| Abstract | What's more important for a musician: technical prowess or musical expressiveness? In this book, author Bobby Adams makes a compelling case for musical interpretation above technique--and provides a road map for band directors and players hoping to develop and implement a better culture of musical expression. Ultimately, Adams states that expressive musicianship is a learned skill. With this book, he draws from a lifetime of experience to provide the tools for conductors to help their players to be truly artistic, both individually and within the ensemble. |
