ABSTRACT
This chapter develops a basic rehearsal strategy and presents some specific suggestions to help you rehearse efficiently and effectively. Rehearsing is a conductor’s most important job. Here, your score study and baton technique serve as the means to achieve an expressive, unified performance from the performing group. Having attained an aural concept of the score, and being in a position to listen to the whole while the musicians are intent on their parts, it is your job to progressively detect and eliminate errors until you reach the desired interpretation.
