[@atlaswinter8134]

Ok story time I was in an orchestra with literally the worst conductor ever. He was literally somehow all of these things + just rude and stupid and the entire orchestra hated him. He always talked about how much we’d fall apart without him and it was sooooo annoying. So it’s the night of this big concert and we’re trying to compete with other orchestras and he gets suppperrr pissed about the lighting or something like that and we all just ignore him so he gets even more pissed. So then we’re at like the beginning of our first piece and he just walks off. Like just drops his hands, shakes his head, and just walks off the fucking stage like he owns the place. And the thing is, he expected us to all fall apart without him but we just kept playing like nothing had happened (you should have seen his face). So that’s how we played through all our rep (even Beethoven’s fifth) with only the concert master to que us in. And guess what? We got like second and got to play at some cool venues, and the judges noted how he isn’t invited. Lol that’s my random conductor story thx bye Edit: wow thx for all the likes and comments haha. What a beautiful community these guys have built. Glad y’all enjoyed my little story EDIT: Senpai noticed me!!!!!!!

INTONATION

[@cellogirl11rw55]

My orchestra is very fortunate to have an awesome conductor, who comes up with a rehearsal plan for the next rehearsal about a week ahead of time and emails it to all of us so we know what to practice. He is also great about sticking to his plan most of the time, the only exception being if we REALLY need to work on something longer than anticipated. As for articulation and tone, he tells us what he wants, but never how to do it. Why? Because everyone's instrument is unique. For example, my stand partner has a factory-made cello that has a fairly dull tone and requires the player to work quite hard, but mine was hand-sculpted with European spruce, maple, and ebony that had been cured for six by a luthier in Germany, and it is much more responsive.

Storytime (hope ur ready for this) So my school has elementary, middle, and high school all in one. There was this conductor in my old elementary school, and she pretended she knew everything, basically a smart ass. She would always start before the orchestra was ready, and she wouldn't even count the tempo before she began, she just put her hands up and started conducting, and the tempo always changed. She's always complaining how we never start on time, and everyone hated her basically. When I got into high school (yes she was still working there), the conductor was way more professional, and the secondary and primary orchestra joined together for practice. She acted like a smart ass to the high school students, and her habits haven't changed. This is where the karma came in. The principal, who was really into classical music, was watching the rehearsal, and he told the secondary conductor to conduct instead, and even asked "shouldn't you count before you start? It's going to be more effective that way" and needless to say she was embarrased in front of the academy orchestra, the parents who were watching (normally they wouldn't be allowed to), the art department teachers, and an artist in residence. She left the school after that year.

I have a few stories. Recently I played with a conductor who could not figure out where the downbeat was. He kept going sideways which was very confusing because I believe we were in a 6 pattern and it's hard enough keeping track of which beat you're on without the conductor confusing you on where the downbeat is. One of the people in the cello section mentioned this very respectfully to him that it would really be helpful if his downbeats were a little more clear. He ripped into that girl like crazy. I was just there kind of helping the orchestral out cuz they can never find enough violins. I decided then and there I was done with that orchestra and I was never coming back. Since I was just volunteering I decided I didn't need to put myself through that much stress and anxiety. One of the people that had asked me to come play told the conductor my feelings and he said he was very sorry and would be better if I came back. I said absolutely not. Here he said he had a conducting master's degree from somewhere. I say boloney. Another story: When I first got into my first Youth Orchestra our conductor was a pretty Savage guy. He would scream at everybody that came in late and make a big deal about it. If you missed your entrance during rehearsal he'd scream at you and make you play it by yourself. if you talked during rehearsal at all he would he would scream at you and kick you out of the orchestra. One time my stand partner was talking to me during rehearsal and I knew better than to look at her and to Respond back so I just looked straight ahead at the conductor. He saw her talking to me and he threw his baton at her. I think it ended up going right between us but at least I saw it coming since I was looking at him. He would make anyone just randomly play the hardest spot in their music in front of everyone else during rehearsal. I remember one time I wasn't coming in at the right spot In a Pizzicato section and he made us do it like 10 times for me and he kept saying every time I was wrong. I am pretty sure by the second time I had it right cuz my eyes were glued to him the entire time but he still made the entire Orchestra do it over and over and over. One time I was late to rehearsal because the bridges were up and I couldn't get to that side of the city. He screamed at me for about 10 minutes in front of the whole Orchestra. I was only 2 minutes late.

[@michaeltanner2666]

Now I've seen a few storytimes in the comments and decided to write about a conducter, that actually exists (not that I call the other stories to be made up). I occasionally play in an orchestra, where from beginner to professional musicians take part. Now the conducter and organizer of this orchestra, buys, arranges and composes pieces for the different instruments (there are recorders, sax, accordions, etc in there), and levels of the musicians! Once in every year, mostly in april or May, we meet for a whole week and work on those pieces and in the end we give two concerts, where in the second one even the childrens from the audience are allowed to take part in. Every year there are 50 participants (it caps there, there is no more space on the stage), in the age from childrens (10 y/o, sometimes younger...) to old persons (80 y/o). Now u can tell we are no professionals, but since we got a few professionals taking part in it regularly, the whole orchestra has improved. Thanks to our conducter's engagement we have at least one week in the year, where we enjoy our time whilst working to one target... Trust me he has way too much patience with us... There are a lot participants who think they don't have to practice and would get everything right... But in the end, the concerts, while not perfect, are still good, and ppl like it.

See our band director can’t sing OR play Since he has teacher chops And he’ll bust out his euphonium and play something we’re struggling with as an example He’s a better teacher than a player, he’ll miss and crack notes because he’ll try and read like clarinet music and it’s just ughhhhhh

Have you ever had a conductor who says that the concert was the best performance yet when honestly, it was bad and the rehearsals were better? (I was commenting this in the middle of the video so sorry if it was already shown)

[@mariapp4825]

If the last rehearsal goes well, the concert doesn't. If the last rehearsal goes badly, the concert goes well.

[@Stettafire]

Yes, had the daughter in our chior and wow she was... not bad but not amazing. Yet, she could do no wrong in the conductor's eyes. She was also a massive bully but she got away with murder. Yet anyone else would get yelled at if they came even close to making her kind of mistakes.

Alright story time. i had the best orchestra teacher when i was in 6th grade. So she got pregnant, and didn’t come back for 7th grade. Now we have this tennis player who actually CANT play the violin. (That’s what the majority of my orchestra is) is yelling at us over and over again if ONE person makes a mistake. So i will never forget this one time, he wanted us to tap our feet. Non of us were, so he starts stomping on the ground, yelling, TAP YOU FEET!!!!!!! (Yea he sad “you”) we all just stopped playing and started tapping our feet. He got so pissed off, that he threw MY 600 dollar violin across the room. I got so mad, i ran out of the room, got his violin and threw it. I got suspended, but he also got something. A lawsuit.

[@whyhello5461]

@@jc.8112 It's like when you have an honors geometry sub, but they don't know the area of a triangle or what a median line is--and give you the homework that on the sheet given to them by your ACTUAL teacher says in bold, "DO NOT GIVE HOMEWORK" and "NO HOMEWORK". True story, and very frusterating. She also would actually raise her voice to shush our whispering bc we were confused, bc y'know, *she didn't teach us anything and doesn't know geometry* I've also had an Algebra sub who kept making basic math mistakes over and over again, and starting yelling at us that, and I quote-- "A PERFECT SQUARE, IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE: A PERFECT SQUARE"

[@thedoveyparkchop4162]

@@nivis8550 It could be true. My spanish teacher suddenly left at the start of this school year (2018-2019) and now we have a teacher who gives us worksheets and can barely speak a word of spanish correctly and we have had her for the whole year since september.

[@nivis8550]

@@thedoveyparkchop4162 The incompetence of the teacher isn't what I doubt. I'm talking about the part where he throws the $600 violin across the room.

You forgot the one, that ALWAYS loose their stick and or throw them in the middle of the orchestra.

[@polilyen]

My current conductor is totally the over dramatic one. I don’t think she understands that it’s not necessary to actually scream the counting at us every time we have to go over something. The violins get yelled at nearly every day, but I’m a cello, so that’s literally the one good aspect. She also does this thing where she will, instead of doing something that doesn’t induce extreme stress and anxiety into her *middle school students*, decide to do these things called “sectionals.” She assigns us a day of the week to come to the orchestra room and play parts of songs. In front of everyone in that section. I don’t think I could count how many times I’ve legitimately cried while doing that. I hate her guts tbh Also one time I had to call home and I had no clue the difference between a short distance number and a long distance number as no one had even mentioned the term to me. Not even once. Instead of educating me on the subject, she gives me this nasty look that I will never forget. The kind that says “how the fuck do you not know that.” It seems as if she has absolutely no empathy and no soul.

[@justanotherhumanbeing7119]

When I was in fifth grade I was doing really well in band and had an *awesome* director, but then I moved across the country. My new director SUCKED. I was his only flute player because *he couldn't teach* and I already knew how to play, and he treated me like GARBAGE. So I wanted to show my disapproval of him by missing out on rehearsals, and he didn't seem to get the message. I eventually started getting into a depressing state, and I hated going to the few rehearsals I had with him (6 a.m.) because I was losing so much sleep for nothing but torture and humiliation. So at the end of the year there was supposed to be a concert, but I purposefully didn't attend because I hated him so much. I had lost a lot of my passion by then. So I just sat with everyone else in the cafeteria and put my head down. And then he just walked up to me, in front of everyone else, and yelled, "YOU'RE DISAPPOINTING! VERY!" And to this day, I still shudder at the memory. The following summer was a challenge as well. I got a private teacher, and it took a long time for her to help me to build my passion and courage back up. A year later, during my first year of middle school, I was put with the upperclassmen. My new band director was the BEST one that I've ever had. And guess what? A friend of mine, who also played the flute, told me about how he was treated like crap too. So not only has this evil (as my private teacher describes him) band director been a bully to me, but he was also a bully to generations before me. I only wish the best of luck to the next flute player who gets in his hands. EDIT: Oh yeah, and BTW. I got first chair in AllState and All County this year (three years after what happened with him). The first thing I did was reflect on how humble my beginnings were and sent an Email thanking my first band director for getting me started. Then I thought of the evil director. The first words that came to mind for me on that thought was "No, *you're* the loser! Muahahahahaha!" It was the best feeling in the world.
