Conducting and Rehearsing the Instrumental Music Ensemble
"The most comprehensive guide on the rehearsal process for conducting instrumental music ensembles. This work breaks the multidimensional activity of working with an ensemble, orchestra, or band into its constituent components"--from publisher description.
Concert Ensembles for Everyone
There are many, many band collections in print that allow the director to use "mix and match" instrumentation to fit a particular ensemble. However, the existing publications are at the Grade 1 or 2 levels, so they do not address the needs of students from small high schools (or from fledgling programs) where there might only be ten to fifteen band members, but each one of them is capable of playing Grade 3-4 music. "Concert Ensembles for Everyone" is specifically designed to fill this need. In "Concert Ensembles," Peter Blair uses a unique "overlapping" method of arranging, so all the necessary parts can be covered by a wide variety of possible ensemble instrumentations. There are four overlapping woodwind parts, four overlapping brass parts, a bass part that may be played by any instrument that reads (or sounds) in the bass clef, and percussion.
How to Create a Successful Music Ensemble
Here, for the first time, is the definitive practical guide to setting up a choral or instrumental ensemble and running it effectively. Aimed at experienced solo musicians, this book illustrates how to harness individual skills to build an exciting and creative group dynamic. Every aspect of performing together is covered, from choosing repertoire and arranging the music to devising innovative rehearsal techniques, all leading to that successful final performance. Both a step-by-step ‘how to’ book, and a comprehensive reference resource, How To Create a Successful Music Ensemble features the insights of several experienced musical directors and covers topics like practicalities, publicity and conducting techniques. Additional resources can be found on the book’s companion website, including audio files of the music in the book and an original arrangement.
Musical Ecologies
Community music around the world reflects the growing and diverse ways humans collectivise and express themselves in ways that articulate our cultural, social, and environmental complexity. Revisiting, redevising, and reimagining some of the field’s approaches, ideologies, and contexts, this co-edited volume investigates beyond generalist intercultural and internationalist concepts to reveal the complexity of social ways people come together to make music and to making music be central to this sociality. The authors explore the role community music plays out around the world and how various instrumentally based music-making communities operate as ecologies that allow notions of social, pol...
Vocal, Instrumental, and Ensemble Learning and Teaching
Vocal, Instrumental, and Ensemble Learning and Teaching is one of five paperback books derived from the foundational two-volume Oxford Handbook of Music Education. Designed for music teachers, students, and scholars of music education, as well as educational administrators and policy makers, this third volume in the set emphasizes the types of active musical attributes that are acquired when learning an instrument or to sing, together with how these skills can be used when engaging musically with others. These chapters shed light on how the field of voice instruction has changed dramatically in recent decades and how physiological, acoustical, biomechanical, neuromuscular, and psychological ...
