Mentoring

I love working with fellow composers—tapping into their special and unique power as the leading authority on their own music, fully leveraging their innate musicianship to give them the confidence to “shine” on the podium. Translating what they are hearing in their heads into commanding physical gestures and a powerful and effective rehearsal routine to inspire the best results from the musicians.

Maestro Mentoring

Maestro Kluge offers conductor mentoring for fellow composers, providing special insights to film composers who want to conduct their own scores. He also coaches fellow professional conductors.

Maestro Kim Allen Kluge was invaluable in helping me prepare for a recent orchestral scoring session. Not only did he assist with the technical challenges I was working with but was able to intuit the mental blockages I had created myself, and guide me in ways to overcome them. I went into the scoring session feeling more confident and inspired, which went a lot smoother as a result of his coaching.

It was my distinct honor to have had Maestro Kim Allen Kluge as a mentor in my conducting career. His work with the prestigious Alexandria Symphony Orchestra has been outstanding and he has taken the orchestra well beyond it’s potential during his tenure. His insights into the works he conducts are truly amazing and his work with the orchestra has improved the quality of life for so many in our great community. I feel blessed to have worked with him.
