Materials for Conducting Orchestra

Hi, on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you the preparation you need when you're conducting or rehearsing an orchestra. To be a conductor you need several materials on hand. First and most important, you need the musical score that you'll be working or performing. Secondly, you'll need a conducting baton, and some people use just their hands but for most orchestra or band performances, I prefer, and most conductors prefer to use a baton. I also recommend to have extra parts of the piece you're performing just in case. You need a number two pencil. It's good to have colored pencils for color coding your score, that's done beforehand. And I also recommend having a good tuner and metronome.
