My Thoughts on Conducting Competitions
I've always thought that I wasn't a good competition type of conductor, until I realized that I actually convinced myself that I wasn't good in a certain area so I didn't need to continue improving myself.From 2022, I entered La Maestra Competition in Paris, won the 3rd Prize at Kussewitzky Competition 2023 and 2nd Prize at the Mendelssohn Competition 2024. In this season's episodes, I will be sharing more what I've learned in my journey.But before that, my thoughts on conducting competitions...

3 Biggest Mistakes at Conducting Competitions and Workshops
Based on my experiences teaching conducting workshops and participating in competitions, the three biggest mistakes are:1. Worrying so much about the ensemble problems when you are the one causing the problems.2. Only concerned about your conducting, your vision of the music and fail to connect with musicians. 3. Thinking that it’s only about conducting - how about your leadership styles, interpersonal skills, and the way you present yourself?All About Chaowen Ting

Incredibly Helpful
I’ve been enjoying so many episodes of The Conductor’s Podcast! The topics are very well thought-out, the guests are knowledgeable of their craft, & the way information is presented is quite helpful for conductors at any level! Thank you so much for sharing this with us!
A Thoughtful and Nutritional Podcast
After interacting with Chowen in the Girls Who Conduct program I have been hooked to The Conductors Podcast. Her interviews are thoughtful and have immense nutritional value to students and professionals alike. I look forward to many more episodes!
Good insight
I’m not a conductor… Which makes the podcast even more useful and helpful to “see” through a conductor’s eyes. As an arranger and orchestrator, I find her approach to making music very helpful.
