The chorus conductor master class teaches students the world's advanced choral music education concepts, conducting and training skills. The training is conducted in targeted teaching styles including master public classes, public training observation classes, chorus teaching seminars, and concert observations.
According to the needs of the choir, the entire choir training and guiding master class will be customized. In addition to explaining and guiding the general chorus and vocal content, the master will also give special guidance to the group's repertoire.
The CICF will provide choirs from all over the world with a platform to showcase their singing talents. It will also provide choirs from participating countries with a good opportunity to observe, learn, and communicate with each other, so as to promote each other and jointly improve their chorus level.
The training and a series of international exchange activities designed for domestic choir teachers aim to learn, experience and practice internationally through the rich research atmosphere of the Canadian choir education comprehensive laboratory, and through targeted and innovative customized training and exchange activities. The leading choir education method effectively improves the professional skills of choir teachers, enhances teaching experience, broadens the thinking of choir and music education, and encourages more educators to contribute to the improvement of Chinese youth music literacy.
