Music Department
Conducting: Music 335 & 337
Dr. Peter LaRue

The Text, The Handouts and other Course Needs:

For Music 335 & Music 337 the same text and many of the same materials will be utilized. The Labuta text is designed for use as a one, two, three or four semester course of study - and indeed may be used as a life-long resource. The Handouts which are now an integral part of the Conducting World Web-Site will find their way into both courses. Some of the Handouts will be utilized in both courses - some one - some the other - but in a web format - they are readily available no matter the class.
