Description
For one/two-semester junior-level conducting courses in department of Music.
Designed for use with mixed classes of instrumental and choral music majors, this competency-based student workbook provides sound and practical hands-on procedures for beginning and advanced conducting students. It features a broad repertory of musical excerpts, and-since most are reduced to a four-part format-students can practice conducting skills and rehearsal techniques at each class meeting. The workbook promotes self-directed learning by challenging students to attempt conducting techniques as they arise in the music.
