BGSU’s New String Leadership Development Clinic (SLDC)
for High School Students

Leadership skills for string players are often overlooked, but even within a large orchestra, the success of a string section depends on the strength of its leaders. This one-day event will help your students develop skills to become more effective leaders within their orchestral programs, their schools, and any other musical activities in their future.

Topics covered include:

• How to lead effective peer-led sectionals
• Workshops on communication, physical cues, and peer motivation/modeling.
• Basic conducting skills
• And more!

The SLDC is specifically designed for your student leaders. They could be your section leaders, students you see having a bright future as music educators, or anyone else you think could benefit from this program. Students will be invited to the SLDC by a nomination process, so please start thinking about your top student leaders (up to 5 per school).

More information to follow in August, but please reach out to Dr. Emily Freeman Brown (efbrown@bgsu.edu) or Dr. Hannah Levinson (hlevins@bgsu.edu) with any questions.
