CONDUCTING Methods for those beginners.pptx

music

1. conductor , in  music , a person who conducts an orchestra, chorus,  opera  company, ballet, or other musical group in the performance and interpretation of ensemble works. At the most fundamental level, a conductor must stress the musical pulse so that all the performers can follow the same metrical rhythm. 

2. The keeping of this rhythmic beat is accomplished by a stylized set of arm and hand movements that outline the basic metre — e.g.,  two beats to the measure (as in a polka), three beats (as in a waltz or mazurka), or four beats (as in a march), in each case the primary accent being indicated by a downstroke.

3. IMPORTANCE One of the most important roles of the conductor is to  establish the beat at the beginning of the music . The conductor does this with a “preparatory beat”, like the breath of preparation the singer draws in before singing the first note.
