The programme in conducting is given with two profiles: choir and orchestra. You choose one of these but may study some courses with students in the other profile.
Please note that a good knowledge of the Swedish language is a general entry requirement for first-cycle studies at KMH, but exemptions for this programme can be made.
Programme Content
Studies include supervised conducting of choir/orchestra/big band, seminars and an independent assignment. Subsidiary subjects are: ear training, form analysis, instrumentation, score playing, harmony and counterpoint, plus elective courses.
