Ideal for a beginning conducting or instrumental conducting class, Methods and Materials for Conducting is a classroom text and excerpt book all in one.
Central to this book are excerpts of 46 wind band classics, chosen to highlight specific issues and presented in score reduction form ideal for use in a small class.
This manual provides an easy-tofollow, systematic, and progressive explanation of physical technique. The chapters can be used in any order with multiple combinations of excerpts depending on the goals of the class.
Because the focus is on band classics, future band teachers/conductors immediately begin their familiarization with the very best literature available, running the gamut from Bach and Mozart to Grainger and Bernstein.
