Jorma Panula Conductor Masterclass, August 2006


Jorma Panula is one of the most successful of Finland's music pedagogues. He has trained the current generation of conductors, who are coaching many of the orchestras of Finland. Some of his students are even conducting a couple of internationally leading orchestras. Director Rauno Tikkanen from Savonia Polytechnic is a student of Panula. While participating in Maestro Panula's international conducting masterclasses, he understood that the effort could be achieved at his institution, with the help of Kuopio Music Centre, the Kuopio Philharmonic Orchestra and his own ensemble E5.

The Net Communication Department of Virtuosi - International Centre of Chamber Music in Kuhmo, develops methods of promoting, documenting and analyzing music net education. This page gives on-demand access for the students to the study material. The research and development project aims at developing virtual campus services within the framework of Finnish information society construction.

Briefly described, the process contains the following elements: The student has prepared a piece which he rehearses with the orchestra. Meanwhile, Panula supports the student with gestures, visual, verbal and sometimes even onomatopoetic comments. The core of the teaching takes, however, place in a classroom after the day's rehearsals. While screening the video of the conductor student Maestro Panula gives personal advice through intimate and detailed instructions.
