Now Hans, Why should he need to learn all of that "theory" stuff. You don't need that to be a conductor. All you need to know is:
4/4 time is: down left right up down left right up down left right up 3/4 time is: down right up down right up down right up 2/4 time is: down up down up down up.

If so, get him much better. He should also get intensive lessons on "classical" composer skill, music theory, eventually later, playing a sight-reading piano reduction from score and play piano reductions from ready arranged piano scores (good source are the one arranged by Felix Mottl, the great conductor, to be found on used book sales or flea markets). A young conductor must be prepared perfectly well, sonot to corrupt himself. Conducting is a great art, an art to transfer feelings into the orchestra, to enthusiast the orchestra & transfer all in a very cooperative work between Orchestra & Conductor to the Audience. - And it is great excitement & fun to conduct an orchestra. ############################################# Am 27.05.2011 um 15:11 schrieb Joe Scarpelli: > The best part of this story is that you got to play the performance with > your daughter.
