For me, GOOD CONDUCTING is where KNOWLEDGE meets COMMUNICATION.
KNOWLEDGE Self-Check List:
In a full score, do I know…….
- The text, breathing points, ranges, vocal challenges when working with vocalists?
- The tempi, tempo change, transition, and pacing?
- All transpositions, chordal and harmonic structures?
- The phrase types and lengths, and formal structure?
- Instrumentation and texture: who plays what when?
- Instrumentation and texture: who plays what when?
- The dynamic plan of the piece and balance issues?
- Intonation –instrument tuning tendencies, ranges, challenges?
KNOWLEDGE Self-Check List:
- Does my movement reflect/provoke the sound?
- Am I becoming the music itself? Or imposing myself on the music making?
- Who needs my help more? What kind of help(pulse, beat, entrance curing, phrasing, balance check, etc)?
