Meet music educators and children’s choir conductors
Lounge for music educators and children’s choir conductors: Our lounges offer you a space to meet your peers and others interested in your work and informally exchange with them. In this lounge all those working with children and young people can exchange tipps and tricks, examples of good practice or challenges they face in their daily work.
The discussion will be facilitated by Marleen de Boo (BE).

Her conducting span covers different age groups with a strong focus on the pedagogical aspects of choral singing. Her main drive is to show amateurs, especially children and youngsters, the beauty of choral music.
