Summary

The Listening Conductor explores one of the most important aspects of choral training and development—the power of listening. Why do we need to listen in rehearsals? How do we develop and improve our listening? How does focussed listening impact on choral development? How does actively listening to a choir provide conductors with creative opportunities to improve ensemble?

Written in response to choral training and workshop events and as part of a highly competitive assistant conductor development program, The Listening Conductor is full of unique exercises, hints, and tips for vocal coaches and conductors. It aims not only to be a reference support to conductors of singing ensembles of all ages, sizes, genders, and affiliations but to be the "go-to" book on the one discipline that all conductors of voices explore and use at every rehearsal.

Coupled with a companion podcast.

Fascinating for singers too!

As a singer in a couple of amateur choirs this book not only gives an insight into the amount of preparation our conductors do but also how much concentration leading a rehearsal takes. As rehearsals/concerts are a partnership between the singers and the conductor it has also made me more aware of my own responsibilities in the whole process (whilst still be able to enjoy the social side of choral singer which is such a big part of belonging to a choir). A fascinating listen and would recommend to singers who want to more involved in their ensembles and get the most out of the rehearsal process.
