This book is designed to stimulate imagery skills by focusing on the creative process that comes before the musician plays their first note.   The Nowak concepts will help your ensemble to play off of each other's expressive playing to create a more musical performance.   The series focuses on: support breathing, ensemble tuning, meter, phrasing, articulation, time, expressive dynamics, melodic phrasing, repetition, balance and more! The teacher's manual contains background material for the study and presentation of each chapter, with all examples printed in conductor score format.  In addition, the teacher will find conducting and rehearsal suggestions for many of the examples.  Also included are the student pages with examples as in the other books in this series. The teacher's manual also includes demonstration CD.
