I've been a musician all my life, and of course been directed by many. Though I've directed choirs in the past, I've never held a baton in front of an assemblage of musicians. Out of many books on learning the art, Green's was suggested as the one I should choose. It is written in the form of a textbook, with plenty of discussion on the basics of keeping time and dynamics, diagrams, and excerpts of musical scores as examples of various concepts. I can already see Green's style in one of the band's conductors, and I'm looking forward to taking the podium in front of the orchestra."; 6Th Edition Series; 9.6 X 7.2 X 0.8 inches; 286 pages.
