Conduct Us! Will You?

 October 10, 2013 - Life without music is life without happiness. The reason why I took up Bachelor of Music in UIC (University of Immaculate Conception) is because it's the only course that I can improve and later on, showcase my talent in music. We had to take subjects regarding music especially in the orchestra. Thankfully, my teachers in music taught me well and learned so much that I loved music even more!

When I saw a video from my friend entitled "Conduct Us", I asked myself "What will happen if you're conducting one of the best orchestra?" And it's the Carnegie Orchestra who plays the famous piece from Mozart entitled "Marriage of Figaro".

Just imagine, random people conducting an orchestra, setting their own tempo, dynamics, expression, taking extraordinary measures in the piece, it brings a whole new level of music!

If I were to be asked, I couldn't say no to this even though of course, there are hesitations but because I love music so much and it's my dream to conduct a choir or orchestra, I would love to do it and I don't care people watching me doing my stuff!

Now, here's the video that I want to show you guys and just observe these people conducting an orchestra. I was like smiling from ear to ear watching this video. :D

How I wish this will happen in my city specifically in People's Park where they'll set up an orchestra and they let us do the conducting, I would step up and give myself a chance to conduct an orchestra!
Imagine a world without music, what would life be? Music is our life, our source of happiness, joy, freedom, and without music, we can't express what we feel. Without music, life would be full of boredom. Music is the language of our soul. 


Keep the music alive!



P.S.
You really have to watch the video before you comment. Thanks! :D

    How I wish that I pursue a career in music. I love to play piano before when I was young.

    Music gives so much joy to humankind and it should be given a chance wherever the place may be.
    Having the chance to conduct an orchestra is a chance of a lifetime.

    It can be a funny tune if I will be allowed and have the opportunity to conduct an orchestra like what happen in the video. The audience will definitely laugh at me :p

      Not just you but just imagine all of us will do the conducting, I would be clueless on what to do since I have to know the song first. If it's familiar to me, I can give a go signal. :D

    Music does make life a lot more colorful and interesting. It reduces boredom too.

    It would be nice to see a community based orchestra in a park or a common area.

    Conducting a music is something challenging than playing a musical instrument. Everyone or every musician pays attention to the conductor who sets the tempo, the expression and everything for the music like its dynamic and expression as I have said.

    Wow. That's a very nice orchestra. I once dreamed of being part of a group of musicians, having played the piano for so many years. :)
