Overview
At EAMT we offer comprehensive training in both choral and orchestral conducting. These programmes are available in our Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees, with choral conducting offered at both levels and orchestral conducting and wind orchestra conducting exclusive to Master’s studies.
Students immerse themselves in the rich history of music and engage with key scores that are significant in both Estonian and global contexts. This multifaceted approach provides them with a broad knowledge and understanding of key repertoire and the practical skills to excel in their chosen field.
Estonia boasts a deep-rooted choral culture, evidenced by its nearly 1,400 choirs. Tens of thousands participate in the Estonian Song Festival, with 32,411 participants in 2019 alone. The choral conducting curriculum at EAMT is tailored to nurture talents who can maintain and elevate the artistic quality of this cherished tradition.
Beyond preserving tradition, our conductors are encouraged to explore new choral works, enriching the musical landscape. Esteemed Estonian composers such as Veljo Tormis, Arvo Pärt, Urmas Sisask, Erkki-Sven Tüür, René Eespere, Toivo Tulev, and Tõnu Kõrvits have significantly influenced the world music scene with their innovative works.
Estonian choirs have earned international acclaim, with the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir, Estonian National Male Choir, and Ellerhein Girls’ Choir earning Grammy awards among other prestigious distinctions. Our students have the unique opportunity to work with the EAMT Sinfonietta and the EAMT Choir, fostering practical experience and collaboration in their conducting studies.
