This book outlines Lawrence Golan's renowned, thorough and systematic approach to preparing scores for rehearsal and performance. It describes, step by step, the process through which he studies scores and includes not only the how, but also the why for each step. This approach, and the explanation thereof, may be used for preparing to conduct musical scores of any type, from Baroque to Contemporary, Classical to Pops and Orchestral to Opera. In addition, it is a very effective tool for the teaching of conducting.
