The success of a performance hinges on the director's ability to keep the group playing together and interpreting the music as the composer intended. The Complete Idiot's Guide to Conducting Music shows student and novice conductors how to lead bands, orchestras, choirs, and other ensembles effectively through sight-reading, rehearsals, and performances.

I really am a complete idiot when it comes to conducting. This book was very helpful for me this summer, as I am preparing for my first year as a band director. I found the accompanying videos especially helpful.
