Beach Reading for Band Directors! Friday, June 17, 2011
 In between the latest Tom Clancy book and the Harry Potter novel you’re reading this summer, there is a new book from Meredith Publications that is well worth your time.
By seasoned music educator, author and clinician Gary Stith, SCORE REHEARSAL PREPARATION is a wonderful “quick read”
that will help focus and tune up your score preparation. This text is sure to provide the most practical approach to orchestra and wind band score study ever published. It methodically simplifies preliminary score study and initial rehearsal preparation for all conductors of band, orchestra and chamber ensembles. It is enormously valuable for practicing conductors from elementary school to those leading professional ensembles. As a supplement to undergraduate and graduate level instrumental conducting classes, it is an extremely effective text.
Don’t forget to reapply your sunblock!
