Dr. Glenn D. Price is recognized as one of the leading international conductors of today.

"GIA Publications has been at the forefront of producing resource material for musical instruction, particularly in the areas of instrumental music education and church music. The Eloquent Conductor effectively bridges the understanding of conducting gestures with its carefully aligned text and DVD presentations; it is uniquely positioned to accomplish its aim to be used for both individual and classroom use. GIA is to be commended for its efforts to bring a more comprehensive text on instrumental conducting to the field." - James Ripley WASBE World, March 2016

"Dr. Price has made a thorough pedagogical study of the art and craft of conducting and directing, and draws on his vast experience from studying and working in Canada, USA, Russia and Japan, synthesising all of these influences into a thoroughly clear and cogent method of teaching, tried and tested over many years. He has conducted world-wide, in Canada, North and South America, Europe and Australasia. This is incredible value. The Main Text has 224 pages with a DVD, the Repertoire Edition 338 pages with a repertoire CD of the 69 repertoire excerpts, the two volumes closely co-related. A quick precis of subject headings will give you an idea of the vast amount of material covered." - Dr. Tim Reynish, July 2016
