One of the great ways to learn how music works is to study written scores.  There are different ways to approach this but, in this episode, we're mainly talking about orchestral scores and improving the knowledge of harmonies, orchestration, development of melodic material, ear training, and more all directly from existing pieces of music from the composers themselves. Our guest is Andrew Callo, a composer and arranger who has done a lot of work with the Air Force Band and a number of other concert works.  We talk about the benefits of score study to improving the ability to compose and arrange music. Music Excerpts in this episode are: (18:10) Beethoven: Symphony No. 1  (mvt I)  - performed by the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Herbert Von Karajan (48:42) Holst: The Planets (Mars) - Berlin Philharmonic; Simon Rattle (55:53) R.

Hi there! Happy end of April and welcome to the fourth edition of the Conductor's Podcast Wisdom series, a new series full of shared life experiences and, of course, wisdom! This series is aired on the last Monday of each month, and in each episode, I am going to pose a question to 10 musicians, conductors, or business gurus. So including myself, you will hear all the goodies from a wide variety of people, thus called the wisdom series. Now, without further ado, let's get started.This month's question that I am asking my people is, “What's your score study process?”If I have enough time to do a proper score study, I start with reading and researching about the piece. I like knowing the background of the creation of the work, especially in terms of where this work was in the composer's creative process. Then I start marking my score, while listening to recordings to familiarize myself with the audio aspects of the music, and then go to rehearsal prep, like identifying passages possibly needing rehearsal, sections that would be difficult for the musicians, etc.I have a very specific order that I go through when marking my score - so listen in to get all the details. In short, I start with marking through the score a few times before going into details on the phrasal structure, harmony, instrumentation, etc.My guests today are: Noreen Green (Conductor, Los Angeles Jewish Symphony, episode 27), Lily Ling (Music Director, Hamilton, episode 21), Julia Baumanis (Assistant Director of Bands, Rutgers University, episode 31), Tiffany Chang (opera and orchestra conductor, episode 4), Jennifer Kane (Founder, NOVA Women's Choral Project - episode 16), Margaret Flood (Founder, Frost Young Women Conductor Symposium), Susie Seiter (film conductor, episode 29), Kira Omelchenko (Conductor, Wilfrid Laurier University Symphony Orchestra, episode 22), Anna Edwards (Music Director, Seattle Collaborative Orchestra and Saratoga Orchestra, episode upcoming), and my friend Michelle Rofrano (conductor, founder, Protestra, episode 3).

Hello, and welcome to Podium Time. Today we’re welcoming a returning guest on the show, Maestro Gianmaria Griglio, who first appeared on the podcast all the way back on episode 18, "If You Miss a Cue." Today’s discussion is all about technique and rehearsals, and why just knowing the score is not enough to effectively communicate with an orchestra. We dig into how to translate the score into conducting gesture, how effective technique will improve your rehearsals, and when and why you should break beat patterns. We also discuss Gianmaria’s new conducting course "Pass the Baton" on the iClassical Academy and the challenges and benefits of teaching conducting digitally or through a video course.Between our recording and this release, Gianmaria has been posting a lot of awesome conducting videos on his youtube page breaking down major pieces and showing how to apply the techniques that we discuss in this episode.You will learn:Why knowledge of the score is not enough, and how to reach the next levelHow learning Conducting from an online teacher or course is infinitely better than learning from a textbookHow your technique changes the way that the orchestra watches youHow to derive your physical gesture from what’s in the score, and how to create conducting gestures that communicate music to the orchestra rather than only conducting in patternsWhy pulse and time are more important than the pattern of your beatWhy sound is the most important thing we do with our hands and the factors that lead players to ignore a conductorHow Gianmaria selected 170 opera composers for the Opera Odyssey Project and discovered the connections that we never saw beforeLearn more about Gianmaria on his website, find instructional conducting videos on his Youtube Page, and check out his course on the iClassical Academy.Find this and all other episodes at PodiumTimePod.com.

Hello and welcome to Podium Time! Today we’re talking with Roderick Cox about how you should Think Before you Feel when you start conducting professional orchestras, or really any ensemble at any level. In his words: develop your intellectual interpretation before you develop your emotional interpretation. We tend to feel the music first or follow our favorite recordings, but Roderick teaches us that, especially when you move to professional conducting, you must have a well thought-out reason behind the decisions you make. We also discuss how the urgency that young conductors feel to be successful immediately is actually slowing us down because we focus too much on our image and being public before we’re ready, leaving us unprepared and not putting our best foot forward.You will Learn:The many paths to a career for young conductors, and how today’s paths are vastly different from earlier generationsWhy your next gig will come from symphony admin, not a conductorThe urgency of young conductors that you should actively avoid, and why you should not put conducting videos online too earlyHow to decide in an audition if you should rehearse more with your words or with your handsArguments for and against conducting competitionsWhy you should develop an intellectual interpretation before an emotional interpretation, and how rehearsals change when you’re conducting a high-level orchestra.Learn more about Roderick at his website http://www.roderickcox.comFind this and all other episodes at PodiumTimePod.com.

Every two weeks, I’ll take a deep dive into a piece of music, a famous, or maybe not-so-famous composer, an instrument you’ve either not heard of or just don’t know much about, or perhaps just a captivating event in the history of classical music in the Score Study podcast.

Hello and welcome back to The Band Director's Lounge! If you have been keeping up in real time with episode releases, you will know that there has been a bit of a lag time between the past few episodes due to the wrap up of the end of the school year. However, after listening to today's guest I think that you will find that the delay has been worth the wait!   Originally from Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin, Dr. Heidi Johanna Miller currently serves on the faculty at Gustavus Adolphus College, where she conducts the Gustavus Wind Symphony and teaches courses in music education. Her previous appointment was as artist-in-residence in Winds at Williams College in Williamstown, Massachusetts, where she conducted and coordinated the wind ensemble.  She has also taught classes and conducted ensembles at the University of Massachusetts-Amherst, Ithaca College, and the University of Minnesota. Her first teaching position was at Spring Lake Park High School, right here in Minnesota!  While working on her doctorate, she and her husband James co-founded the Minneapolis-St. Paul based Sapphire Chamber Consort, which gave several performances in Minnesota and Wisconsin. While in New England she served as the assistant conductor with the Pioneer Valley Symphony Orchestra and Chorus for one year, and continued to co-conduct the Amherst Community Band while on faculty at Williams College. Heidi is passionate about the intersection between vocal an instrumental music of all types, as well as the interconnectedness of music and art with everything else in our daily lives.  As a performer, she remained active in many community and semi-professional ensembles through the years; as a trumpet player with the Metropolitan Symphony orchestra in the cities, and as a singer, with the Minnesota Chorale, the Saint Paul Chamber Orchestra Chorale, the Cornell Chorale while in Ithaca, and Novi Cantori and the Flux Ensemble in New England.  She is currently searching for a place to sing, but has been studying ballet to feed her soul artistically. Heidi is also active as a guest conductor and clinician, having worked with ensembles in Minnesota, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Rhode Island, California, and Scandinavia.  Some of her recent guest conducting includes concerts with the Rhode Island Wind Ensemble this past April, the Gustavus Wind Orchestra on their 2018 tour of Sweden and Norway as well as their performance at the Minnesota Music Educators convention, the 2018 Minnesota Intercollegiate Honor Band, the 2016-2017 Ordway High School Honor Band, and the 2015 California All-State band at Cal Poly.  She presented at the 2019 Minnesota Music Educators convention and the 2018 New England Band Director's Institute, and has adjudicated numerous large group festivals in MN and New England. She also served as co-conductor of the Encore Wind Ensemble during the 2014-2015 season. Heidi earned the DMA in conducting from the University of Minnesota, where she served as conductor of the North Star Band and worked as a full-time teaching assistant in the music department.  During this time the University awarded her a Graduate Research Fellowship for her dissertation research on the music of Steven Stucky. Her masters degree is from Ithaca College, and her bachelors – in performance and music education – also come from the University of Minnesota. Heidi lives in St. Peter, MN with her husband, James, their daughters Linnea and Ingrid, and their two ridiculous cats, Tisbury (“Tizzy”) and Strider (aka “The Kitten.”)  Outside of music her interests include reading, cooking, baking with sourdough, ballet, golf, and running.   Heidi is a musician at the top of her craft and I think that you will find that she has some great thoughts to share on teaching band.   We are going to dive into our interview in just a second, but first I want to mention that this episode is brought to you by Audible.

Today we discuss: Creating a Positive Rehearsal Environment, how to use your conducting to encourage listening within the ensemble, and the question you should ask yourself before every rehearsal.As we gathered for our first discussion with Maestro Schleicher at last month’s ICI workshop in Boulder, we expected a general Q&A over many topics. How surprised were we when he pulled out his briefcase and read us a list of prepared presentations he’s made at workshops around the world! They included Score Study, The 12 Ingredients for a Great Conductor, Opera, Rehearsal Technique, Winds for the non-wind conductor, Percussion for the non-percussionist, and more. He brought examples of his form charts for the score study discussion, his maps of every scene in Cosi and Boheme for the opera discussion, and a bulleted list of topics for every other.

Actor, writer, conductor, and lover of fine headphones, Kevin is our most-requested guest on the podcast yet, and today he walks us through his exploration of Mozart 40, the celebration of dissonance, and an awesome opportunity for mixing music and wine this summer.Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)

Today, Luke and Alex lead our first interview with a Band Director, Dr. Michael Mapp, and it does not disappoint in the slightest. His answer to Luke’s question about what our education is lacking hits home in more than one way. What are you bringing to the music that you conduct and how are you leading your ensembles? We cover directing different age groups, the experience of score study, and what our education is lacking. Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)

Before the founding of Podium Time, Luke and I compiled a list of conductors that we just had to have on the podcast, and Eduardo Navega was right at the top! We worked with him at the Bard Conductors Institute (I've typed that sentence so many times on these pages!) and every student there could attest to his kindness and love of the craft. We were both surprised, looking back, that it took us this long to have him on the show (our fault, not his!), but here he is, and we're excited to share this conversation with such a great conductor and teacher.Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)

Today we talk again with my teacher Maestro Wes Kenney about his detailed Score Study method, identifying what conducting students need to learn, and the importance of Human Connections.Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)

Luke and I have mentioned the Bard Conductors Institute and Harold Farberman many times already in the few months that the podcast has been out, but today we finally talk with a friend from the Institute who decided to study at Bard with Farberman after his experiences there. Michael Patterson just started his Master’s with Farberman this Fall, and he’s got plenty to say about it already. Today we discuss his experiences at the Missouri State Conductor Workshop, conducting without tension, and studying with Harold Farberman.

What we intended to be light conversation about score study quickly turned into a full interview with one of our best conducting buddies that explores what we are doing with our lives and our music. Gerrit Scheepers is currently working towards his doctorate at Washington State, and we were so glad that he could take some time to talk with us about singing, study, sincerity, and what he has learned in his time as a conductor. In this episode, we discuss learning from within an ensemble, how to let the music create your gestures, and Luke’s adventures singing Schubert’s 8th Symphony!Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)

Last year I stumbled upon the perfect opener to my chamber recital on a CD by the Sinfonietta of Riverdale, a premier chamber orchestra founded and led by Mark Mandarano. Initially I contacted Mandarano to get some advice for conducting the piece and for starting an ensemble, but what he shared was so insightful and helpful that I just had to have him on the podcast for a full interview. Little did I know that our discussion would go beyond starting an ensemble and conducting chamber music and so far into the realm of score study! So, put your headphones in and learn how to get Esa-Pekka Salonen in your audience, form a conducting class at Cornell taught by Karel Husa, and start truly getting the score in your head.Support the show (https://patreon.com/podiumtimepod)
