Wind Band Teaching Workshop

The Desautels Faculty of Music Wind Band Teaching Workshop is designed for band directors of all levels and offers a conducting participant stream and observer stream. Participants in both streams attend all plenary sessions, conducting sessions, and discussions. The workshop will explore philosophical and practical issues of teaching, rehearsing, and conducting. Sessions will address pedagogy, rehearsal techniques, gesture, interpretation, score study, and developing ensemble culture and community.

This workshop is facilitated by Desautels Faculty of Music Director of Bands Dr. Jacquie Dawson, alongside  guest clinicians Dr. Gillian Mackay, University of Toronto and Monica Chen, Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and University of Manitoba.
