Description:

For the first time, two of America’s most respected conductorsa—instrumental and choral—enter into a collaboration, using cutting-edge technology to illustrate their teaching principles for learning the basics of conducting technique.

Through insightful master class dialogue, unique multi-angle video demonstrations, and state-of-the-art motion capture animation, conductors will be able to study the gesture of both renowned conductors.

Revolutionary graphics show the skeletal movement of each conductor in real-time to give conductors an in-depth and accurate picture of body mechanics and architecture. Topics covered on this program include:

  • Basic conducting patterns in legato and marcato for all basic meters
  • Conducting with and without a baton
  • Extensive demonstration of preparatory gestures
  • Explanation of the architecture of conducting
  • Body Mapping principles applied to conducting
  • Discussions on Sound Shaping and Sound Morphology
  • Unique interactive menu allows conductors to study conducting patterns from several angles

This workbook and related DVD are a complete tutorial for basic conducting technique as taught and demonstrated by two of America’s master teachers and conductors.
