Conducting programs for high school students

Hello! Does anyone know if there’re any good (orchestral/choral) conducting programs for high school students?
Thanks!

I took conducting classes at a summer music camp in high school. I expectvif you Google some of those you might find something.

For example, this one has a conducting “minor” for students in a summer camp music program:

Thanks for the reply! I did tried googling but didn’t find any good conducting programs for high school students. Are there any formal programs focused on conducting (excluding NYO/Aspen/Tanglewood due to age limit)? How do you like the bluelake summer camp?

Someone else asked recently and I remember answering with a few. Will try to find.

In the meantime, be assure you can take conducting in college :slight_smile:

Thanks for the response! It’d be great if you are able to find it!

Conducting programs, even at the undergrad level, are really rare. But I did find this through a google search - Curtis’ summer program for students 14-22 offers a Conducting track: http://www.curtis.edu/summerfest/young-musician-program/young-artist-summer-program3/about/?gclid=CjwKCAiAk4XUBRB5EiwAHBLUMTicNaI_OCtFrHbxXEuZgJIKS9DggYguFjtSJHKx8kLW-fdGFSm9oBoCfXQQAvD_BwE

And this one at Indiana offers conducting classes: http://music.indiana.edu/precollege/summer/music-clinic/ but it says it’s primarily an orchestra.band camp and one has to enter on an instrument.

Haha. It was SOOO long ago that I went, it wouldn’t matter what I had to say. :slight_smile:

I am looking into the summer conducting programme at Winchester College in England through Ingenium Academy for next summer. They have a week long program at both the Intermediate and Advanced levels. The program is for ages 14 - 18. We are also considering Blue Lake for next year as well.

Have you been able to gather any feedback about Ingenium Academy? It looks beautiful and well organized, the level of playing in the videos is good, but there’s surprisingly little - nothing! - in way of feedback about this place anywhere!
