To conduct the Wisconsin Lutheran College Concert Band in concert is a privilege that undergraduate students earn by passing the Advanced Instrumental Conducting course (MUS 351). A distinguishing feature of Wisconsin Lutheran College’s Music and Education departments is that Music Education majors who pass the course are then invited to continue selecting, lesson planning, rehearsing, and performing their chosen piece with the Concert Band at every concert up until they leave for student teaching. WLC Music Education (Instrumental) students enter into their student teaching experiences having conducted roughly six concert cycles whereas most music education students at other state and private colleges conduct just one. Students who participate in this practical exercise are adjudicated by Prof. Hubert at every rehearsal to help them improve for their next opportunity at the podium.
