Score And Rehearsal Preparation Book

This book offers a practical approach to orchestra and wind band score study, making preliminary score study and initial rehearsal preparation more accessible for conductors at all levels, from elementary school to professional ensembles.

A compositional flowchart of the Vaughan Williams work is also provided, along with a reproducible Score and Rehearsal Preparation Worksheet that can be used with any score.

Additionally, the book features seating arrangement diagrams of renowned wind bands and orchestras, a comprehensive glossary of standard instrument abbreviations, a reference chart for standard band and orchestra instrumentation, and a selective bibliography for further reading on instrumental score preparation. 96 pages.
