Welcome to the Conductor’s Podcast Summer Mini Series!

Hi there! Welcome to the Conductor’s Podcast Summer mini series. During the month of July, we are taking a break from the usual interview conversations. Instead, I will be sharing some tips on different aspects of a conductor’s job with you every week.

In today’s episode, I will be talking about how to improve my conducting!
This is the question that I got asked a lot, and in today's episode I will be sharing some tips that were given to me, and also some that have worked well for myself in these areas:
CONDUCTING TECHNIQUES

Develop a variety of gestures
Use videos to get used to a delayed sound
Eye contact
Posture

SCORE STUDY

Use a piano reduction to learn the harmony and structure
Follow melody, bass line, and instrument entrances first
Have a set of steps that you go through
Mark your score for two purposes: to study the music, and to use during performance / rehearsals

REHEARSAL TECHNIQUES

Watch your own videos
Study your score thoroughly - note where might be problematic and need rehearsals
Write down different ways of rehearsing the same thing
Watch rehearsal footage, or go to rehearsals
When in rehearsal, split your mind - what you are hearing v.s. What you are doing

Best way to practice: having an ensemble that you constantly work with!

Do you also use recordings to help your score study process? Today I am going to share a few things that I do with recordings! 1. See the many interpretational possibilities regarding tempi, balance, or conducting patterns. 2. Check what I might have missed in your score study (dynamics, chord change, important lines, or bringing out a different layer) 3. Memory check when memorizing the score 4. Know what might need rehearsals 5. Help visualize the score 6. The choreography of conducting gestures, 7. Bowings consultance All About Chaowen Ting…

Five key preparation factors for competitions (and as a good conductor in general!) 1. Know the score inside out 2. Have (form and be very firm) your own opinion about the music 3. Have enough techniques to deliver your ideas 4. Keep a high energy and engage musicians at all times 5. Develop problem solving skills - rehearsal techniques, interruptions from the jury, being asked to do a piece you are less good at All About Chaowen Ting…

My Thoughts on Conducting Competitions 27:43

33 weeks yang lalu27:43

27:43

I've always thought that I wasn't a good competition type of conductor, until I realized that I actually convinced myself that I wasn't good in a certain area so I didn't need to continue improving myself. From 2022, I entered La Maestra Competition in Paris, won the 3rd Prize at Kussewitzky Competition 2023 and 2nd Prize at the Mendelssohn Competition 2024. In this season's episodes, I will be sharing more what I've learned in my journey. But before that, my thoughts on conducting competitions - they are just one of the many events that are going to shape and form your conducting journey. 1. Be super clear why you are doing it, and list your learning objectvies 2. Focus on things we can control 3. Know what you need to be successful PS.

3 Biggest Mistakes at Conducting Competitions and Workshops 12:28

41 weeks yang lalu12:28

12:28

Based on my experiences teaching conducting workshops and participating in competitions, the three biggest mistakes are: 1. Worrying so much about the ensemble problems when you are the one causing the problems. 2. Only concerned about your conducting, your vision of the music and fail to connect with musicians. 3. Thinking that it’s only about conducting - how about your leadership styles, interpersonal skills, and the way you present yourself? All About Chaowen Ting…
