Review of Program Fees
The Embodied Conducting Institute remains committed to offering the most comprehensive training for conductors and soloists at the most affordable price. Competing workshops and courses that offer less instruction, less podium time and no performance opportunities remain substantially more costly than the Institute because our faculty and staff are determined to keep student costs as low as possible.

The Advanced Academy tuition is $3,295 US. Conductors receive approximately 150 minutes of podium time with full orchestra, 60 minutes with piano sextet, two general rehearsals and two concert performances plus 30 minutes of video review with faculty, all lectures, seminars and classes and 15 nights with breakfast in a semi-private hotel room. See the Advanced Conducting Academy page for details.
Prelude Conducting Academy
The Prelude Academy tuition is $1,795. Conductors receive 150 minutes of podium time during daily instructional conducting sessions with string quintet and piano, 30 minutes of video review plus all seminars and masterclasses, closing concerts that include all participating conductors and 10 nights with breakfast in a semi-private hotel room. See the Prelude Conducting Academy page for details.
