DISCOVER CONDUCTING:

A WORKBOOK & VIDEO RESOURCE FOR JUNIOR CERTIFICATE STUDENTS

A fun introduction to conducting developing musicianship skills, group performance skills, fine motor skills and much more.

Through movement, critical evaluation, listening and observation, this video/workbook resource brings the Junior Certificate 'Ingredients of Music' to life in the context of Conducting. 

​

Students learn:

• what exactly a conductor does!

• to critically evaluate two performances of a well known piece of classical music

• how to conduct a well known piece of classical music using gesture to show dynamics, articulation, character etc.

• how to communicate their own improvised musical ideas through gesture to each a group of their peers as they vocalise.

• to create their own score for a piece of classical music.

​

The workshop is ideal for first and second year music students building skills towards creating their composition portfolios and writing the programme notes for the JCT Classroom Based Assessments.

​

The resource is designed to be delivered by classroom music teachers and can be purchased from https://iverniaarts.com/product/discover-conducting-jct-music-lesson-pack/
