A definitive mid-century guide to the art and technical demands of choral instruction in an academic setting. Voice-Training and Conducting in Schools by the distinguished conductor Reginald Jacques serves as a masterclass in the practical aspects of musical leadership. Drawing on his extensive experience as a choral and orchestral director—including his tenure with the Bach Choir—Jacques addresses the core challenges of school music programs, ranging from the fundamental mechanics of breath control and articulation to the broader artistic responsibilities of the conductor. The work is highly regarded for its focus on cultivating vocal tone and musicianship within a young ensemble. Rather than merely presenting abstract theory, Jacques provides a clear, methodical approach to the pedagogical hurdles faced by teachers of class-singing. As a key text from the Oxford University Press music series, it remains a valuable artifact for educators interested in the history of music pedagogy and for conductors seeking insight into the classical methods of the mid-20th century.
