Conductors Guild Mentoring and Consulting Program The Conductors Guild Mentoring and Consulting Program is one of our most important organizational benefits, and assets. And, let's face it, all of us, at some point in our career or lifetime, need to be able to talk with someone, confidentially, to answer, assist, or guide us on our path. Guild Mentors and Consultants act as a confidential resource for member conductors who want to work with experienced mentors/colleagues for advice and guidance in their music careers. Guild Mentors and Consultants are a special group of conductors who bring a wealth of experience and knowledge, both on and off the podium, to the Mentoring and Consulting program. All Guild Mentors and Consultants have worked with professional, academic, or community ensembles throughout the world, and are active performers and educators possessing a wide range of musical and professional expertise. So much of our professional and developmental training is acquired “on the job", and after formal schooling has ended. Let our Guild Mentors and Consultants guide and assist you in your musical journey. Active members of the Conductors Guild are encouraged to complete this form and include as much information as possible regarding your mentor or consultant questions/issues. The form will be available early next week.
