When explaining complex or abstract topics, it is often helpful to represent them visually. Creating a chart or table not only simplifies the concept, but also helps the student retain the information. These tables, like Conducting Patterns, Seating Arrangements and Ranges of All Winds, Strings & Voices, will help illustrate abstract terms and will supplement definitions with concrete examples, making learning simple.

This unique paperback was researched and compiled by William F. Lee III, a highly respected educator, composer, conductor, performer, author, editor arranger and administrator as the former Dean of the University of Miami’s School of Music. Dr. Lee’s commitment to music education goes beyond his university endeavors, it manifests itself in every aspect of his life.
