'Teaching Music From The Podium'

by Dr. Martin Hardy

 

The aim of this new book by Dr. Martin Hardy is to provide instrumental directors, instrumental tutors and instrumentalists with numerous activities to learn, educate and further enhance their musical knowledge. Practical warm ups and exercises relating to six musical concepts Pitch; Duration; Dynamics and Expressive Techniques; Tone Colour; Texture and Structure are explored. The exercises and warms ups presented, consist of the very basic through to the most advanced, thus catering for all ensemble and player levels. The book also features five ‘Textural and Structural Warm Ups’ for Brass Band Concert Band and Orchestra. 

‘Teaching Music From the Podium’ focuses on education of the musician in a practical sense and not necessarily on conducting pedagogy yet it does expect a basic understanding of conducting.
