Introduction to the Master of Music in Choral Conducting (MMCC)
Mission of the Program
The Master of Music in Choral Conducting offered by Simpson College strives to offer a distinctively student-centered experience. The program believes in the creative and intellectual growth of every student and 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.
During the summer, students will engage in intensive conducting and singing experiences as well as enroll in diction coursework. In the fall and spring semesters, choral conducting students will engage in academic studies covering choral literature, advanced score study and rehearsal techniques, music theory, music history, and vocal pedagogy. Students will have opportunities to participate in masterclasses with established professional musicians, master conductors, and create an extended network of fellow conductors throughout the United States.
