All musicians have been here.<\/p>\n
Each conductor brings his or her own unique style to the music. But the main problems that conductors give musicians are the way that they bring you in or keep the beat.<\/p>\n
So is it worse being given too much information or too little.<\/p>\n
To Little:
\n“Where exactly do you come in and are you meant to guess where the beat is?”
\nThe problem isn’t really that they don’t give you enough information, but more that they don’t give you enough of correct information.<\/p>\n
I know some conductors who just start the musicians off and let them play themselves; this is great (if the musicians are good enough) however if the conductor doesn’t have enough confidence they will interject here and there and just create confusion!<\/p>\n
To Much:
\n“I can subdivide even if you do conduct in 2, I don’t need this frantic 4!!”<\/p>\n
Being told where every beat is makes the music speed up and gives it a more frantic feel than is necessary. The main problem is it’s just frustrating for the musicians and mildly insulting (like being spoken to slowly and deliberately as if you’re a fool).<\/p>\n
Again this is a confidence thing as the conductor being unable to relinquish control.<\/p>\n
I’m not really a conductor so I can only comment from the musician side of things and just say have some confidence in who you’re leading and then just guide them. We can play music, it’s our job!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
