  • these videos are absolutely shocking

  • @afrhiI If you think this video is correct, you need to take a conducting class at a university from a real conductor with credentials.

  • @hermizoth SO TRUE!!!! LOVE IT!!!!

  • Das Beste an diesem Video ist die Reklame zu Beginn, der Rest ist peinlich!

  • Please, forget and forgive this video. First thing (after the mistake of do a video about this tip) is not right, beacuse you don't need to be ever high. The orchestra sill see you. But, if you are ever on high, you'll loose an important part of your space for to conduct.

  • Conducting isn't like playing an instrument. It's communicating your ideas to the players, who convert them into physical sounds. Technique is more important for an instrumentalist than for a conductor. For him, it's the ideas that are necessary, and to be able to communicate them - but that is a highly individual matter. It's not about how you wave your arms.

  • Oh really? Leonard Bernstein seem to disagree =P

    If you look at Leonard Bernstein conducting Candide Suite, it will be rather obvious that not all of these are true.

  • I mean... what?

  • That's interesting.... I always thought you DIDN'T want to keep your arms way out in front of you like a zombie

  • your face throughout this whole video reflects the quality of this video...
