Director Workshop

Texas State will host its second band director workshop in 2009. The workshop will develop the skills of directors already working in the field and recent college graduates who aspire to make teaching their careers.

The workshop will run concurrently with Texas State’s summer band camps, with Dr. Scott Weiss, director of bands at the University of Kansas, serving as the chief instructor.

Professor Weiss will present daily sessions on conducting, band literature and rehearsal techniques. Each participant will receive two 30-minute conducting lessons with Professor Weiss over the course of four days.

All rehearsals of camp ensembles, including the jazz ensembles and salsa bands, will be open to workshop participants. Additional sessions by Texas State faculty will be presented on topics ranging from issues in band music education and “survival” instrumental techniques to music technology.
