Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Abraham Kaplan has created a brilliant and practical textbook for choral conducting teachers and students on the college or conservatory level. His manual allows the instructor to cover every aspect of conducting and rehearsal techniques while giving the student regular opportunities to conduct in the classroom. Following many of the exercises is a list of choral selections from the standard repertoire which the neophyte conductor may use to practice a particular technical problem within a musical context.
Conducting patterns -- Score, voice, warm-up, and intonation -- Tempo fluctuation, left hand -- More about conducting patterns -- Diction -- Starting between beats -- Discipline -- The pattern of 6 -- Chorus with accompaniment -- The pattern of 5 -- Subdivision, the patterns of 12 and 9 -- Dynamics -- Tempo changes, articulations, and the pattern of one -- Meters with unequal beats -- Goals.
