Tired of Conducting CDs?

Students can learn the nuances of conducting by leading classmates exactly as if they were a group of musicians with actual instruments.

NOTION Conducting is the only teaching solution that combines music sampling technology, intuitive software, instructive videos, and an oversized workbook built around a curriculum of standard symphonic literature.

Focus On Teaching, Not Technology

You don’t need to be a computer expert to use the software. Designed for teachers with limited time, there is no need for file conversions, patches, or integrating outside sample libraries. It’s all included – and ready to play immediately.
At last, there’s always a full ensemble ready to respond to a student conductor’s gestures – no matter what the class size may be. Other students in the class respond to the conductor’s leading using actual sound samples of the LSO.
