when the conductor needs a conductor to conduct his conducting.

[dayannnnna]

i love how brett in his first try was just like being a confused living metronome

[Moonless_Future]

Striking that balance between "human-shaped metronome" and "interpretive dancer" sure is tricky.

[marcoblackwell]

This video was hilarious... but y'all are sleeping on how freaking good this youth orchestra is. Seriously. A youth orchestra that doesn't sound like a train is already an achievement.

[carolynchen]

can you imagine them showing up to your rehearsal and you’ve been completely faking your part

[elum]

Brett and Eddy in a previous video about being a conductor: You have to get the orchestra's respect in the first 10 seconds.
Brett in the first 10 seconds: What's the tempo?

[strangelaw]

Conductor: you can use your gesture
Brett: Oh of course
Brett: *conducts like a frog and a butterfly*

[MC-jmnu]

Takeaways of this episode:
1. Conductors are sensitive generals
2. Brett can go a little power mad when stressed
3. Mind the violas
4. Eddy does big arm movements when nervous/lost

Eddy in this vid is like that Asian kid who always says that they didn’t study but end up with straight A’s lol

[twentysevenand]

The conductor was actually a good teacher. Every time he gave a critique, he would explain why it was important and what difference it would make. A great choice to do the video with.

[lettipehara]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good the actual conductor is? He is really sensitive, understanding and professional. He knows how to use his words to be clear and careful with how the kids are going to take the corrections
I wish I had one of those when I played in a youth orchestra

[ghillieslife]

"You don't have to tell them, you can show with gestures." Someone tell this to my conductor who goes on 25 minute tangents in the middle of rehearsal.

[ctthes]

I literally burst out laughing when Eddy gave a whole lecture on his interpretation, the orchestra goes silent and the conductor tells him to make it just one or two words HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA

[jessicarol.t]

I love everytime Brett asked everyone “are you guys ready?” but actually he was talking to himself
That's so cute!

The conductor of this orchestra is FANTASTIC. I say this as a conductor myself: he communicates well with the kids in the orchestra, his gesture is effective, and his pedagogy of conducting to Brett and Eddy was amazing - just what they needed at the time, and not overwhelming. What an amazing educator on multiple levels!! Kudos to Brett and Eddy for being vulnerable and trying out something new in the music world. I love this channel so much!!!

[chill-salmon]

If my conductors are them I'd never be late for my rehearsals

[carcinogenicbyte]

Hey, if my conductor doesn’t crouch like Brett to signal dynamics, I don’t want him.

[rohudaboss]

"If they don't catch you, its their problem"

When it comes to conductors, truer words have never been spoken.

[clairvaux]

Eddy: "A shimmering vibrato."
Conductor: "They're young musicians, so you should use easy words."
Eddy: "Okay, got it. I want a shimmering sound." *editor-san: uses same word*
