    I kept thinking this was electrical conductors, then train conductors

      Me too! Even when they talked about them waiving their arms around, I thought, "Train conductors wave their arms around?" 😂😂😅

      Right I'm following along like okay, waving arms around sounds pretty low tech for this kinda thing

    Thanks Guys for podcasts. I am a beginner in learning English; therefore I am trying to listen a lot. In this case your work is very helpful for me.🙏

    Expecting electrical capacitors because I read the title too fast. Then saw my mistake as I clicked. Now expecting electrical conductors
    Edit: I was wrong again. Haha

    I've played in an orchestra all my life. Most of this was funny, but around 30:00 it really becomes far too clear that you guys have no actual practical knowledge of the topic you are talking about. Conducting isn't a magical, impossible talent that nearly no one has. Universities teach it to many thousands of music students every year. Keeping the beat isn't complicated, the orchestra mostly keeps the beat on its own. We players aren't idiots, we can hear everyone else, we can keep time and we know the piece! Mostly, the conductor just has to slow us down if we play to fast (or speed us up).
    Players learn during rehearsals what the other instruments are doing and when we need to start or stop playing. As long as any instrument is playing, all other instruments' players are perfectly capable of counting on their own and knowing when to start up again. Mostly, we don't even need to count, we know the piece and can hear that the right time is coming up.
    It's during the rehearsals that the conductor is really important. There they tell the players which parts they want to be louder (quieter, faster, happier, more emotional, less perky, ... ... you get the drift). That way they shape the piece into their own piece of art. Very much like the director for a movie or a theater piece. :) During the performance their job is mostly just helping with the exact timing whenever that's difficult, giving reminders ("hey you, not so loud!"), and giving motivation for more emotive performance.
