Rehearsing Critical Connections for the Instrumental Music Conductor

Description

Following on the heels of his Conducting and Rehearsing the Instrumental Music Ensemble, John Colson takes students to the next level in this conducting practice with the Rehearsing: Critical Connections for the Instrumental Music Conductor. Colson here draws together the critical connections for those seeking to become fully capable and self-assured instrumental music conductors. As Colson argues, too often conductor training programs treat the problems and challenges of the rehearsal—perhaps the single most critical element in any effort to achieve competency as a conductor—as secondary. In this work, Colson supplies the missing link for conductors looking for advice that allows them to complete their training for reaching complete competency as a conductor. Colson demonstrates throughout the specific connections that the advanced conductor must know and regular employ, connections that few, if any, other works on the art of conducting address or bring together.
