Abstract

Sharing experiences of the academic, artistic and professional life on the Conducting field, leads to a reflection about the formation of conductors. What takes to be a Maestro? How to balance theory and praxis? Which teaching techniques are essential in a conductor formation? This interview is the first of a dialogue circuit with national (Brasil) and international Maestros. The first guest is the Professor and Maestro Eduardo Lakschevitz. On his path between Brazil and The United States, Lakschevitz works hardly as the coordinator and pedagogue of FUNARTE Choral Conducting Pannels, and his actions reflect on the production and dissemination of the choral repertoire and on training courses to conductors and musical educators. Giving voice to Maestros such Lakschevitz allows us to visualize new practical, conceptual and pedagogical perspectives, and leads our attention to the real necessities on the Conducting field: thinking and acting beyond the gestural techniques.
