The Conductor's Toolbox—Richard Sparks.
What do coaches, master teachers, and
educational psychologists have to teach us about
conducting? As it turns out, quite a bit! In this
concise yet insightful volume, Richard Sparks draws
from years of experience in the professional choral
world and from his time teaching at two leading
universities to help choral conductors transform
their craft and create truly artful experiences. He
gains inspiration from legendary college basketball
coach John Wooden and shares striking and
refreshing parallels between coaching sports teams
and conducting music ensembles. Sparks draws
equally from research in the fields of teaching and
the psychology of learning and their application to
teaching music. Just as an artisan builds a set of
skills and learns the tools of the trade, conductors
too must build a box of tools to help them learn,
understand, and interpret music, lead rehearsals,
and conduct. Highlights include: assessing yourself
and your choir; using modeling; developing good
habits in yourself and your choir; learning and
teaching new skills; rehearsing more efficiently;
teaching fundamental elements of music; selecting
repertoire that improves your choir's skills;
improving your planning and pacing of rehearsals.
This book is for the young conductor starting out
who wants to build a truly solid craft. It is also for the
experienced conductor who wonders how to move
to the next level, re-energize, and grow.
