State Music Camp - Orchestral Conducting

This award is for students in the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music who have demonstrated a high standard of musicality and potential to develop further their conducting skills. The State Music Camp (SMC) fund this award to support a student enrolled at the University with a passion and interest in conducting. SMC invites the recipient of this annual award to attend the camp that is usually held mid year in Melbourne. The recipient is invited to meet with the Committee about three weeks before the camp to discuss details of this opportunity. During the camp week the successful candidate will have the opportunity to be tutored by an experienced conductor and observe the four ensembles’ rehearsals, to learn the varying dynamics of conducting players of differing ages and experiences. Three weeks after the end of camp the awardee is encouraged to provide a 750-word reflection to be submitted to the Ormond Chair of Music and SMC. The reflection, for example, could outline the learnings and challenges experienced during the camp and mention progress made in the areas of music, personal development and academia. This reflection would serve as an acknowledgement of thanks to the State Music Camp.
