Conducting Patterns

The document provides guidance for conductors on leading an ensemble effectively. It recommends that the conductor lead the group and be prepared by knowing all parts of the music score. Conductors should use clear patterns with their right hand to indicate beat, cues, dynamics, articulations and expressive qualities. The downbeat on beat one is the most important to communicate clearly. Cut-offs should be indicated with a downward motion. Conductors should make eye contact and ensure their patterns, cues and expressions are obvious to the ensemble.
