ON SOME ISSUES OF CONDUCTING ART

Mastering the conductor's position is a continuous process, during which students learn not only the correct hand position, but also such concepts as hearing, memory, control through gestures, control of complex unity of movements. This also implies learning to use conducting techniques and purposeful and precise distribution of their actions.

The conductor communicates with the orchestra through movements of the head, hands, and gestures (facial expressions). During the “conversation” a certain content is expressed. The “conversation” occurs freely, without mental and physical strain, and with the correct use of hand technique, the conductor clearly conveys his thoughts to the performers. The accuracy of the language of movements depends on the conductor.
