Its purpose is to help students master the nuanced gestures and techniques necessary for effective musical leadership. The book is structured into multiple chapters that cover various facets of conducting. It begins with an overview of the evolution of conducting and continues to explore the physical movements involved in effective baton technique. Stoessel explains the importance of gestures, rhythm, and control while conducting orchestras and choirs, emphasizing that a conductor’s motions serve as a form of communication with musicians. Exercises for improving physical dexterity and coordination are provided alongside diagrams and examples from musical scores to illustrate his points. Ultimately, the handbook is designed to instill a thorough understanding of conducting for both orchestral and choral settings, highlighting the vital role of the conductor in achieving a cohesive performance.
