THE CONDUCTOR
AS PRISM
e Power of Metaphor
in Artistry
James Jordan. Through his teaching
at The Choral Institute at Oxford each
summer, James Jordan has realized
the power of metaphor for teaching the
highest artistic concepts involving human
connection and deeper listening. In this
book, Jordan uses powerful and effective
metaphors as a guide to help conductors
engage the most profound concepts
of artistry in music - concepts that are
often elusive to teach or learn. These
metaphors can be effective doorways to
understanding our role as artist teacher/
conductors in new and vibrant ways.
Areas explored include listening, breath,
sense of belonging, generosity, self-
realization, honesty, and more. A must
read for all choral directors.
