    Wow, what a privileged age in which we live-- that sitting at home, or on the bus, or in the park, we can learn conducting from Maestro Slatkin who just gives us a lesson anytime. Amazing✨ Somebody pinch me✨

    I remember my music teacher had a very mean and serious reputation but if you had a genuine curiosity she was about the nicest person ever. I was a first year who got placed in an advanced class my first class so I was ALWAYS playing catch up from the very beginning. It was quite overwhelming. But my teacher kept me in there as a teaching tool because of my genuine curiosity. As a way to refresh and hone the basics of an already advanced ensemble. And I remember my first curiosity was her conducting, for some reason I always found it fascinating, even to this day, I pay as much attention to the conductor as I do the music. I like the visual element and I can see why conductors are extremely important. So to refresh my memory as I haven’t played music in a long time I came here lol

    I'm a choral conductor and I'm left-handed. However, I actually still conduct (use the baton) in my right, for it feels the most comfortable for me. I tried it in my left hand one time but I couldn't hold on to it! :-)

    Excellent. Never realized it was an horizontal line, to be crossed by the fourth in the upswing

    *_Lol I always go with the beat of the music and at high pitched notes I go far up and when the notes are flat then I go diagonal. when the notes are low pitched then I am throwing invisible balls into the air with my palm_*

    when the musicians are going to understand that is all about the oscillatory movement. So if it is about the oscillatory movement why you do so different the 4 oscillation. They need to have same path, same way to beat in order to control each paramater in each beat. if in the basic form the 4th are so different you cannot control those parameters. you cannot do a vertical in the first with a precise point of beat the second balancing there you do now clear well when is the moment of the beat because you balance it, the 3rd has the same issue as the second and the 4th is the worst because you balance it from the bottom. The balance is so plane that you cannot recognice the two sections of the oscillation, it looks a one direction path. Why conductors do not take seriously the shape of the oscillatory movement as a lenguage of the performance full of subtil variations with different speed and acceleartions, different shapes at the change of directions of the 2 sections of the oscillation. And that horizontal line that you do, of course you can transport it up, down, to side... everywhere you want, it is not static.
