Music Education faculty and students from Stetson and Bethune-Cookman collaborated on March 25-26, 2022 to experience interactive sessions with clinicians Dr. Jeffery Redding and Dr. Gregory Drane. Four Stetson Music Education majors—Holly Trudell, Emma Ruiz, Dominique Robinson, and Presley Fiore—and four B-CU Music Education majors were selected by faculty based on their work in Conducting and Methods classes to conduct the Symposium choir and band and receive feedback from the guest clinicians. Students from both universities participated in the ensembles and were engaged by the clinicians as well. It was a positive experience and plans for future collaborations are already being made.
