Conductor Coaching
Having coached hundreds of conductors, I understand unique challenges of leading ensembles. I teach principles and tools in a way that few others can, helping you become a more confident, genuine, skilled version of yourself on the podium.
From primary school teachers to professional orchestral conductors, I support you to identify and clarify your goals, articulate your individual success criteria and take control of your development.
Individual lessons are available in person and over Zoom.
Ingrid is an outstanding conductor and educator. Her lessons are rich and personal. Ingrid knows how to address your individual needs, and gives you practical applications for your learning.

Ensembles
I empower ensemble members of all ages and abilities to take creative responsibility for their music-making. I work with bands, orchestras, string ensembles, choirs and chamber groups at clinics/workshops, music camps and as a guest conductor.
Ingrid communicates with all ages and performing abilities. She has a unique way of connecting with individual students and conveys the musical intention with clarity and beauty. Our students and staff gained so much from working with this talented conductor and communicator.
