Conducting auditions are something that's hard to navigate as each organization and ensemble does look for different things, but no one would disqualify a good conductor!

Typically, an audition for an assistant conductor would be only 10-15 minutes, while a music director audition might be a full rehearsal (2-3 hour), or even a concert cycle consisting 4-6 rehearsals, depending on the ensemble's schedule.

My objective of all conducting auditions is to share my musical ideas with the ensemble while demonstrating a representation of how my typical rehearsal flows.

Some Tips:

Only verbally ask for things that you’ve already shown in your conducting (and not getting)
Refrain from talking too much about the historical background, stories, etc. unless it’s necessarily and absolutely related to your point
Have a structure of the rehearsal, and share it with the musicians
If it’s not good, ask again. Don’t leave things when they are still bad

Do you also use recordings to help your score study process? Today I am going to share a few things that I do with recordings! 1. See the many interpretational possibilities regarding tempi, balance, or conducting patterns. 2. Check what I might have missed in your score study (dynamics, chord change, important lines, or bringing out a different layer) 3. Memory check when memorizing the score 4. Know what might need rehearsals 5. Help visualize the score 6. The choreography of conducting gestures, 7. Bowings consultance All About Chaowen Ting…

My Thoughts on Conducting Competitions 27:43

33 weeks sitten27:43

27:43

I've always thought that I wasn't a good competition type of conductor, until I realized that I actually convinced myself that I wasn't good in a certain area so I didn't need to continue improving myself. From 2022, I entered La Maestra Competition in Paris, won the 3rd Prize at Kussewitzky Competition 2023 and 2nd Prize at the Mendelssohn Competition 2024. In this season's episodes, I will be sharing more what I've learned in my journey. But before that, my thoughts on conducting competitions - they are just one of the many events that are going to shape and form your conducting journey. 1. Be super clear why you are doing it, and list your learning objectvies 2. Focus on things we can control 3. Know what you need to be successful PS.

3 Biggest Mistakes at Conducting Competitions and Workshops 12:28

41 weeks sitten12:28

12:28

Based on my experiences teaching conducting workshops and participating in competitions, the three biggest mistakes are: 1. Worrying so much about the ensemble problems when you are the one causing the problems. 2. Only concerned about your conducting, your vision of the music and fail to connect with musicians. 3. Thinking that it’s only about conducting - how about your leadership styles, interpersonal skills, and the way you present yourself? All About Chaowen Ting…
