[custom_adv] In 1974, she received a master's degree in choral leadership from the University of Wisconsin in Madison. During this period he worked with leaders such as: Robert Fountain, Kurt Prestel and .... [custom_adv] At a basic level conducting is very simple. It keeps an orchestra or a choir in time and together. But that’s just the starting point. Most importantly a conductor serves as a messenger for the composer. It is their responsibility to understand the music and convey it through gesture so transparently that the musicians in the orchestra understand it perfectly. [custom_adv] People have been using sticks to ‘conduct’ music since 700BC, but it’s gone in and out of fashion. In Medieval and Renaissance times most small ensembles listened to each other and performed without a conductor. [custom_adv] Later, as more instruments were invented and orchestras grew in size, the favour shifted to using a big staff that leaders would pound on the ground to keep time. This was very effective because the musicians could hear it, but then the composer Lully stabbed himself in the foot and got gangrene and died... [custom_adv] So people began to look for other ways to conduct the music. Nowadays conductors use either a baton (for a large ensemble) or just their hands. There are set patterns and gestures which communicate key features of the music, but since the players often already have those features written on their scores this isn’t the conductor’s main role.

At the most fundamental level, a conductor must stress the musical pulse so that all the performers can follow the same metrical rhythm. [custom_adv] For nearly two centuries, conductors favoured a baton, or thin wand, in the right hand as a device for emphasizing the metrical outline, reserving the left hand for indicating entries of different parts and nuances. [custom_adv] Some contemporary conductors, however, follow a practice long established in unaccompanied choral conducting and dispense with the baton; the absence of the baton frees both hands for more elaborately interpretive directions. [custom_adv] With the removal of the baton and the elimination, through memorization, of the printed score in public performance, the conductor is free to use not only his hands and arms but also the movement of his torso and facial muscles to express to the group his wishes in the execution of phrasing, dynamic level, nuance, individual entrances, and other aspects of a finished performance. [custom_adv] Conducting became a specialized form of musical activity only in the early 19th century. As early as the 15th century, performances by the Sistine Choir in the Vatican were kept together by slapping a roll of paper (or in other cases, a lengthy pole, or baton) to maintain an audible beat.
