1. Standing posture

The body should be upright and upright, with both feet firmly planted, shoulders relaxed, and legs slightly apart, giving people a sense of stability and achieving a harmonious appearance.

2. Actions

The commanded actions should be moderate, not overly exaggerated, minimize redundant actions, and be accurate and refined. Usually the right hand controls the beat, and the left hand prompts various expressions, indicating both division of labor and cooperation.

3. Handling of Strength and Weakness

According to the content of the work, the conductor should have a "gravity downwards and centrifugal outward" movement when handling the strength and weakness of the work, that is, the hand gestures should be downward for heavy beats and strong beats, and downward for weak beats. , the pattern of tapping outward momentum. Don't raise your arms too high, basically in front of your chest. Try to minimize waving with your big arms. Use your forearms to drive your wrists, with your elbow joints as the hub for up and down movements. The joints of your wrists and fingers should be flexible, elastic, and soft. There is hardness in the middle, and softness in the hardness. The central part of the movement to master is the wrist. Generally speaking, fast movements are mainly performed by the wrist. The faster the speed, the smaller the movements. The big arm is mainly used for slow, powerful, brilliant and powerful works. The forearm plays a pivotal role according to the changes in the strength and speed of the work.

Four. Make sure you have the beat in your hands and the content in your heart

The conductor's movement lines must have certain skills and be musical, but should not be too straightforward, routine or simplistic. On the basis of learning schemas, you must master certain command skills. Your movements must be complementary to your inner world, and your feelings and movements must be unified.

5. Be unique

The conductor must be good at mobilizing the enthusiasm of each chorus member and tapping the maximum potential of the actors. He must be unique in the processing and performance of the work, so as to reflect the highest artistic conception of musical performance. .

6. Rhythmic

The conductor's beats include open beats and hidden beats. The bright beats are the beats that can be seen with the eyes, while the dark beats are the beats that are "hidden" in the heart. This "hidden" beat is Rely on your feelings and the rhythm in your heart to get the "point" in place, so that the chorus members can not only understand the intention of the open shot, but also understand the beat point, rhythm and emotion of your secret shot.

Seven. Conductors must have desk work

Conductors must have the ability to analyze works, such as musical structure, changes and contrasts between modes, tonality, and paragraphs, as well as the connotation of the work such as rhythm, speed, intensity, and strength. , fast, slow, etc., we must be aware of it. Never "read it over and over again and pick out every sentence", so that the actor will no longer feel fresh about the work. This is your failure to rehearse.

8. Give full play to subjective initiative on the basis of clear shooting points

Simply put, the art of conducting is the art of starting and preparatory shots, because the preparatory shots remind the actors of speed, intensity and emotion. A clear beat point is the soul of the conductor and an accurate reflection of the music's timing. The conductor's tempo and pattern can never be changed, but the conductor's subjective initiative and his huge potential are inexhaustible. Regardless of the alternation of speed or complex beats, as long as the conductor can master the beat points, the chorus can be unified and tidy.

Nine. Start and finish

Start: Start is the preparatory action before the conductor starts the music. No matter whether the work is passionate, lyrical and graceful, mighty and majestic, or affectionate and delicate, the moment it sounds, it is the one that can best capture and influence the emotions of the audience, and the power to cause these emotions is the best that music art pursues. Effect, "A good start is half the success."

Conductors have the following content about the starting action: accurate speed, whether it is slow or fast, medium-speed and distinct strength, whether it is weak or weak Strong, neither weak nor strong. Rich expressions, beautiful and lyrical, yet strong and powerful.

The preparatory movement of the start of the beat is a false beat, which is the icon of the beat before the beginning of the music. It also gives the actors a precise breathing opening to start singing, so that the actors can unify → inhale → open their mouths → sing, that is, the process of preparation → virtual shooting → real shooting. In some multi-part singing, the parts are in sequence. When entering, in addition to preparatory movements, other parts of the song must be entered in order. For example, in "Roar! Yellow River", the entry order is male high, female low, female high, male low...

Closing: It’s as if the words have been finished and the story has been told. So whether it is passionate, intense, quiet, soft or mysterious, what is waiting is for the conductor to clearly explain it with gestures, giving the audience a perfect sense of ending. .

On the contrary, if it is not accurate, clean, moderate, or appropriate, you will destroy the integrity of the music, and you may waste all your previous efforts in the artistic expression of the work, leaving you with regrets and regrets! Therefore, closing the shot is the key to the success and perfection of the performance.

10. Coordination of the left and right hands

Generally, the left hand controls the emotions and the right hand controls the beat. You must learn to save the role of each hand. For example, when conducting a single voice, try not to use both hands for tasks that can be completed with one hand. The right hand accurately gives the beat, and the left hand assists the right hand in starting and stopping beats and enhancing musical expressions. It can assist in prolonging a certain part without affecting the right hand's beat, and can assist in instructing the entry of each part.

In short, the conductor’s hands-on coordination should be balanced, coordinated, unified and perfect. But remember, although the left hand is very important, the right hand still plays the main role in accurate shooting, and the main function of the two hands is still the right hand.
