“Manvinder is an extraordinarily effective trainer of conductors, whether they be just starting out or more experienced. His ‘can do’ approach, allied to innate sensitivity and humour, together with an ability to convey the essentials of a cast-iron technique, inspires and enables all who work with him. In short, Manvinder is one of nature’s empowerers, and is a joy to work with.”

Simon Toyne Executive Director of Music for the David Ross Education Trust

About the course

By the end of the course, participants should be able to:

• Get the music and their gesture thoroughly prepared

• Know each part well enough to accurately vocally model it

• Keep the teaching pacy and effectively lead the rehearsal whilst making it fun

• Deploy a range of simple, clear and meaningful conducting gestures

• Get a musical performance from even the simplest repertoire

• Evaluate their own achievements, and learn from the work of others, in a positive way

With limited spots available, this workshop presents a rare chance to receive expert guidance in an intimate setting.
