.
