1 Dr. Stephen Bolster Jessica French, TA MUSIC 337: CONDUCTING COURSE SYLLABUS Fall, 2009 DESCRIPTION This is a course in basic conducting technique appropriate for conducting instrumental and/or vocal ensembles. Students will study and practice beat patterns, the preparatory beat, baton and hand techniques, left-hand functions, establishing left-hand independence, expressive gestures, articulation, phrasing, tempo, dynamics, releases, cueing, pulse changes, recitative conducting, asymmetrical meters, score reading, and score marking. Concurrent participation in the ensemble of the major applied instrument (MUS 131, 132, 135) is required for laboratory experience. GOALS/COMPETENCIES The beginning conductor will demonstrate: 1. Appropriate conducting technique with and without a baton. 2. Appropriate baton grip. 3. The standard beat patterns, maintaining a steady tempo. 4. The correct preparatory position for starting on all counts in all basic meters. 5. The correct preparatory beat for all counts in all basic meters, indicating appropriate tempo, dynamic level, and style of music being performed, with appropriate body language. 6. The preparatory beat and body language that indicates appropriate tempo, dynamic level, and style for fractional pickup notes and between-the-beat starts. 7. Proper wrist action to define the exact point of the beat. 8. Beat sub-divisions in simple and compound meters. 9. Various styles/characters of beating, including legato, staccato, marcato, and non-expressive beat styles. 10. The ability to conduct changing meters in slow and fast tempi. 11. The basic release gesture. 12. The release gesture on all counts of all basic meters. 1
2 13. Various types of release gestures in appropriate musical contexts. 14. Understanding of the correct relationship between beat size, dynamic level, and tempo. 15. The ability to choose an appropriate tempo, as indicated by the composer. 16. The fermata (1) with a release and caesura of appropriate length, and a subsequent preparatory beat in the appropriate style (long pause), (2) with the release gesture used as a preparatory beat (short pause), and (3) without a release, but with a preparatory gesture to signal resumption (no pause). 17. Cueing gestures with the left hand and the right hand, with eye contact and preparation for each. 18. Independent and effective use of the left hand to signal dynamics, subito changes, accents, phrasing, releases and cues. 19. The ability to conduct off-beat cues and accents, and syncopated passages. 20. Gradual and subito changes in tempo, including accelerando and ritardando. 21. The ability to conduct "dry" and accompanied recitatives, including the use of "dead gestures" and "time-marking beats." 22. The ability to conduct asymmetrical metrical patterns in slow and fast tempi. 23. The ability to analyze choral and instrumental scores, and to mark them for interpretation, rehearsal, and performance. TEP GOALS: This course (Music 337: Conducting) has a special responsibility to assist prospective teachers of music in meeting the goals for Berea College's Teacher Education Program and in preparing students to meet the Kentucky New Teacher standards. The specific focus of this class includes the following Teacher Education goals: 1. Teachers demonstrate their understanding of the centrality of inquiry in a learning community, the critical role of communication in inquiry, and the confidence that grows with the development of our ability to participate in a community of inquiry. Examples: mode of instruction in the class, which involves frequent peer evaluation and oral constructive criticism of student conductors; written self-evaluation by each student of their videotaped conducting throughout the course 2. Teachers demonstrate that they understand that authentic learning requires experience (direct and vicarious), inquiry, time, interest, self-correction, and external criticism. 2
3 TEXTS REQUIRED Examples: mode of instruction in the class, which involves frequent peer evaluation and oral constructive criticism of student conductors; written self-evaluation by each student of their videotaped conducting throughout the course; teacher s oral and written evaluation of all conducting activities 3.Teachers demonstrate understanding of and the ability to employ appropriate technological tools for developing students knowledge, understandings, skills, and dispositions. Examples: extensive use of videotaping and video analysis of as a tool for the teaching and learning of conducting technique 4.Teachers assume responsibility for their own professional development and for their own learning as a lifelong process. Example: all students in the class becoming members of the Berea College Student Chapter of CMENC. Labuta, Joseph A. Basic Conducting Techniques. 5th. ed. Upper Saddle River, N.

Participation as a performer and as a conductor in several in-class conducting sessions of small ensembles from the class, and participation in oral evaluation and review of those performances using constructive criticism 9. Purchase of conducting baton EVALUATION The final grade will be determined as follows: Activity Unit Points 3 tests 100 each final exam "free" conducting (in-class on Fridays, as indicated on schedule) *10 cond. exercises 15 each video self-eval. 10 each 100 TOTAL 850 *=underlined in schedule Achievement in courses at Berea College is recorded by grades of A, A-, B+, B, B-, C+, C, C-, D+, D, D-, F, U, SC, P, CP and I. The definitions of letter grades adopted by the College Faculty in 2003 follow: A/A-: These grades signify consistently outstanding achievement in all aspects of the course. B+/B/B-: These grades reflect work of good to very good quality. Work at this level often has outstanding characteristics but is not as consistent throughout the term or in all aspects of the course as required of A or A- work. C+/C: These grades denote that the student has attained an acceptable level of competence. The student has demonstrated a basic understanding of the course material and abilities sufficient to proceed to more advanced courses in the area. C-/D+/D/D-: These grades indicate work that is minimally adequate. These grades raise serious concerns about the readiness of a student to continue in related coursework. F: This grade represents work that is unsatisfactory and unworthy of credit. Exact scores required for specific grades will be determined somewhat by the relative scores of those in the class. However, in general, a score of 90% or higher will be an A; 80-89%, a B; 70-79%, a C; 60-69%, a D; and below 60%, an F. 4
5 ATTENDANCE POLICY As potential teachers enrolled in a professional development class, students are expected to demonstrate professional behavior. Also, conducting is a participatory class, not a lecture class. Therefore, regular attendance is essential. A student is allowed a maximum of two unexcused absences during the semester; any further unexcused absence will result in a lowering of the final course grade at the rate of one letter grade per absence. Furthermore, any student who is absent, unexcused, from a test, exam, Friday conducting session or a class when prepared conducting exercises are performed will receive no credit for that day's work. Excused absences include: (1) legitimate illness, confirmed by the College Health Service or residence director (unless obvious), (2) an Off-Campus Permission Slip, approved in advance, and (3) death or serious illness of a friend or family member as confirmed by the Collegium Office. Absences from a test or exam must be excused in advance to be approved.
