Conducting pedagogues: a dialogue with Maestro Aylton Escobar, act IV

Abstract

The interview series "Conducting Pedagogues" represents an initiative of significant importance in both academic and artistic realms, with its central purpose being to provide an immersion into the intricate dynamics of the conducting teaching and learning process. Its primary objective is to offer insights, with both practical and didactic-pedagogical nature, to young conductors in training, extracted from the life experiences of conducting professionals. It seeks to go beyond purely technical aspects by addressing a wide range of topics, encompassing not only musical matters but also extramusical ones such as administrative, logistical, and psychopedagogical aspects. In this context, the participation of the eminent Maestro Aylton Escobar plays a central role. With a rich and diverse trajectory as a Brazilian composer and conductor, Maestro Escobar has a vast experience and profound knowledge in the field of music. His participation in the interview series offers not only an opportunity to explore his contributions and achievements but also to benefit from his unique perspectives on conducting, as outlined in the academic scope of the present text.
