[Menvi-discuss] conducting

The book, The Harvard Brief Dictionary of Music, can be borrowed from the
Library of Congress; it has a diagram on conducting.

Hi everyone.

As part of my degree in vocal performance, I have to take at least one
semester of conducting.  The professor is not sure how to teach me,
and I'm not sure how I am going to learn.  I was thinking that being
in the class would not be benificial to me because I will not be able
to see the patterns and things that are shown to the class visually.
I imagine that I would be behind.  My school is thinking of offering
me some kind of independent study option.  Is this a good solution?

This is only the half of it though because the professor of the
conducting classes honestly has no idea how to teach me.  I would
really like to learn.  I think conducting would improve my rhythm, and
depending on what I choose to study in grad school, it might be
useful.  I know there are blind people who have taking conducting;
what have you done?  How have you learned?  Any suggestions would be
great.

Thanks.
