ABSTRACT
As you study Chapter 2, practice the basic conducting patterns of 3, 4, 2, and 1 as diagramed in Figure 2.4 and styles of preparatory beats in Figure 2.5. (See also Video 2-1.) Your goal is to conduct a clear and consistent beat pattern within a steady and appropriate tempo. Your conducting should also convey to musicians the dynamic level and style of each excerpt. Use a music dictionary to define and apply all music terms in foreign languages found in the excerpts to guide interpretation and expression. The Glossary, Appendix G, provides a quick reference. https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-u.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315621593/68c3adb8-e86c-415a-9094-f3591386aef8/content/ifig0001.jpg"/>
