Composing & Orchestration — Pack One: For Beginners

Six sheets to print, write on and take to a first rehearsal — the four families of the orchestra, seating, conducting patterns, what the conductor is doing, the circle of fifths, and how to join an ensemble.

What's inside

• The four families of the orchestra — who is in the orchestra
• Seating the orchestra — the platform plan
• Conducting patterns for the common time signatures
• What the conductor is doing with each hand, the eyes and the body
• The circle of fifths
• Joining an ensemble or sinfonia
