In the early seventeenth century, enthusiasm for the violin swept
across Europe-this was an instrument capable of bewitching
virtuosity, with the power to express emotions in a way only before
achieved with the human voice. With this new guide to the Baroque
violin, and its close cousin, the Baroque viola, distinguished
performer and pedagogue Walter Reiter puts this power into the
hands of today's players. Through fifty lessons based on the
Reiter's own highly-renowned course at The Royal Conservatory of
the Hague, The Baroque Violin & Viola, Volume II provides a
comprehensive exploration of the period's rich and varied
repertoire. The lessons in Volume II cover the early
seventeenth-century Italian sonata, music of the French Baroque,
the Galant style, and the sonatas of composers like Schmelzer,
Biber, and Bach. Practical exercises are integrated into each
lesson, and accompanied by rich video demonstrations on the book's
companion website. Brought to life by Reiter's deep insight into
key repertoire based on a lifetime of playing and teaching, The
Baroque Violin & Viola, Volume II: A Fifty-Lesson Course will
enhance performances of professional and amateur musicians alike.

Conducting is not simply the act of marking beats; it is the much
more rich art of communicating emotion, character, and mood through
movement to a large group of performers in order to inspire them to
create music together. Baton Basics is based on the premise that
the most effective and musical forms of conducting are about
conveying energy, and that doing so is a fundamentally physical
activity. In Baton Basics, conductor Diane Wittry offers a unique
approach to teaching conducting through familiar gestures: weight,
resistance, and energy, combined with size, beat placement. The end
goal is the ability to communicate a better concept of musical
sound to the musicians. Wittry demonstrates how conductors can
communicate through gestures, by training the muscles of their
fingers, hands, wrists, forearms, and full arms. She also provides
techniques for releasing body tension, improving posture, and
developing a deeper sense of calm on the podium through overall
body and breathing exercises. Additionally, she guides the reader
on an exploration of the concepts and diagrams of the Musin and
Saito conducting methods, and providing innovative suggestions on
how to best incorporate these other styles into his or her own
technique.
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 must for anyone interested
in improving and expanding their vocabulary of conducting gestures.

This book of parent-to-parent advice aims to encourage, support,
and bolster the morale of one of music's most important back-up
sections: music parents. Within these pages, more than 150 veteran
music parents contribute their experiences, reflections, warnings,
and helpful suggestions for how to walk the music-parenting
tightrope: how to be supportive but not overbearing, and how to
encourage excellence without becoming bogged down in frustration.
Among those offering advice are the parents of several top
musicians, including the mother of violinist Joshua Bell, the
father of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, the parents of cellist Alisa
Weilerstein, and those of violinist Anne Akiko Meyers. The book
also features advice from music educators and more than forty
professional musicians, including Paula Robison, Sarah Chang,
Anthony McGill, Jennifer Koh, Jonathan Biss, Toyin Spellman-Diaz,
Marin Alsop, Christian McBride, Miguel Zenon, Stephanie Blythe,
Lawrence Brownlee, and Kelli O'Hara. The topics they discuss span a
wide range of issues faced by the parents of both instrumentalists
and singers, from how to get started to encouraging effective
practice habits, to how to weather the rough spots, cope with the
cost of music training, deal with college and career concerns, and
help young musicians discover the role that music can play in their
lives. The parents who speak here reach a unanimous and
overwhelming conclusion that music parenting is well worth the
effort, and the experiences that come with it - everything from
flying to New York on the weekends to searching a flute convention
for the perfect instrument - enrich family life with a unique joy
in music.
