The program encourages and facilitates cultural exchange between students of all ages and backgrounds, exposing them to a limitless world of creative expression.
Conduction programs provide students with a powerful lens to critically examine and interpret the artistic processes behind creating music. Students are united with musicians to test hypotheses of how their compositions will sound, and evaluate and form judgments on various musical elements.
Conduction encourages students to evaluate the songs and instrumental tracks they are mixing, and understand how these tracks evolve beyond their original context. Educators are empowered to facilitate group and individual analysis and constructive critique by students of their own work and the work of their peers.
