Lesson Four: What to Do with the Left Hand, Leonard Slatkin's Conducting School 

I have been a fan of Leonard Slatkin's conducting for many years. After seeing a video of him conducting the "Bydlo" section of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (BBC Proms 1991) I have been amazed. The best I have done was conduct my old high school band, but it was only possible by being so inspired by this wonderful conductor! Leonard you are the best conductor I have ever seen!

Thanks, Mr. Slatkin! You hired me back in 1977, and you were always the best! Now, I hope to send a student to you, a talented cellist, and future conductor, I hope!

These videos are the best , I've learned alot from them and thank you very much for being so clear in your explination

These video lessons are excellent, thank you!

This is another lovely thing one can practice when killing time say waiting for a metro!

Very useful as I'm studying time signature and direction right now. Very good and simple teaching. I will definitely subscribe and come back to this channel very often. The direction/conducting movments in my book are exactly The same as you showed. I was just wondering if that are the only movments that are allowed? I noticed that John Williams dosen't always do them. Maybe It's different when it's your own opus'? Are the rules of conducting the same if you conduct a choir/chorus? Thanks a again.

Thanks so much!Very good

Thank you
