School Music Teacher)Paul D. Everts. How
do you conduct your life? Carefully? Cautiously?
Courageously? You have one opportunity to conduct

n Conducting Technique Etudes (Laban-Based
Etudes for Class or Individual Practice)
James Jordan. In this volume of etudes for
conductors, James Jordan details a groundbreaking
pedagogy for the development of conducting skills.
This method is based on a sequential harmonic
process to inform and define conducting gesture.
This book is revolutionary because it employs a
process of score study to develop what Dr. Jordan
calls "kinesthetic/harmonic audiation." Conductors
of all skill levels will profoundly benefit from these
new ideas. While instrumentalists and keyboardists
for decades have had books of daily "etudes"
for the development of technique, conducting
pedagogy has not had the benefit of such a rigorous
technical course of study.
