About the book

GIA's score reading program teaches the vital skills of conducting: the ability to analyze scores and then detect errors in performance. Performances of a diverse selection of music are recorded on a CD with errors built in. Students listen to the performance and evaluate the tempo, balance, tone quality, and intonation (among other characteristics) of the performance. They must consider stylistic as well as harmonic relationships. Students compare their analysis to those of a panel of experts. Next they will hear a taped "acceptable" performance of the excerpt. The primary purposes of The Choral Score Reading Program are: (1) to develop skills in analyzing a choral score and (2) to develop skills in detecting errors in choral ensemble performance. - Publisher.
