This is a good introduction or reminder of basic patterns. I would clarify a few things. In the 4/4 pattern, beat 2 is to the left and beat 3 is on the right (from the perspective of the conductor). The conductor shows you the pattern 1st from her perspective with her right hand. When she switches to the left hand, it is a "mirrored" version to make it easier for the viewer to follow. In the mirrored version, left and right are reversed so that the viewer, facing in the opposite direction will be able to follow from there perspective. This is mentioned in the video but it's a confusing concept and could use a bit more explaination. Also, the conducting window mentioned in the video is the space your hand must stay inside in order to be more easily followed. When conducting, I learned to always start with your hand held still at the bottom of the window, where it will be when you land on beat one. That shows the musicians where that first crucial beat will occur before you begin conducting. The prep (before beat 1) occurs when you lift your hand away from the beat one position and return it. This ensures that everyone starts together. The speed with which this occurs also gives the musicians a good idea of the tempo.

If you dont have the music score with the time signature then try clapping either 2, 3 or 4 beats per bar along with the music. Its a matter of trial and error and experience i think.

If you conduct down to your waist your ensemble will miss most of the information regarding your actual music. Keep you around chest height so that the performers can see your face to get your facial expressions as well as the movement of your shoulders that can show breathing. It also helps if you have to raise your conductor music stand to see the music

@ahmaddeedatibrahim66317 жыл бұрын
Try watching choral recitation videos and watch the conductor closely. In some videos, you'll notice the time signature just by looking at the conductor. For an example, Ching-a-Ring-Chaw (folk), Salt Lake Choral Artists: 2/4 May It Be (LotR OST), UCLAn Chamber Choir: 3/4 Sogno di Volare (Civilization VI OST), Cadogan Hall Concert: 12/8 (which is analogous to 4/4) Though, of course, many choral conductors prefer to conduct to the rhythm and expression more than the beat.
@thelegendarymusician23346 жыл бұрын
A lot of young conductors are just conducting using the 1 beat pattern, which is just moving the baton vertically up and down, to all the music they conduct and perform. As a professional musician, pianist and conductor, when I was a student we were taught all the patterns and what is now known as the conventional way of conducting (I.e. use of the patterns on the right hand and articulating just with left hand or sometimes with right hand). I have long since deviated to a more uncoventional method like that of Carlos Kleiber, by adapting the patterns and sometimes conducting each hand individually at times. You do have to put your heart in and feel the music's expression, tempo and rhythm.
