THIS CLIP
The best conducting lesson you will ever have. Witty, charming and unmistakably British, Rainer Hersch ("Victor Borge for a new generation" The London Times) explains with laugh-out-loud comedy what does a conductor do? The myths about conductors and conducting are gently exploded. Here are five reasons everyone can understand, whether you are seasoned orchestral musician or couldn't tell a baton from your bottom. Starting with setting the tempo and showing when the musicians should actually start playing, the conductor needs to be seen by everyone. Then there is giving cues to the players and adjusting the balance. This is funny and informative. But don't let him fool you, a monkey could do it.
