4.0 out of 5 stars
Extremely useful book, a little US-centred, April 25, 2008
This review is from: Conducting Choral Music (8th Edition) (Hardcover)
The book covers a broad range of topics relevant to choral conducting and choral music, an excellent introduction for someone new to the topic, and mostly practical advice (especially in the rehearsal techniques section).
When it gets onto the 'planning and management' sections, I'm frequently reminded that this is a book from the US (for example, discussion of Junior High School choral groups and glee clubs (which is not a concept I know anything about!), but this is a minor comment as the information is still valid for UK conducting experiences.
At the end of each chapter there is a suggested bibliography for further research - very helpful if you want to explore a topic further.
Now it would just be nice if this book were easily available in the UK!
