OUR STUDENT CONDUCTORS
WLC instrumental music education majors have the unique privilege of conducting the Wisconsin Lutheran College Concert Band after having successfully completed Advanced Instrumental Conducting (MUS 351). Under the guidance of Prof. Hubert, these students continue to bolster their skills in music selection, lesson planning, rehearsing, and performing throughout every concert cycle until they transition to student teaching. WLC’s music education program stands out among its peers, in that our majors will have conducted as many as eight concerts by the time they graduate; students at most other colleges and universities often conduct just one. WLC instrumental music education majors who participate in this practical exercise are adjudicated by Prof. Hubert at every rehearsal, helping them to improve with each successive opportunity at the podium.
