  • Please take this video down. You need to work on your conducting.

  • Each orchestra worldwide would go for lunch after the first 10 sec with that guy

  • Don't believe in all the comments. Technique is important. You need to learn to beat accurately before you want to be expressive. This video is NOT supposed to show you "How to become a maestro in 5 minutes." Well, his gesture is mechanical, but clear enough for a beginner to understand. 

  • Beat 4 In Not In The Middle. Its At The Top: By The Head.

  • I think you should rename this video to EPIC CONDUCTING FAILS. Your gestures are rigid, awkward, unnatural, and lack musicality. Thumbs UP if you agree XD

  • Your amazingly gay

  • it facinates me as a concert goer how everything in the wonderful world of music has a reason and technique its amazing :)

  • Just a hint from a novice.

    Numbering the videos would have helped me a lot. I'm still trying to find the first one.

  • I love watching these, because professionals never use big ictus'..its comical...

  • My only problem with this is that im watch you conduct it backwards. :|
