Synopsis:

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.

From the Back Cover:

The Fifth Edition of Basic Conducting Techniques provides sound, practical, hands-on procedures, techniques, guidance, and materials for the beginning conducting class. Joseph A. Labuta, an experienced musician and educator, employs a broad repertory of musical excerpts and scores, most reduced to four-part format, which enables students to work with an ensemble of class members to practice conducting and rehearsal techniques at each class meeting.

Features:

• Along with each carefully selected example from music literature are specific instructions keyed to the text, identifying conducting problems the student must master to develop conducting skills.
• Excerpts include orchestral materials, band scores, as well as choral music excerpts, choral scores, and choral rehearsal techniques.
• Modular format for self-paced learning; provisions for ongoing student evaluation, including rating scales, checklists, and analytical guides.
• Alternate approaches for use of the materials provided to the instructor.

New to the Fifth Edition:

• Transposed parts for the musical excerpts in Part III.
• Examples of score analysis for students to use as models.
• More detail and elaboration of instruction preceding the excerpts.
• A Mastery section for challenge and evaluation.
• Additional photographs to clarify and model techniques.
