Important update for 2026
For the first time, the Greg McMurdo Conducting Clinic registrations will be limited to ‘post-school aged’ participants only, including teachers and community ensemble directors.

If you are school-aged and keen to learn how to conduct, don’t panic!
In 2026, ABODA WA is introducing a brand new school-aged conducting clinic, led by the amazing Sara Duhig; this event will be held later in Term 1. More details on this exciting new opportunity will be shared soon.
