About this book
Karl Wilson Gehrkens, who taught school music at Oberlin Conservatory, wrote this handbook for the amateur conductor. Sixteen chapters move from the personal traits a conductor needs and the technique of the baton to interpretation, taken through tempo, dynamics, timbre and phrasing. Later chapters deal with particular posts: the school music supervisor, the community chorus, the orchestra, the church choir and the boy choir.
Voice training, program making, working with an accompanist and running an efficient rehearsal follow. Gehrkens drew the advice from about twelve years of watching well-known American conductors. An appendix prints the score of a Haydn symphony movement.
