Maestro? Not from music school
By JENNY ESSERS
Gifted graduate musicians as-
piring to assume the baton will
have to give up hope for a music!
school doctoral program in con-
ducting for the time being. Prob-
lems of finance, lack of suitable
ensemble groups for practice work,
and the basic theoretical problem'
of how to "train" an artist have
joined to block a plan for sucha
program.
Combined with work in theory
and music literature, the program,
considered last year, would have
been offered for 30 credits to a!
select group of students with the
greatest conducting potential.
The outstanding feature of such
a plan, according to Assistant
Dean Roger Jacobi, would be the
opportunity fr extensive practicef "
conducting ensembles of high cali-
bre. Existing undergraduate con-
ducting classes, he says, provide
limited experience in directing
small groups comprised of class
members, resulting in poorly bal- v
anced and incomplete instrumen-
tation.
Groups such as the University's
Philharmonia and Symphony have
too heavy a performance schedule TRAINING FOR NEW conductors won't be coming from the music school. Pictured above is Chicago
