Reviews for Basic Techniques of Conducting
"Finally
a reasonable beginning textbook. Logical progression of skills. Paced beautifully. Visually laid out well. Good choices for examples. Instrumental and vocal parts a real plus."
Carol Dunevant, Northern Kentucky University "Clear, precise, 'hands-on' approach; nice to have examples in both choral and instrumental format."
Cherilee Wadsworth Walker, East Central University, OK "Wonderful textbook for a first semester beginning conducting class. As with all of K. Phillip's work, every aspect of the book is meticulously well planned and organized and thoughtfully explained. Examples are thoroughly coordinated with the text and appropriately varied."
Vance D. Wolverton, California State University-Fullerton "Very basic, thorough, comprehensive, and well organized. An excellent introductory text."
Will Schwartz, Colorado State University "Organized in a step-by-step manner and easily understood. I appreciate the variety of musical examples, terms, and skills needed at each level of conducting. This is the first book I feel is practical to use."
Charles L. Yingling, Southwestern College, Kansas "Very thorough. The examples are clear and comprehensible at a glance. The evaluation forms are useful."
Robert W. Peck, Louisiana Tech University "Superb effort by Dr. Phillips. He is a consummate educator with practical approaches to the essential skills of conducting. His pedagogy is most sound and the pacing/sequencing of this method is right on target for undergraduate beginning conductors. I congratulate him on another successful publication."

John F. Warren, University of Miami "Excellent organization; love the instrumental parts (transposition) for examples; great evaluation sheets."
