Description

In the tradition of horse whisperers, dog whisperers, and baby whisperers who calm and otherwise transform their charges, The Band Whisperer examines how technique and aesthetics combine to move musicians and their audiences by employing common-sense teaching tools developed by David Morrison. This method helps band directors, with all ranges of experience and expertise, continue to improve their art in the development of intonation, ensemble tone, rhythmic accuracy, and to balance articulation, technique, and musicianship. However, having the tools is not sufficient for success. The real key is using personal intuition—whispering—to effectively wield those tools.
