Observers
Conducting is unique in that the benefits of watching others being taught can be incredibly helpful to one’s own development. If you are thinking of starting to conduct, observing one of our short courses can be a great first step and the chance to meet and chat with our conducting tutors. We welcome under 18s as observers but do require them to be accompanied by an adult. Cost: £60 per day.
You can register as an observer at any time up to five days before a particular course by completing the observers online form.
