Voce in Tempore A. C.
Choir Conducting Diploma
Español / English
Presentation
This Diploma course is the result of more than fifteen years of commitment to choral music in Mexico. Many experts in diverse fields of knowledge have participated for this programme: musicians, conductors, singing professors, musicologists, sociologists and pedagogues.
We have set up the target to provide a space where every person interested in choral music can develop themselves, so that they can perform this activity in a serious and professional manner.
This project is a concrete way to live our mission as a civil society day by day: to promote, transmit, and make choral music in Mexico a professional activity.
Objectives

Aimed at
People who are active in the choral activity at any level: musical educators, classroom teachers, choir conductors, musical pedagogy students, instrument players and choir singers, with or without professional studies.

Benefits
Studies in various countries have demonstrated that choral music is an enriching activity for the social and cultural development of the countries. Thus, in countries like Finland, Sweden, Venezuela, and Great Britain, among others, this activity is part of the whole development of citizens.
Choral music helps to integrate communities. It is within the choir that cohabitation is favoured, since choral singers widen their social and teamwork abilities, which allows them to develop as free and joyful human beings.
We are convinced that a choral singer or a choral conductor promotes among their friends and colleagues activities where they share music and artistic discipline in a harmonious space beneficial for the society.
