Once More, With Feeling: How Conductors' Use Assessments And Directive To Provide Feedback Impact Change And Improvement

Within this workshop, Dr. Kathryn Emerson will examine her research on choral conductors and how they socially interact with singers.

She will explore how conductors create musical changes through their verbal and non-verbal interactions with singers.

By focusing on the interaction of assessments and directives, Dr. Emerson will reveal how change and improvement in the choir’s singing can be positively impacted.

The workshop is ideal for choral directors, singers, musicians and anyone with an interest in deconstructing how we communicate through the medium of conversation analysis.
