The Master of Music in Choral Conducting, offered by Simpson College in partnership with CORO Choral Institute, strives to be a distinctively student-centered experience.
The program believes in the creative and intellectual growth of every student. It seeks to provide curriculum and experiences that lead to highly-qualified and experienced artist-teachers in choral music.
The degree is designed to prepare musicians for careers in choral conducting through graduate-level coursework and professional-level performances. Simpson College offers a master’s degree in choral conducting during the summers only in conjunction with the CORO Choral Institute in Atlanta, Georgia.
During the course of study, choral conducting students will engage in academic studies covering choral literature, applied conducting lessons, advanced score study and rehearsal techniques, music theory, music history, and available electives, including applied vocal pedagogy, vocal health and body mapping, and choral diction, among others. All students will also be required to participate in professional-concert tours as available. In addition, students will have opportunities to participate in masterclasses with established professional musicians and master conductors and create an extended network of fellow conductors throughout the United States.
