made my professional life much easier! The illustrations are great-and
each picture 'being worth a thousand words,' enhances the written explanations."
"...there is a great deal of the old fundamentals of playing percussion
instruments that many of the new band leaders should study."

The Interpretive Wind Band Conductor will help conductors make the
creative leap from simply reading notes to insightful musical
interpretation. In additional to a long list of topics on conducting
and interpretation, it includes in-depth analysis of 6 masterworks for
band and provides solutions for conducting irregular and non-metrical
problems inherent in contemporary music.

composer/performer and historically significant mallet soloist. This
set includes program notes and composer biography. These five pieces,
Mallets Ala Zurke, Rag Doll Rag, Temptation Revamp, Waltz in Ragtime
and Joplin on Wood, are fun to play, fun to listen to and will surely
add to any concert or recital program as well as repertoire for solo
performances of any nature. Includes a CD recording of Harry Breuer
playing each piece with piano accompaniment.
This incredible book by one of the world’s foremost authorities on
conducting contains no conducting patterns, no advice on how to conduct
any piece. Instead, it focuses on the skills, knowledge and
experiences needed to become and function as a conductor-teacher. It
will surely become the standard text for all those serious about the
art of conducting.

pieces to play. The techniques required are rudimentary and the
instruments are usually available to the beginning band director.

welcome. Notes to the instructor include all the information necessary
for the non-percussionist instructor to teach these pieces that are
written from the unique percussionist’s perspective, where students are

foundation for the support of music in the schools. From philosophy to
practicality, this book has it all!
