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.
