Precision Conducting, Volume 1

This text is a unique find for the active conductor: a sequenced approach to the many musical and extra-musical conducting skills that doesn't find itself encumbered by a complex presentation. Rooted in practical choral pedagogy, it provides exercises and tips to promote the kind of focused, dedicated study that conducting requires. The seven disciplines: analyzing the score, internalizing the score, marking the score, planning the rehearsal, rehearsing the rehearsal, conducting the score, and researching the score build on each other to continually reinforce earlier disciplines. Well-suited for both self-study and use in a conducting course or seminar, "Precision Conducting" is also an excellent resource for those looking to refresh existing skills.
