WRAPPING PRESENTS & THE MOST MAGICAL EVENING | VLOGMAS

[@J_E_Double_N]

The pure brother and sister moment at the end with Alfie and Poppy made me laugh so much!!

[@MaeFletch]

You got the gist of what a conductor does. They keep everyone at the same tempo. But they also cue entrances, cut off notes (so everyone cuts off at the same time), indicate dynamics (how loudly/quietly a section should play), etc. Also, to what Alfie says, by the time you're in concert, you've played so so so many times that you have a lot of it memorized, or at least know when you need to look at the music, and when you can take a moment to look at the conductor. :)

[@naomimunoz1099]

As a violinist myself and I can tell you guys you’re pretty much on the nose! The conductors job is to keep everyone in time no matter what instrument or section they’re in. You may not be able to look directly at them the whole time, but you learn to glance so that you’re not going ahead or behind in the music. It’s a super important job!

[@par07123]

I am so sad vlogmas is coming to an end. They’ve become apart of my day that I always look forward to. Thank you for doing vlogmas each year Zoe and bringing so much Christmas joy and happiness to everyone’s day!

[@BornToRide37]

The conductor is the one who "interprets" the music. If you compare it to singing, lyrics and the notes are just 'there' for everyone to read, but the actual singer can add emphasis or pauses (or just emotion in general) and totally make it their own. Since you have a group of people in an orchestra and not just one individual, the musicians can't just go and add their own spin to the notes - so that is what the conductor does and everyone follows his directions. And to Alfie's comment about reading the notes, after you have rehearsed a song a thousand times you pretty much know it by heart and can focus on the conductor ;)

[@vittorigoli1098]

i want to move to the UK so bad

[@ElliePickard23]

I’ve booked to see Skyfall in concert at the Albert Hall in October and I’m sooo excited! My boyfriend is a conductor! They have such an important job within an orchestra! They tell people when to start and stop. They bring people into together at the same time if necessary and they make all the intricate musical decisions within the music for the whole orchestra! It’s all very normal for me as a musician, but I can see how it can look very strange to someone who doesn’t understand what’s happening!

[@Mpevans0517]

In the U.S we have had the Harry Potter symphony up to movie 4 so far in Nashville. Next year HP5 is coming and we already have our tickets! It’s literally so good. Plus, did you realize that the composer for Home Alone is the same composer for Harry Potter? We watched Home Alone two nights ago and I looked at my boyfriend and said “this sounds like Harry Potter!!”

[@CocoDay]

*as soon as she said “leftover dominoes” my stomach growled with hunger* 😳🍕 I think that’s a sign i should get a pizza...

[@laurenbenson2914]

Coco Day from a strangers input I say DO IT! 🤷🏼‍♀️

[@bonnieboo124]

Agreed

[@alicephilippa8447]

I think you should name the elves Buddy, Hoggle and Dobby

[@lucyagguini1378]

Yesss or buddy teddy and dobby but those names are cute 😂

[@Leena-il7po]

I love you so much Zoe 💕💕💕 I am enjoying Vlogmas sooo much 🤗 who else is enjoying vlogmas ?

[@lucyagguini1378]

I love vlogmas! It's the highlight of my day! 😚❤

[@debbiesanderson9466]

I’m laughing to myself about my image of tomatoes 🍅 on toast and Zoe’s actual version.... just to clarify mine would have been a tin 🥫 of tomatoes warmed up in the microwave then poured over 2 slices of pre cut supermarket bread toasted ...... Maybe I can also fall in love with your version Zoe- thankyou xx 😘

[@missmcgregorkeiraxxx]

I’ve been to one in Cardiff for Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and it was amazing. Not only was there fantastic music from the orchestra but watching a movie like that with so many people was fantastic alone.

[@evew7961]

Merry Christmas eve eve everyone!🎄🎊

[@lucyagguini1378]

Yayyyy!!!

[@cherryb6238]

Merry Christmas! xoxo

[@julleeping2]

Omg Alfie and poppy fighting lol

[@lorrieleduc3565]

if my orchestra teacher heard Alfie say that he would argue with him. the conductor keeps all the sections together with the balance of volume and help them stay in time.

[@h.a178]

THIS YEAR WENT WAY TOO FASY :(

[@katiegallagher3789]

I opened some Christmas presents tonight because I'm at my dad's house on Christmas instead of my mum's and my grandad got me your Zoella beauty box and I started crying 😭❤️ love you Zoe ❤️❤️ xxxx

[@katiegallagher3789]

[@sophiejoannapenikett7572]

[@Ellen225500]

[@hannahgamble3239]

[@lucyagguini1378]

[@Samilovescandy]

What's Christmas without these vlogs? I love it

[@graciedavenport]

*2 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS! Who’s excited?!🎄 Notif Squad wya?! Love you so much Zoë! Such a huge inspiration! One of my absolute faves! Thankyou for inspiring me to start youtube!💗*

[@eleanor5890]

I went to something like that but instead of Home Alone I watched the Snowman with a live orchestra and it was amazing!!

[@amylove4439]

Soon I’ll have to start counting down until Vlogmas 2019 ohh nooo 🎅🏻🎁🎈❄️💜 Merry Christmas everyone!!!

[@NoriGrace]

This makes me feel so festive!!!!! Home alone is my fav 🎅🏻

[@katiebigglestone446]

Can’t believe vlogmas is nearly over! It’s gone so quickly

[@susannechickenmom5621]

Loved every minute of it. You know Alfie is feeling better when he mess around with Poppy. "sibling love" Nice that you are feeling better Alfie "pampering hug"

[@erin-d5x4l]

IT'S THE EVE OF CHRISTMAS EVE YAY!! 🎄❄🎉 #CHRISTMASVIBES 💕

[@kacichavarria-wilhelm1191]

I saw Jurassic Park in concert it was aaaammmmaaazing! Also the school I teach at the orchestra students played to a Halloween film.

[@erikaraean2115]

“Welcome to my box” 😂😂😋

[@anusoma]

I've been watching the vlogs for so long that I can't believe there's going to be just one more. :(

[@Getinthebinnnn-24]

Poppy and Alfie arguing is hilarious

[@sammikathleen908]

I love ending my day with Zoe’s wholesome vlog!!

[@katiejimenez7320]

Wonderful vlog! Zoe you are correct about the conductor, just to let you know 😊 He keeps everyone in time and basically tells everyone when to start playing their instrument and when to stop, as each musical line has a different tempo/rhythm 😊great vlog x

[@elizabethmcguire2377]

No Zoë your right! I’m in an orchestra the conductor is abit random but it helps you keep in time! Even I sometimes wonder how I’m keeping in time when I’m reading the music but you can see it in the corner of your eye slightly. They also bring different sections in and set the down beat Correct me if I’m wrong but tluk xxx

[@amandaandmaria96]

Been my favorite for years now, you’ve inspired us ❤️

[@shaunanihaonais7937]

Can’t believe it’s day 22 already 🙈

[@floriemaya]

Wow on my bucket list. A show sat in a box at RAH! 😍

[@TwizzleTown]

The conductor keeps the the tempo. The musicians haveto keep their eye on the conductor AND the music. But between rehearsals and performances they've nearly got the music memorized

[@maddisonsinger1575]

I am a singer and have recently just recovered from tonsillitis I would highly recommend manukau honey and not normal honey. Also if you can get your hands on any Sanderson mixture it is awful but works wonders for tonsillitis I promise give it a go x

[@planetoval]

i love alfie saying " comment poppy's a bitch" sibling goals lmfao

[@ailsaedgar4902]
