Baton Basics offers a unique approach to teaching conducting based upon the concept of conveying weight; resistance; and energy in order to communicate a better concept of musical sound to the musicians. Featuring many detailed drawings and access to over 60 video examples on the companion website; Baton Basics guides conductors away from simply marking beat patterns; and towards a nuanced and phrased musicality that can be communicated to a group of musicians. Baton Basics is a key foundational text for the student and experienced conductor alike; and is a must read for anyone interested in improving and expanding their vocabulary of conducting gestures.
