Defining the field of Athletic development to Build and Rebuild the complete athlete from the ground up

Conductor/composer Charles Gambetta currently teaches at Guilford College and Greensboro College in Greensboro, NC. He earned his Doctor of Musical Arts degree in conducting from the University of North Carolina at Greeensboro in 2005. Following three years of distinguished service with the United States Military Academy Band at West Point, he created a fellowship for emerging orchestral musicians, the Young American Symphony Orchestra, serving as its Music Director from 1986-1995. Dr. Gambetta has since served as Music Director of the Greensboro Symphony Youth Orchestra and Assistant Conductor of the Greensboro Symphony, the Fayetteville Symphyony and the Philarmonia of Greensboro. In addition to his work with American orchestras, he has also conducted orchestras in Italy, Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania. Known for his ground-breaking research in conductor training, Dr. Gambetta has developed a revolutionary movement-centered curriculum for conductors based on the principles of Laban Movement Analysis. Until recently the Director of Quality Assurance at NOTION Music, he now inspires conducting students through master classes and workshops in his revolutionary Laban-centered approach to conducting that emphasizes the underlying qualities and character of conducting gesture as the most potent aspect of non-verbal communication between conductor and ensemble.
