"John Watkins has used his years of experience on both sides of the baton to create a charming introduction to the art of conducting. There are not many reference books that deal with the 'how to' of directing a group of musicians. This practical guide to conducting wisely stays away from musical theory and concentrates on how to communicate with musicians from base amateur to seasoned professional.This is a must for a newly aspiring conductor, and an experienced conductor could very well use this as a refresher."
-John Tozer, music director, Scarborough, Ontario

An invaluable reference guide for musicians of all types, "The Art of the Conductor" contains clear and detailed descriptions of universally accepted techniques used by the world's best and most successful music conductors.

Classically trained musician and conductor John J. Watkins discusses the evolution of conducting technique and how it relates to various forms of music, and he outlines the wide array of skills conductors need today. He also explains the finer points of technique and control, including beat patterns and signals, tempo changes, and using the left hand, to make the conducting experience as rewarding as possible.

"The Art of the Conductor" will help conductors, choristers, and instrumentalists build their skills and confidence for more relaxed, enjoyable, and polished performances that audiences will love.
