NO COMPROMISE CONDUCTING CLASSES
Imagine placing the sounds of the entire London Symphony Orchestra into the hands of the Conducting class – every day. Students can master the nuances of conducting by leading classmates exactly as if they were an entire ensemble with actual instruments. Notion Conducting is the only teaching solution that combines the superior playback and continuous tempo control of software along with instructive videos and full-sized workbook built around a curriculum of standard symphonic literature.
Wouldn't your students prefer conducting the London Symphony Orchestra rather than CDs? Augmenting existing curricula with Notion Conducting provides full class involvement (with an element of fun), immediate feedback, useful homework, independent score study, and frees the instructor to concentrate on each individual student's continued improvement.

"The hallmark of a Berklee education is that our students learn by doing, which is exactly the experience that Notion Conducting provides. Students can go beyond learning the basics of conducting to developing their own interpretations of a score in an environment that provides direct and immediate feedback, much like working with a live orchestra."
