This might be right dealing with rather less experienced groups, but if a real professional musician with long exposure to the big heads in the music business, if he conducts a less experienced group, he has to be very strict, but not a tyrant. Strict means, demanding that they follow his intention. But that requires "that he feeds them some kind of a food , a special prepared food, they will like & they can digest" (clear words: he has to explain to them why he is doing this & that in that particular piece & why he likes it that way & not another.
But clever enough, he will listen to their suggestions. Following their suggestions (or not) is another pair of shoes. ========================================================== -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hurricane Chinooks Sent: Tuesday, June 15, 2004 7:15 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [Hornlist] RE: Amateur Conductors That is a very interesting concept.
