The MM and DMA programs in Choral Conducting at UNCG offer intensive, highly specialized training for talented graduate students in conducting. The program is extremely selective, and has enjoyed a very successful track record of placing graduates into professional and university-level conducting positions. 

Graduate students in conducting enjoy regular podium time with our major choral ensembles, the Chamber Singers, University Chorale, Coro di Belle Voci and Spartan Voices and are appointed as assistants to these ensembles. Other opportunities for teaching include undergraduate conducting classes and responsibilities within the Department of Music Performance. There are also ample opportunities within local area and state for professional singing, playing, and conducting. The UNCG choral conducting program has had student participation in ACDA conducting competitions and masterclasses and has a proven track record of placement for future graduate student or post-doctoral job placement. We will look forward to receiving your materials and to meeting you. Feel free to contact Dr. Carole Ott at cjott@uncg.edu if you have questions.
