NEW A media disc with full scores, individual parts, transpositions, and audio examples; expanded instructions that precede the excerpts and °"Mastery" section to challenge and evaluate the student.

This media disc may be packaged with the text at no additional charge. Individual and transposed parts for musical excerpts in Part III can be downloaded from the media disc that accompanies this edition. Transposed parts minimize music reading errors and save rehearsal time in classes of mixed instrumentation. Expanded in this edition are the specific instructions that precede the excerpts in each chapter in Part III. These instructions emphasize the specific techniques and leadership skills to be learned in each chapter.

The "Mastery" section contains some of the longer and more complete excerpts which are meant to challenge the students.
