"On the Principles and Practice of Conducting" is a practical manual for anyone who stands on a podium helping an ensemble make music. The four main chapters address the major obligations of the conductor: (1) bringing the musical tones to life in the most beautiful, most moving way possible; (2) freeing the mind to fully absorb all the tones; (3) freeing the body of unnecessary tension; and (4) effectively using the freed mind and body to influence the sounds. Each chapter begins with a summary of the underlying principles, presents real-life applications, and offers exercises for developing skills.

Video demonstrations of the exercises as well as downloadable scores and parts are available on a companion website. The parts, in multiple transpositions, allow for hands-on experience where standard instrumental complements are unavailable.

"What distinguishes Markand Thakar as a conductor and a teacher is the unique balance he achieves between the technical and the emotional contents of music, and the ability to communicate that balance to both audiences and students. It is that quality that runs throughout this book, and it is that quality that makes this book both different from others and extraordinarily valuable" (Henry Fogel, dean, Chicago College of Performing Arts, Roosevelt University)

"With insight into into how mind and body contribute effectively, On the Principles and Practice of Conducting offers a fresh and highly detailed approach to successful music-making from the podium. The online video demonstrations clearly solve a multitude of technical issues confronting conductors. A must read for all students of conducting!" (David Effron, Professor of Orchestral Conducting, Jacobs School of Music, Indiana University)
