Elements of Expressive Conducting + Choral Supplement + Conducting Baton

Description

Michael Haithcock’s The Elements of Expressive Conducting (2020) AND the Choral Excerpts Supplement (2021) make a great combination for the college conducting student. This package includes a conducting baton as well.

For those who are deeply committed to conducting pedagogy, finding a suitable and affordable text for both the beginning choral and instrumental conducting student can present great challenges. Michael Haithcock’s exciting new conducting text, “The Elements of Expressive Conducting” offers a beautifully conceived series of over 50 choral excerpts from significant repertoire in its companion text, “Choral Excerpt Supplement.”

Superbly conceived, this supplemental text correlates beautifully with the musical and technical conducting skills sequentially introduced in the primary text. Whether developing the gestures needed for cueing, tackling the challenges of mixed meters, or negotiating a fermata, the “Choral Excerpt Supplement provides conducting teachers and students with the essential materials needed for direct application of each concept taught in the text. I am delighted to endorse this outstanding addition to the conducting pedagogy body of literature.”
