During the Australian Band and Orchestra Directors Conference 5-8 June in Brisbane, Roland Yeung will be offering one-on-one or small group conducing lessons. These lessons can cover a full range of issues to do with conducting concert bands and orchestra, and staging concerts. Conductors are encouraged to bring a work they know to work on – the lesson can be on the general conducting posture to match the work, clarity of conducting gestures, or gestures for a particular change in the music score. Conductors can come to the lesson just with their baton to work on principles of the Saito Conducting Method – a gesture can be taught and used in a range of characters. Scores can be analysed to help plan rehearsals focussing on what is essential for music performance. Perhaps discuss rehearsal strategies to empower your musicians to play in a more characteristic manner, show leadership in how they play, listen across the group to inform them how to play their own part and ways to use routines to build success. Planning planning events need a vision and attention to detail with a solid project timeline. For more information or make contact with Roland, please visit rolandyeung.net
