um well its a solo violin part so u should have him play louder than the other i could not hear him at times. the orchestra over powered him. either make him work on it so he feels safe playing the notes louder or make the orchestra softer, more to the winds than the strings

Thank you for the comment! I apologize for the balance, the camcorder/microphone was behind the orchestra, so naturally it would pick up more orchestra (esp. winds) than the soloist, who is across the orchestra. I do apologize for viewers of all of my videos, as I do not have the means to record the audio separately. the same problem exists for every video I posted.

I would also recommend that you advise the violinist (keep in mind i dont know circumstances) to play less open strings. Every time he hits an open string out of nowhere, my ears cringe a little bit..Great job though..=)

I watched a couple of your videos. Good work. I can also see some development between works too. A suggestion - I noticed was as soon as you begin your head drops straight to the score. Try to keep eye contact right at the start because that is when musicians need you the most. Good ensembles are a joy to conduct - relax. Have you ever been accused of being too musical? Aim for that! The musician's role is to find more ways to play more music. Your role is to facilitate that :) Let go.

Back to the schoolhouse? :)

The soloist was very good, as was you, as was the orchestra.

Thank you, I will convey the message to the orchestra and the soloist. They will be thrilled, as I am.
