I cringe you know when I see the way they don't follow the score or they're giving cues that are contrary to what's intuitive for a musician who's trying to follow them There are so many things . that one can do wrong I'm still learning myself you know ?? what works what can help create the excitement and where I should just not give a cue and just let them play And then when you do that when you're not giving a beating every single beat and showing every single thing that you have on your mind ?? when you don't do that then when you do show something it makes so much more of an impact So I'm still learning all those things myself" On Conducting From His Chair "Somehow it makes the players . have to sit on the edge of their seat They can't get away with kind of sitting back and following They have to lead themselves as well And also there's sort of no middleman this way They follow directly what I'm doing and sometimes somehow it feels even more natural" On Conducting Rehearsals "So many times I've seen conductors that every time they have a thought they stop the orchestra and say it and I can see the orchestra rolling their eyes and saying 'Oh God he stopped again' So there's a technique to rehearsing You know you try to store up the things you want to say try to remember what they are so you can say them all at once at the end "And . you shouldn't have to speak everything You should be able to show with your hands you know if you want something to become more legato There's nothing more frustrating than seeing a conductor say "Play softer" as they're waving their hands in huge gestures You know they say "Now softer here softer here" . There's so much you can show with your hands . That's what we should strive for not having to say so much and showing it through the hands" musical director, he's still injecting new life into his old classics. Candi Staton.
