Topic Reading-Vol.940-11/7/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
What does a conductor actually do?
Have you ever seen an orchestra perform, whether in a concert hall or on screen? There is a person just standing on the podium moving his or her hands and body but doesn’t play any musical instruments, sings songs or makes sound. But the eyes of the entire audience are glued to his or her movements, not to mention the ones of the players on the stage.
So, what does a conductor actually do? He or she must be doing much more than keeping the right tempo of the music because that could be easily done by a metronome.
Enjoy reading and finding what conductors do on the podium and behind the stage.
