Uh...

Das lernt ein Student im ersten Semester seiner Lehrerausbildung für SEK I - aber man hat wenigstens etwas zu lachen

[sstuddert]

the funny thing is, watch people like Karajan, Rattle and Bernstein - they don't even keep the beat all the time because it's not always needed with a competent orchestra.

OMG, I can't be nice about this. You really need to stop conducting. You suck at it, so stop trying!!!

i want to see you conduct a piece. i'm pretty sure it'd be hilarious.

@MillofPWN Ummm....are you serious? Have you seen some of the top conductors in the industry? Their conducting strokes are not all the same size at all....

This guy makes me laugh. "Now we're going to demonstrate getting softer." He says. How many of you didn't know that getting softer was decrescendoing, honestly? If you're watching this, then it's more than likely that you're already a musician, just in need of a few pointers.
