Thanx, after watching this video, now I understand what a conductor like "Tylor" doing while performing orchestra. I also love this great art.

Thanks! This was a super helpful review of conducting techniques. I especially like your clear statement about things you can do with your left hand while keeping the beat with your right. One suggestion for a future video: conducting with your head. As an organist/pianist I'm almost always playing and can't use my hands to conduct, so I tell my choir "I'll look at you and nod when you need to cut off" or some such. Tips about conducting with your head/without hands would be good!

Together with the left hand, can I also use my right hand to give more emphasis the way I would like the singers to sing? For example, I want to have an accent on a specific note, then I’m going to use my both hands to conduct them while keeping the beat on my right hand.

@MusicMinistry101 Жыл бұрын

@irishfan743 Ай бұрын

Never understood this bc at my child's band concerts, they are all looking at the music and not focusing on the conductor. So he is just moving his hands for no reason. 😁 Only time I noticed any sequence is when they all stop playing. But I admit, I'm not educated in this field.

@MusicMinistry101 Ай бұрын

Haha, good point. You can see a lot with peripheral vision as well as just listening to those around you. Some younger teachers will train the kids to look up at specific moments, too.

Thank you so much for this video. I've just taken on the role of a Community Choir Leader/Conductor. One question have you ever come across Left Handed Conductors who use their Left hand , so basically opposite to all you showed for both hands like a mirror effect? I'm Left Handed 😂 hence why I ask. Thanks again

Hi - I've seen a few but generally we try to learn with the right hand. If it's a pretty small gig and nobody cares, go for it! Also, for your program: www.musicministry101.com/choir-essentials-training-program-web

@lemoniagregoriadou4366 4 ай бұрын

hello, very helpful video and tips, thank you so much! :) Some questions, if the choir members can not read notes, is it better to give them sheet music (in order to get familiar with the bars and the notes?) is it more practical to let them simply read the lyrics? teach them solfège?

@MusicMinistry101 4 ай бұрын

Hey, great questions. Solfege is a longer term investment for a choir, so I would not begin there unless you've got experience teaching it and your singers will likely stick around for a long time. It depends a little on what kind of style music you are doing, but I would shoot for 75-100% SHEET music. As you go, I would teach them a few basics of music reading (notes go up and down, there are steps and skips, follow the note heads) and so on. You could invest in a program to get better at teaching choir OR learning to read music for beginners. Some of mine are here: www.musicministry101.com/products

@@asalierio1801 It depends a lot on the situation. The goal is always to show the music clearly - so there is no confusion when to sing/play. A lot of times, you will show a beat or two before anyone comes in to sing. What kind of group do you have?

Your words don’t match the hand movements on the rhythm beats. You’re saying up while your hand is coming down, so it’s confusing. It’s okay, I know the beat patterns but just wanted to say I don’t understand how that goes together?
