CurriculumThe Indiana University Choral Department offers instruction for all levels of conducting from undergraduate beginners through doctoral Choral Conducting majors. Emphasis in the degree programs is on technical, aural and analytical skills developed through the study of masterworks from the various stylistic periods; there is also a strong emphasis on linguistic awareness, an immersion in stylistic studies, and the constant encouragement to become a complete musician skilled in orchestral and instrumental repertoires and their requirements as well as the choral ensemble. Perhaps unique to the tradition of graduate choral conducting study at Indiana is the position of the choral mentor, a master teacher whose primary responsibility is to guide the graduate conductors in their research, analysis, and performance preparation in conjunction with the instruction from other members of the faculty. Graduates of Indiana's Masters and Doctoral programs in Choral Conducting hold significant teaching and conducting positions in every state of the union and in 12 foreign countries. Degree Programs
