A Conductor’s Role
The primary responsibilities of a conductor are to unify performers in an ensemble, shape the ensemble through various tempi, influence dynamics, control interpretation and stress metrical rhythm.
Importance of Teacher as Conductor
The private lesson teacher with band/orchestra/flute choir conducting experience will successfully coach their students in “how to” excel in ensembles with their inside knowledge of the unspoken secret of “what conductors expect”, thereby giving their students an edge for success towards a place or win in an audition or competition.
Applying this information will help the student land a good placement in Advanced High School Band, All State Competitions and Youth Orchestra auditions, etc.. Moreover, this knowledge is imperative for those who have future prospects for Music College Entrance.
