Brass Bands England's Development Programme Online: Conducting Bootcamp with Mark Heron
This week's Brass Bands England Development Programme Online session is being led by RNCM Head of Conducting Mark Heron.
Fundamentals
It takes place on Thursday 25th June — 7.00pm (BST) and will see Mark discuss the fundamentals of posture; taking care of physical well-being; and exploring beat-patterns and physicality in relation to matters such as tempo, dynamic, articulation and sound quality.
Participants are encouraged to grab a baton (or a pencil) and clear enough space in front of their computer screen to stand up and wave their arms around!!
As part of the webinar, materials from ConductIT will also be showcased. ConductIT is an ongoing project to develop online music courses and resources.

During the session, Zoom attendees will be able to ask questions sent in via the registration form.
The workshop will begin with a short presentation on how to use the Zoom platform effectively to get the most out of the workshop while participants get used to the set up before starting at about 7.10pm.

Down the pub
After the broadcast you can join regulars down at the 'BBE Pub' to discuss the session and other things happening in the banding world.
Mark's session will mark the 14th week of BBE Webinars which have had excellent reach (over 10k views for some videos).
Sessions
The workshops will be delivered online using the Zoom webinar platform so attendees can interact and ask questions throughout the session directly.
