PT48: "Study Scores!" with Ching-Chun Lai

62 min • 6 maj 2019

From Gunther Schuller and Frank Battisti, Ching-Chun Lai learned how to approach scores as a composer and identify style and architecture. Today we speak about that and more as Ching-Chun walks us through her score study process, building the most important foundations of a conducting education, and making the most of your resources as a student. Plus, we talk about some of the drawbacks of getting a job right out of school and how to prepare for effective rehearsals.

This week we discuss:

Ching-Chun’s Path to the Podium
Crane School of Music
Working on the details with Gunther Schuller
Studying the score like a composer
A walk through the score study process
Preparing for efficient rehearsal
Distancing yourself from a work you know aurally
Eight Songs for a Mad King
Foundations of a conducting education
Learn what you can about every instrument
Gstaad Mehunin Festival Academy
Drawbacks of getting a job early
Hidden Gems:
