Special Workshop Series
for Young conductors:
"How to prepare to join a competition?"
AIM and SPIRIT
This series of workshops is specially made for young conductors who want to join international conducting competitions ...!
Our aim is to help young conductors to understand and to be better prepared before they are taking part in a conducting competition!
Many young conductors have got great talents and great ambitions to win the competition and to start their career...! But most of them do not really know ... "What is a conducting competition?" And "How to prepare yourself to face the challenge of a competition ?"
.... Even for some young professional conductors who already have got lots of practical experiences and who already conducted some great concert performances, but even they could face some unexpected challenge and lose the competition in the first round ...!
And they don't know why…
And they become angry…
They start to criticize the jury and the orchestra...
They might be right ... in some cases ! But the same story might happen in the next competition which they will take part in ...
Maybe they were not really well prepared ? Or ....?
Maybe they simply don't know : "How to prepare for a competition?" Or: "How to act, behave, conduct and organize the rehearsal ... in a competition?"
If you are a good musician? If you have talent as a conductor? If you have big ambitions to win your future as a professional conductor? Then you should join us!
In this special workshop series, we will work with you in a very efficient system, which will be including:
A, Seminars with the themes mentioned above and more:
"How to prepare to join a competition ? "
"How to understand the competition ? "
"How to conduct and rehearse in a competition ?"
B, Score Analyzing as a conductor!
"The score studying for a competition is different from studying for a conservatory ...!"
“The Score Analyzing as a creative Conductor”
C, The practical training !
Conducting “Grammatica training” and
“Artistic Expression Training”
D, The competition repertoire training
The program of each workshop is organized for specific competitions´ repertoire.
As you may see the differences already... ?!
Even we can never guarantee for anyone to win the first prize, but ... through this education program in our workshop, we are quite sure that ... this will help you to become a better conductor and it will increase the chance for your future development and ... for becoming a real great conductor!

The
Jin Wang Academy
is using a newly developed system, based on 2 main parts:
1 – The way of understanding music which the orchestra musicians and the audience use
2 – A new “expressionism technique” to join the 21st century´s new challenges
We developed also a complete system of education, which combines music esthetique, philosophy, literature and cultural history with the performance conception and “expressionism method”. Altogether this education is very much related to today´s real music world, and leading to success.
We also organize seminars and symposiums for composers who are interested to preserve the meaning of the tradition and the value of classical music in writing their new music - for the musicians, for the audience and for the society – for a “neo-renaissance” of classical music in the 21st century.
