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 - they are just one of the many events that are going to shape and form your conducting journey.
1. Be super clear why you are doing it, and list your learning objectvies
2. Focus on things we can control
3. Know what you need to be successful
PS. My interview with Lina Gonzalez Granados on organizing your score, time, and journey in Season 1 Episode 38:
