App for conducting technique
In 2023 I made an app for iPhone and Android to conducting technique. It is intended for anyone who leads a choir or an orchestra and is suitable for both beginners and advanced musicians. You will learn the beating patterns for the different time signatures and learn to use the left hand to indicate musical matters like cuing and cutting off. Moreover, you will learn to show the right kind of rebounce in your movements, because the patterns are shown as animation, rather than as pictures. More information on the app can be found here.
New book
Recently, my first English book was published. It’s called Harmonic Warm-Ups and it’s filled with choral exercises with multiple parts, which are very easy to learn, but at the same time are fairly interesting to perform. The book is published by Alfred Publishing and can be bought for example on their website and Singers.com.
Conducting
In 2022, my book Choral Conducting Technique was published at Alfred Publishing.
