Volume Two  builds on the principles established in Volume One.  The aim is to increase the fluency of your technique so that you are free to express your musical intentions and convey them clearly to an instrumental or vocal ensemble.  The more advanced techniques shown here are:

  •        Varied forms of accents and pauses

  •        Influencing the texture and dynamic, and effecting rubato with the baton

  •        Larger body movements
