DESCRIPTION:
This is a book to come back to again and again, as much a valuable reference as an excellent and interesting read.". "The book is packed with useful charts and diagrams, and Battisti intersperses his expertise with thoughts and suggestions from other experts in the field
(Meredith Music Resource). "This text is a 'must have' for all serious musicians. This is what can happen when a focused and inquisitive mind meets up with a uniquely creative imagination." Eugene Migliaro Corporon, Director of Wind Studies, College of Music University of North Texas Click here for a YouTube video on On Becoming a Conductor. This incredible book by one of the world's foremost authorities on conducting contains no conducting patterns, and no advice on how to conduct any piece. It captures the legacy and wisdom of one of the most important conductors of our time. Instead, it focuses on the skills, knowledge and experiences needed to become and function as a conductor-teacher
Five Stars Terrific book!. JazzyToaster said Great Insights, Although Unoriginal. This book contains outstanding points of reflection for the aspiring conductor coupled with great readings from some of the most famous conductors and musicians ever, coupled with fantastic selections from some writers I had never heard of. However, I rate this book four stars because I bought it expect. An excellent learning tool! I got this book and the battisti/gorafalo on reccomendation of my instrumental conducting professor. It's a great book. There's so much to gain from it, especially for a beginner. It's a great reference. You won't find pattern, but you will find philosophy and mindsets, tips, etc to conductors and band
