Movement is at the core of conducting and Rudolf Laban (1879–1958) is considered perhaps the most influential scholar of human movement. His ideas have shaped the practice of dancers for generations but are significantly less known among conductors. This concise book is a thoughtful and practical introduction to Laban’s life and theories, perfect for conductors seeking to better connect their understanding of a musical score to their actions on the podium. -- Publisher.

Expressive Conducting: Movement and Performance Theory for Conductors applies the insight of movement and performance theory to the practice of conducting, offering a groundbreaking new approach to conducting. Where traditional conducting pedagogies often place emphasis on training parts of the body in isolation, Expressive Conducting teaches conductors to understand their gestures as part of an interconnected system that incorporates the whole body. Rather than emphasizing learning specific patterns and gestures, this book enables student and professional conductors to develop a conducting technique that is centered around expressing the themes of the music. Drawing parallels to the worlds of acting, this text treats the body as the conductor’s instrument. Coaching notes derived from years of experience as a performance movement specialist offer readers approachable methods for eliminating communication barriers—both conscious and subconscious—to encourage optimal performance, highlighting acting theory, movement exercises and the significance of weight distribution. Unlike other conducting approaches, this text understands that conducting resonates throughout the entire body and is not conveyed by the hands or baton alone. With a comprehensive consideration of the conductor’s body and movements, featuring over 50 original illustrations, Expressive Conducting advances strategies for improving one’s conducting skills in rehearsal and performance. Jerald Schwiebert has developed a practical language for expressive conducting. Together, Schwiebert and Barr present a text that is suitable for conducting students, instructors, and professionals alike.

What does it mean to be expressive in music performance across diverse historical and cultural domains? What are the means at the disposal of a performer in various time periods and musical practice conventions? What are the conceptualisations of expression and the roles of performers that shape expressive performance? This book brings together research from a range of disciplines that use diverse methodologies to provide new perspectives and formulate answers to these questions about the meaning, means, and contextualisation of expressive performance in music. The contributors to this book explore expressiveness in music performance in four interlinked parts. Starting with the philosophical and historical underpinnings crucially relevant for Western classical musical performance it then reaches out to cross-cultural issues and finally focuses the attention on various specific problems, including the teaching of expressive music performance skills. The overviews provide a focussed and comprehensive account of the current state of research as well as new developments and a prospective of future directions. This is a valuable new book for those in the fields of music, music psychology, and music education.

The first purpose of this study was to provide an overview of experimental and descriptive research lines within the field of conducting. The findings of this literature search reflect the tremendous growth of inquiries and findings since the 1970's (Ostling, 1976). Research studies were broadly categorized into two overarching themes: conducting competencies and conducting pedagogy. Lines within conducting competencies included: 1) nonverbal communication, 2) perception studies, and 3) teacher/conductor effectiveness. Conducting pedagogy revealed studies in 1) methodology, 2) physical/aural skill development, and 3) conducting technology. The second purpose of this study was to examine the effect of conducting on ensemble performance through the meta-analytic techniques of "best-evidence synthesis." Developed by Robert Slavin (1986), this process compares similar studies through the common statistical metric of effect size. Results can then be discussed for practical applications in the relative terms of small effect size: d = .2; medium effect size: d = .5; and large effect size: d = .8 (Cohen, 1977). Twenty-three studies, divided into five categories, met the inclusion criteria. Results from studies examining expressive versus nonexpressive conducting on the impact of ensemble sound were mixed. While some research suggested that expressive conducting only influences listener perceptions, other research indicated that specific conducting gestures do, in fact, shape the sound of an ensemble. Results also suggested a positive and large effect size in the area of conducting-gesture instruction with young ensembles. Other studies examined the effect of conducting in combination with verbal and modeling rehearsal techniques. Conducting gestures were effective, but only within a combination of other rehearsal techniques, suggesting that many skills define conductor competencies. Lastly, studies were examined to explore the synchronization between conductor and ensemble members. Results suggest that musicians with previous conducting experience maintain steadier tempi while following a conductor than musicians without conducting training.

The purpose of this study was to examine undergraduate ensemble musicians' perceptions of the function of facial expression in conducting. The primary research question was: (1) What are undergraduate ensemble members' perceptions of the function of facial expression in conducting when presented with video-only clips of conductors' facial expressions? Additional research questions were: (2) Are there differences in the perceptions of facial expression function between choral ensemble members and instrumental ensemble members? (3) How do undergraduate ensemble members perceive the importance of conductor facial expression in rehearsal and performance?Experienced choral conductors (N = 4) made stimulus video recordings of 5 facial expression functions defined through previous research: Expressive, Positive Feedback, Negative Feedback, Modeling, and Neutrality (the lack of expression). The conductors created each of the five targeted facial expressions over 12 beats that began and ended with no expression. The conductors recorded each facial expression were three times. Audio stimuli were not a part of the creation or presentation of the final videos. Experienced choral conductors (N = 5) evaluated the intensity of the video on a 10-point scale. The final phase of the study utilized the 20 videos rated most intense for each condition and each conductor. Undergraduate ensemble musicians (N =120) from two ensemble disciplines- choral (n = 60) and instrumental (n = 60), viewed each video and manipulated sliders on a 10-point scale to indicate their perception of the presence of the five targeted facial expression functions in each video. Statistical analysis revealed significant main effects for function, conductor, and presentation order. Participants perceived the Modeling and Expressive functions as having the highest mean intensity, while the Neutrality condition had the lowest mean intensity ratings. Statistical analysis also revealed significant interactions between conductor and function; presentation order and function; presentation order and conductor; and presentation order, function, and conductor. An analysis of participants' scores in relation to the intended function of the stimulus video revealed that participants perceived the intended function correctly for 95.40% of Neutrality responses, 67.70% of Negative Feedback responses, 65.20% of Expressive responses, 58.30% of Positive Feedback responses, and 42.70% of Modeling responses. A general survey of participants' perceptions of the importance of facial expression on a 10-point scale in three conditions indicated that participants perceived the Expressive function as most important (M = 7.97, SD = 1.29), followed by Feedback (M = 7.70, SD = 1.60) and Overall (M = 7.28, SD = 1.45). Participants (N = 85) offered their perceptions of facial expression in rehearsal and performance in two Free-Response opportunities. Data indicated stronger perceptions of Positive Feedback (55.95%) and Negative Feedback (54.76%) facial expressions in rehearsal. The strongest perceptions of performance facial expression were in the Expressive function (44.71%) with lesser emphasis on the Feedback function and other functions related to remembering ideas from rehearsal and being engaged and excited by the conductor's facial expressions. The findings of the present study suggest that facial expression does have multiple functions and ensemble musicians can perceive those functions. The effects of presentation order on these perceptions suggests that conductor facial expressions are context dependent and individualized, while still being recognizable enough for participants to successfully perceive them as differing from neutrality and to perceive both a primary function and a blend of other functions. Data suggests that undergraduate ensemble musicians perceived the Expressive function and the Positive/Negative Feedback functions as being of the most importance in rehearsal, performance, and the overall art of conducting. Future research in this area could expand the present study with conductors and ensemble musicians of different musical disciplines, ages, musical experience, and the use of audio stimuli, as well as implications for pedagogical strategies to increase conductor facility with the use of facial expression in conducting.
