The Orchestral Conductor’s Career Handbook takes readers through the step-by-step process of establishing a career in orchestral conducting. Through his experiences with professional, pops, conservatory, community, youth, summer festival, opera and ballet orchestras, Topilow provides practical tips for conductors of any orchestra type and at any level of their development. Filled with personal stories from Topilow’s career, the handbook provides insights on an array of topics, including applying for conducting programs and conducting positions, connecting with audiences, developing interpersonal relations within the orchestra family, starting your own orchestra, interacting with donors, and beyond.

Excerpt from A Handbook of Orchestration The paramount need in music teaching at the present time is the training of students as listeners. In order to listen intelligently one must understand the language that is spoken. The principal language of the music of to-day is that of the Orchestra. An intimate knowledge of the grammar of orchestration is, then, the necessary technical equipment of the intelligent listener. The best way to attain this knowledge is by writing orchestral scores, which should in no case be original composition, for one cannot learn the grammar of a language and write poetry in it simultaneously. Twenty years experience of teaching orchestration on these lines by orchestrating piano-music already in existence, without reference to other branches of musical theory - has convinced me that good listeners can be produced in this way; and that all students, particularly singers and pianists, can be aided thereby towards sound musicianship. Incidentally, if a student is at the same time working through the ordinary academic routine of musical theory which results in composition, by the time he arrives at that goal he has already at hand the technical knowledge of the Orchestra which enables him to transcribe his ideas directly to the Full Score.
