How do I study better?
Conducting is one of the most mysterious learning process. I have had literally hundreds of students and all of them are unique. The main thing is to come prepared with a solid instrumental badckround and a keen sense of curiousity.
Activities
Opera course online with singers
We are excited to start a new virtual series dedicated to learning how to accompany singers as a conductor. We will not only cover the usual recitativo technique, but the highly specific floating technique required in rubatos and constantly evolving pulses such as Puccini. We are very grateful to have four singers recording more than twenty arias of the classical and romantic repertoire, covering most of the difficulties.

The ensamble. A perfect learning tool.
. We have worked hard to create a unique ensamble, with world class players, in order to smoothen out the difficult transition between conducting two pianos and a full symphony orchestra. Our team has no limits as to repertoire is concerned. We are going to be studying some of the XX Century masters such as Bartok, Stravinsky and Mahler, as well as any pieces considered as milestones of the symphonic repertoire.
