Young Conductor Mentor Project
NBA implemented the Young Conductor Mentor Project in 2004
under the direction of NBA Past President Paula Crider. The Project seeks to
identify, inspire and build on the skills and knowledge of the young conductors
thereby enhancing the whole of our profession. Three young conductors between
the ages of 18 and 29 are selected to study and interact (at no charge) with
a three-member mentor team of notable music educators.
This Project works hand in hand with the Young Composer Mentor Project to pair the young conductor with the young composer in a truly inspiring interactive process. The young composers have been very fortunate to have had their works played by professional military ensembles under the batons of the young conductors.
The National Band Association gratefully acknowledges Bands of
America for their continued assistance and support in underwriting
this Project. The next project will occcur in the summer of 2008. Click
