3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Wish I read the book before; but read on......By Denise RickerI read the entire book page by page. It is extremely well written and spells out everything about conducting. "Complete" is pefect for this book. I got put into a conducting position when I went to concert band rehearsal one night and the guy who said he would do it was not feeling comfortable about it (and he teaches jazz trumpet playing and improv in classes around the US!). I said I would do it. Being a flute player makes it tough as I can follow the melodic lines in the score but the other parts are tough. Only half of the music has a full score as some of the music is pretty old and has been passed through many hands over the years; so the music for the first concert of the season (and I had to conduct) was a challenge. I got this book after that concert. Unfortunately I wouldnt be able to mark up the scores. But after reading the book I feel more confident about helping out again. Luckily the audience was very receptive (seniors from the senior homes in town). A great learning environment for a newbie conductor!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Very good book and highly recommend for newbiesBy Anthony J. NitzHe takes you through conducting rather quickly and I will say if you NEVER conducted before this can be a good introduction to you and giving you the basic; however it might be a little fast paced. All in all; I really like this book and I picked up a few new things after 11 years of conducting a childrens choir.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Just for idiots pretty much. I learned a little bitBy MrPalmerIt was what the title said. Just for idiots pretty much. I learned a little bit; but not nearly what I needed. Ill be searching for a more comprehensive conducting text. But not bad if you are just wanting a little bit of information.
