32-6441L Conducting to Picture

This course is a tutorial in the art and science of conducting live orchestra to picture in film, television, and new media recording sessions. Instruction will focus not only on the traditional role of the conductor in interpreting score and bringing out the strongest performance, but on the preparation, discipline and equanimity required to balance the dizzying array of events occuring simultaneously in a scoring session. Students will conduct their own thesis scores as well as prepared pieces to picture in virtual sessions set up in the Los Angeles lab, and learn how to work with streamers, punches, cue mixes, and talkback under the real pressures of a live date.
