Our conductor: “what you’re doing is very beautiful, but please stop doing it.”
He’s the sweetest man ever☺️
How nice 👍🏻
One of my choir conductors: "Altos, very well, I'm really touched. BUT..."
@@uzKantHarrison Same with one of my piano teachers. Annoying as hell after a while, because the praise made me anticipate the criticism and became associated with the criticism in my mind.
That's mine sort of he is nice but very professional he makes the band preper early witch cause to be one of the best jhs bands in our district
Echo 360 What?
Here’s my conductor:
Ok go
We play 1 note
STOP STOP STOP ITS ALL WRONG
Plant Lovaaa wow! 😂
My band director did that sometimes but he was actually right.
Plant Lovaaa same here lmao
Omg same😂
thats probably gordon ramsey as a conductor.
I like Brett dancing as the "Interpretative dance Conductor" lol
I know.lol it was pretty funny
I LAUGH REALLY HARD 😂😂🤣
hilarious part ..as well as Eddy's breathing face
The birdie song
I LAUGHED SO HARD HAHAAH
my conductor:
conductor: ok go
whole band: has rest as first note
conductor: THE REST NEEDS MORE FORTE
😂😂😂
HOW TF
It means shut the hell up n stop making noise 😂
Lol that's what my symphony teacher tells us
you have to crescendo your vibes
My conductor has those days when she's like "Let's warm up with this piece." And then we end up playing that song for the entire rehearsal.
Dazzledweeb, YES!! We spend half the time just playing warm-up, and we get NOTHING done.
Similar to my band, but not as bad.
That is really just my choir teacher/conductor🎼
INTONATION
My orchestra is very fortunate to have an awesome conductor, who comes up with a rehearsal plan for the next rehearsal about a week ahead of time and emails it to all of us so we know what to practice. He is also great about sticking to his plan most of the time, the only exception being if we REALLY need to work on something longer than anticipated. As for articulation and tone, he tells us what he wants, but never how to do it. Why? Because everyone's instrument is unique. For example, my stand partner has a factory-made cello that has a fairly dull tone and requires the player to work quite hard, but mine was hand-sculpted with European spruce, maple, and ebony that had been cured for six by a luthier in Germany, and it is much more responsive.
You forgot the elitist, the one who spends 75% of their time on one section/instrument and 25% pretending to work on the rest of the sections/instruments
too true. violin favoritism. . .
@@myrech very relatable
Every string player conductor in history
Veiled Sky that's our conducter!
Also can relate in the choir,that's our teacher.
My conductor is bad at remembering the baton so he sometimes just wave something that vaguely passes as a baton around
it’s usually an expo marker or colored pencil but this one time he used a fork
A fork?! Lol!
💀💀
His own fork? A fork someone volunteered? Where did the fork come from? I need answers!
😂😂🖤
Wait...tuning fork or the fork used while eating?
3:26 I CHOKED ON MY WATER
“The possessed conductor”
What is the piece?
*contemplates sending this to orchestra director*....*decides I would like to keep my concertmaster position*
i'm basically the designated permanent last chair...should i do it? we just got a new director so he kind of really needs it...
Mira Jain Go for it, if you don't care 😂
IVE BEEN DEBATING ON SENDING THESE VIDEOS TO MY CONDUCTOR AS WELL
oh I just sent this to my conductor hahaha
Kyozai Very bold of you!
That "I cant sing conductor" impersonation with violin is on point 😂👌
ryehaaan So glad my conductor can sing and also uses her pitch pipe extensively.
I died
We say "Mr. Peterson, live at the met! Vibrato so wide you could drive a truck through it!"
Eddy’s perfect pitch allowed him to imitate that on the spot.😂
✨p e r f e c t p i t c h✨
4:20 “imagine Beethoven *heard* this
Really?
Heard
Imagine
at 4:20...
What?
NO JSJSKSJSJSJAHX
Yoki Sullivan dont you get it. Beethoven is deaf so he can’t hear what the conductor said imao
Brett: starts singing
Eddy: Time to put my perfect pitch to good use
*good use*
When I am teaching my choir I turn into interpretative dance conductor 😂
Having experienced many choral directors over the years, I think being an interpretive dance conductor is literally an innate requirement haha
haha yeah and its definetly better not to have too much inhibitions xD (I hope this is correct in english, I am not a mother tounge)
I honestly prefer the overly dramatic and interpretative dance ones over stiff ones lol
HinataPlusle Yeah. At least you know dynamics and stuff better.
I'm about to join choir and I have zero clue what to expect... Apparently she throws books.
I hate starting before the orchestra is ready 😂😂😂
or worse: focusing on a section and starting before they are ready.
Like dudeeee you're staring at us; you can *see* that we're not ready
Amos Chua I knw tht feeling 😂😂 it is so embarrassing
more annoying actually hahaha
I cant understand why the conductor did this 😂
me
My conductor:
Forgets the bass section exists.
What I Wish I Could Say:
Well, conductor, I won’t listen to you because you don’t listen to me.
Hehe bass struggles
we are either forgotten or lumped with the cellos
staruchii facts😂
My conductor :
Bassists, I know you are bored but please don’t sleep
Also my conductor :
*ignores bass because he can’t hear us*
The thing about Bass is that no one hears you when you play correctly.
But when you play incorrectly, EVERYBODY notices.
What about the conductor that goes off topic and talks half of the rehearsal?! (That’s my orchestra teacher!)
I have the same sort of conductor.
Roshan Varma’s Fun Fiddler so do i
Yo relatable
@Kopi Bean
You have an interesting teacher... 😅
Same!!!!
Ok story time
I was in an orchestra with literally the worst conductor ever. He was literally somehow all of these things + just rude and stupid and the entire orchestra hated him. He always talked about how much we’d fall apart without him and it was sooooo annoying. So it’s the night of this big concert and we’re trying to compete with other orchestras and he gets suppperrr pissed about the lighting or something like that and we all just ignore him so he gets even more pissed. So then we’re at like the beginning of our first piece and he just walks off. Like just drops his hands, shakes his head, and just walks off the fucking stage like he owns the place. And the thing is, he expected us to all fall apart without him but we just kept playing like nothing had happened (you should have seen his face). So that’s how we played through all our rep (even Beethoven’s fifth) with only the concert master to que us in. And guess what? We got like second and got to play at some cool venues, and the judges noted how he isn’t invited.
Lol that’s my random conductor story thx bye
Edit: wow thx for all the likes and comments haha. What a beautiful community these guys have built. Glad y’all enjoyed my little story
EDIT: Senpai noticed me!!!!!!!
this is the bestttt conductor storyyy
That sounds amazing!
Atlas Winter YOUR ORCHESTRA IS SAAAVAGE
First anarchist orchestra ever 😂😂😂
The dickest conductor and the dopest orchestra
How about the conductor that keeps rehearsing and stopping 0.000003 beats before your entrance??
As a percussionist I can relate to this on a spiritual level.
It hurts so bad.
I see that Hamilton picture...ehe.
omg that’s annoying as hell
yessss so annoying
djlee02 actually same though. I never get to play but atleast I can talk quietly to my fellow percussionist
How not to a good conductor:
Don’t be a tall metal pole in the middle of a thunder storm
BOOM
This is gold!
When one physics major somehow loses their way and ends up in the music department🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
My conductor/violin teacher is the Optimistic one and I felt so bad after our concert
[be me in his lesson]
Teacher: How did you think the concert went?
Me: I feel like we did a good job, but I know I could have done better so I'm disappointed in myself
Teacher: No, no, you did a great job!
Me: No, I really didn't haha
Teacher: No, you were fine! Don't worry about it!
Me: *Vietnam Flashbacks to me not playing half the notes in Mendelsohn or Nielson, being seated next to the cellos and behind our one viola, and sharing a stand with my least favorite person in the orchestra, an aggressively helpful chainsmoking old woman who rushes ALL THE TIME*
Me: hehe, maybe
Me: sits next to my crush
*Ling Ling SFX*
My band director is over dramatic. There was one piece where the cymbals didn’t crash at the right spot, so he just jumped to let them know where they crash.
Random Person why not just clap like mine does. He’ll go through once in the little section they’re having trouble with and clapping the part for them, this method is very effective and doesn’t take much time
@@Dva04 maybe they just wanted to jump..? Hmmm😂😂😂
Conductors are narsissits and have higher rates of pedohpilia than most but I believe politicians were the worst when it comes to rapin children
@@drumsoulo7542 what the fuck where did that come from
*"accidentally" kills concertmaster*
Tanisha Srivatsa but how? I don't get it 😐
Is that a reference to Victor Borge conducting the Smetana Dance of the Comedians?
it wasn't, but it is now
how about the conductor that makes up a metaphor for EVERYTHING
I try really hard not to laugh when that happens, since the others looks so serious (like how?).. the metaphors make it more confusing tho tbh
3:00 I love how he perfectly portrayed Brett's out of tune-ness, perfect pitch goals 😂
1:13 me during the class end of year party.
O conducting technique...
haha
4:22 : "Imagine Beethoven heard this"... I think you're good buddy.
Yes...
Lol true, he's deaf...
Ms. Kittycat And dead
What song is that?
@@herejoey ua-cam.com/video/V5scGL3-VRM/v-deo.html that one / that part
Brett's dancing gives me life
The birdie song
Also my teacher:
Teacher: ok, first violins play your part
**First violins play part**
Teacher: Only first stand firsts play.
**first stand plays part**
Teacher: Only second stand firsts play.
**second stand plays part**
Teacher: Only third stand firsts play.
**third stand plays part**
Teacher: Only fourth stand firsts play.
**fourth stand plays part**
Teacher: Only if your a guy play.
**First violins who are guys play part**
Teacher: Only if you're a girl play.
**First violins who are girls play part**
Teacher: If your name is (**name**) play.
**First violin who has that name plays**
what a waste of time honestly. good for fun but... why dude? ( at the conductor )
Lol
My conductor does that and it makes me so stressed and anxious because I don’t practice orchestra pieces often XD
lol XD
He’s tryna find who didn’t practice i don’t rly care
0:35 me when I remember we have three day weekend.
Multicolored Potato 😂
Multicolored Potato i
What was the song I forgot
You forgot the conductor that makes fun of violas (or even more rare, the one who likes them) 😂
If the -viola- is your favorite instrument, should you deserve to be a conductor at all? You see, -violists- are the complete opposite of how conductors need to be. That's why -violists- end up knocking on doors for *eternity.* They can never find the key *or* when to come in.
*mic drop*
lol
oh that's my conductor, because he IS a violist
Dude it's a joke don't get so tiggered
Kush Groover, TheDesirer282 lol I'm not triggered i was making a joke myself, bc nobody likes violas (joke!) 😂 maybe i should add a smiley to make sure everyone understands
You already know who I am: i'm a violist too 👌
My high school orchestra conductor: huuummmm in minute left.... let’s play through the whole piece
Me: *dies*
play 15 notes a second
@@Monique-fc3gn So amateur. I can play 100 notes in 1 milisecond
The conductor that can’t sing
And the way eddie played
It had me dead💀😂
Do you know the piece used for that example? Sry kind of a noob in classical music?
Mozart symphony no 40, ins
legit use of perfect pitch
I rewatched that so many times, it's so funny 😂 Eddy putting his perfect pitch to good use!
Replay button for anyone who needs it: 2:56
Storytime (hope ur ready for this)
So my school has elementary, middle, and high school all in one. There was this conductor in my old elementary school, and she pretended she knew everything, basically a smart ass. She would always start before the orchestra was ready, and she wouldn't even count the tempo before she began, she just put her hands up and started conducting, and the tempo always changed. She's always complaining how we never start on time, and everyone hated her basically. When I got into high school (yes she was still working there), the conductor was way more professional, and the secondary and primary orchestra joined together for practice. She acted like a smart ass to the high school students, and her habits haven't changed. This is where the karma came in. The principal, who was really into classical music, was watching the rehearsal, and he told the secondary conductor to conduct instead, and even asked "shouldn't you count before you start? It's going to be more effective that way" and needless to say she was embarrased in front of the academy orchestra, the parents who were watching (normally they wouldn't be allowed to), the art department teachers, and an artist in residence. She left the school after that year.
Katelyn Dawnside good
HAHHAHSAHHAHSHA GOOD FOR HER THEN? LOL AHHAHS
we had a science teacher like that, like she owned the place and do whatever she wanted then she had a fight with a male student, smashed a wood chair to him, she resigned after that tho lol
How about the one that goes 100 times faster than what the piece should be
Or 100 times slower cause one of the sections has a super hard part and your just sitting there playing 8th notes
Daily Undertale omg yes I have that too! That’s so annoying and the worst part is that we were playing in a competition smh
in my band, the conductor doesnt do that...
the percussionists do.
or like:
-playing tempo 154 piece for this first time, it sounds messy
conductor: OK guys let's practice it at a lower tempo
-starts conducting in 148
Anne de Groot I have a piece written in 184. We’re currently playing it at 60
"Man...I haven't practised for twenty years."
My conductor is that one dude that is strict, but a good level of strict. At the same time he's super understanding and really funny, and right before a concert he'll talk to us about why we're here and why we're playing our instruments, and he inspires the whole orchestra to do our very best.
Love him a lot! :D
Hahhaha my conductor is always like ; let’s play though the whole thing again bc we still have like two minutes left and then we try to play the whole fifth symphony in 2 mins XD #truestory
Gravity Cat This is our band conductor
Sameee !!!
Gravity Cat dame
Same
YES OMg
The one conductor, that sprints through new pieces, like he is about to win a race...
My orchestra: **In the middle of playing Iditarod by Soon Hee Newbold**
My teacher (all of a sudden): *OK! WESTRIDGE OVERTURE! 1! 2! 3! GO!*
My orchestra: **panicks because nobody even has the sheet music out**
Okay but my used to be conductor always kept us after class to finish that ONE measure we had most trouble on, he wasn't mean or anything, HE WOULD JUST KEEP US AND THE YOUNGER STUDENTS WOULD WALK IN LIKE "Oh god. They sound great. This is like the 27th time they stayed after class." And they would casually wait in the sides till we leave, AND WHEN WE DO LEAVE, WE ALL RUSH TO CLASS AND WHEN WE GET TO CLASS, OH BOY,GUESS WHO WRITES US UP FOR LUNCH DETENTION? t e a c h e r.
Teacher: "YOU'RE ALWAYS LATE TO MY CLASS-"
Me: "You're always yelling at the class- ITS NOT MY FAULT THEY WOULDNT LET US GO-"
Teacher:"NO EXCUSES"
(Day later)
Conductor:"Im gonna let you guys go early since people are getting to class late"
And that was the greatest day of our lives
I’m the 100th like on this comment do I get a prize or something
@@GivemesubscribersIwantacheckma you get a gold star!
It just reminds me of how teachers would say 'class is only over until I say so' even though the class bell always dictate when class time is over.
Anyways, for anyone else who is late to class because of a certain teacher who won't let you go, just say: My teacher said "class is only over until I say so" ;)
Give me 100,000 subscribers, I want a check mark of course ⭐️
Am I the only one who listens to my Italian symphony and feels like Barbie and the 12 dancing princesses
YES
I DEFINITELY DIDNT EXPECT THIS COMMENT OMG HAHAHAH
Felix Mendelssohn Literally exactly what I was thinking of.
YEESSS I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
Tyrala Kristina hey that's embarasing I wrote that thing
As someone who's studying to become a conductor... this was really helpful
You better not be shitty
You forgot the one that almost kills you over every mistake. Like, it's understandable that I was scared of him. But MY DAD was scared of him
Now I've seen a few storytimes in the comments and decided to write about a conducter, that actually exists (not that I call the other stories to be made up).
I occasionally play in an orchestra, where from beginner to professional musicians take part. Now the conducter and organizer of this orchestra, buys, arranges and composes pieces for the different instruments (there are recorders, sax, accordions, etc in there), and levels of the musicians!
Once in every year, mostly in april or May, we meet for a whole week and work on those pieces and in the end we give two concerts, where in the second one even the childrens from the audience are allowed to take part in. Every year there are 50 participants (it caps there, there is no more space on the stage), in the age from childrens (10 y/o, sometimes younger...) to old persons (80 y/o).
Now u can tell we are no professionals, but since we got a few professionals taking part in it regularly, the whole orchestra has improved. Thanks to our conducter's engagement we have at least one week in the year, where we enjoy our time whilst working to one target...
Trust me he has way too much patience with us... There are a lot participants who think they don't have to practice and would get everything right... But in the end, the concerts, while not perfect, are still good, and ppl like it. (why do I think of this aMaZiNg right now...)
Sounds like a great orchestra! I wished I could play in an orchestra with my recorder too...
My personal favorite: "The Soldier" - Stern face, precice movements and absolute discipline. Ok, except the last one...
We've watched this video 3 times. 😂so good!
Duo.Hansen hey there I’m subscribed to you too! Fun to see two channels I love interacting :))
Jessica Lightblossom we love TwoSet! Cool to see you here too. 😁
What a coincidence seeing one of my subbed channels watching my other subbed channel. Oh the sweet harmony.
H33R hey! 😮 this is pretty cool! 😂
I have a few stories. Recently I played with a conductor who could not figure out where the downbeat was. He kept going sideways which was very confusing because I believe we were in a 6 pattern and it's hard enough keeping track of which beat you're on without the conductor confusing you on where the downbeat is. One of the people in the cello section mentioned this very respectfully to him that it would really be helpful if his downbeats were a little more clear. He ripped into that girl like crazy. I was just there kind of helping the orchestral out cuz they can never find enough violins. I decided then and there I was done with that orchestra and I was never coming back. Since I was just volunteering I decided I didn't need to put myself through that much stress and anxiety. One of the people that had asked me to come play told the conductor my feelings and he said he was very sorry and would be better if I came back. I said absolutely not. Here he said he had a conducting master's degree from somewhere. I say boloney. Another story: When I first got into my first Youth Orchestra our conductor was a pretty Savage guy. He would scream at everybody that came in late and make a big deal about it. If you missed your entrance during rehearsal he'd scream at you and make you play it by yourself. if you talked during rehearsal at all he would he would scream at you and kick you out of the orchestra. One time my stand partner was talking to me during rehearsal and I knew better than to look at her and to Respond back so I just looked straight ahead at the conductor. He saw her talking to me and he threw his baton at her. I think it ended up going right between us but at least I saw it coming since I was looking at him. He would make anyone just randomly play the hardest spot in their music in front of everyone else during rehearsal. I remember one time I wasn't coming in at the right spot In a Pizzicato section and he made us do it like 10 times for me and he kept saying every time I was wrong. I am pretty sure by the second time I had it right cuz my eyes were glued to him the entire time but he still made the entire Orchestra do it over and over and over. One time I was late to rehearsal because the bridges were up and I couldn't get to that side of the city. He screamed at me for about 10 minutes in front of the whole Orchestra. I was only 2 minutes late.
He wasted more time yelling at you for being late than you did by being late lol
Moral of the story? Dont come in late when a lot of people depend on you being on time..
Gilgamesh if an orchestra is dependent on one person then that’s a pretty shitty orchestra
I had a calculus teacher that made you get a late pass if you were 0.5 SECONDS late.
@@gilgamesh4869 yes just use your magneto powers to lower the bridges
4:04 It's interesting seeing their older videos after watching some of their storytime-type videos, because you get to see what kind of experiences their sketch videos were based on
Omg all of these are too real😂
My conductor isn’t fake😂if we sound horrible he’ll basically say,”that was so horrible,you guys sound like sh*t”.But he’s pretty cool😂
2:01 omg, Eddy's face 😂😂😂

See our band director can’t sing OR play
Since he has teacher chops
And he’ll bust out his euphonium and play something we’re struggling with as an example
He’s a better teacher than a player, he’ll miss and crack notes because he’ll try and read like clarinet music and it’s just
ughhhhhh
YaLikeJazz? Legit my orchestra conductor rn, we all get so confused
Conductor: "watch the articulation, you got to breathe"
Strings: *breathes through nose
Wind: "say sike one more time"
That's just shade at every bad conductor they've had through the years😂😂
If you guys would list the pieces you use in your videos in the description, my life would be a lot easier.
Leeanna Spellman i couldn't remember the name either, but i found it using this website: www.musipedia.org/ (it's amazing)! Anyways, it's Gustav Holst- Jupiter
Leeanna Spellman It's from the planets by gustav holst, "Jupiter". Used to play it in the orchestra
Ano 1 Subturma18 Mozart's 40th symphony
What about at 2:50? What is that?

Emilie :D 😂
Emilie :D 😂😂😂
I thoughout I saw Andy Lee in Tim Burton's Hansel and Gretel
Amazing
Orchestra: plays to measure 21 before someone messes up.
Conductor: ok ok back to measure 9
To be fair, many people would prefer to keep playing that part of Holst's Jupiter.
Not an orchestra, but one time my choir got invited to 'help out' in a mater class for conducting. There was this one old lady whose hands kept on trembling the whole time and she complained about us not following her on a song full of syncopation :)
The one where the conductor can't sing had me SQUEALING LIKE A PIG, I was really crying. You guys hit the nail on the head again and again and again. 11/10.
me:
conductor: yOU'Re DoInG iT WRONg
me: i'm not even doing anything-
I HAVE MASSIVE PARALYZING BACK PAIN TODAY and... *this was so funny, I hurt myself laughing so much*
no joke, I'm in legit agony, but I couldn't stop watching this :'D dammit!
I personally love the interpretative dance conductors. They're usually really funny and are a great source of amusement to get me through boring rehearsals.
you guys working sooo hard!
think I've sneaked your previous video at work couple of hours earlierㅋㅋ you guys currently firing up my classical enthusiasm. started to pick up my cello and got hands on bach thanks!
:D YASSSSS
BRETT
My conductor started putting clothespins on people's bows like if they used too much. It was funny
And then there's this one who is always contradictory to himself about what he told earlier...
Running through the piece right before rehearsal time is over - SO RELATABLE!!!!
All the dislikes are probably from conductors like this. 🤣
"My spine is broken.." --- 'No excuses!!' XDDDDD
Miko Irfanti this had me wheezing 😭🤣😂😅
My conductor once asked the bass clarinet player"were you rushing or were you dragging?"
I FREAKED OUT.

Dude probably saw the movie too and wanted thought it would be funny if he did that
@@alonsan3977 tbf that's a pretty common question to be asked in orchestra
3:23 - i coudnt stop laughing, the impression was just so well done! :D
I hate conductors that finish rehearsals early. If I come to play for an hour, *I want to actually play for an hour.*
christian raduns good point but in certain cases you’re just sitting there half the time and it’s a 3 hour rehearsal on a Sunday afternoon and you just wanna get home and finish homework and bake yourself a cake
Such dedication 👏👏
Noxshade definitely
My rehearsals last for 3 hours so when he finish the rehearsal early I'm happy
@Noxshade same!!!!!!
Hahaha this is so accurate!
Especially the “let’s run it through in five minutes” conductors XD
0:31 Daniel Barenboim
0:35 Pieter Jan Leusink
3:23 Leonard Bernstein
3:37 Everyone conducting The Rite of Spring
I had a shitty conductor once. He stank of weed and cigarettes, and since I’m a flute I get up real close so every move he made I’d get a full blast of this stench. He’d barely conduct, maybe get us a bar into it and then he’d usually just leave. One time he was very strict that we’d get a five minute break to stretch our legs, then he absolutely had to be back or we were gonna be kicked out and he came back twenty minutes later and stole a pair of sunglasses from someone’s stand and left for another ten minutes and came back without them. No one really knew what to do so we’d just keep going.
One time he didn’t show up after we finished a song so a trumpet took over and he managed to find a baton somewhere and then got so into the conducting he hit the stand with the baton and it flipped out of his hand and was gone for at least five seconds before it landed on my shoulder and left a bruise the size of a tennis ball. He was super apologetic but managed to do about the same thing two minutes later, except this time he did some sort of wizardry and actually caught the baton and kept going before it could hit me again
wait, ur suppose to look at the conductor?
as fas as I know yes, because conductor who control the tempo, and etc
What do you think the conductor's purpose is?
Lol yes
Alex95sang the conductors purpose is to conduct and cue the dynamics
He or she keeps us in tempo
Hannah Ly I know its purpose as a horn player. I wondered what Hk Hjg thought it was
2:25
"WERE YOU RUSHING OR WERE YOU DRAGGING?!"
Were you russian or dragon?!?!?
My dad is a conductor and I showed this to him and he said that he sometimes is the Interpretative dance conductor, because musicians are kinda boring of playing the same piece again and again so to a media for entertaining them, enjoy the music and not get bored he does a little moves with his feets and his back. But always trying not to confuse they with the tempo or something like that
00:30 - 00:45 tbh idk why I thought this was the funniest thing in the world
How about the really quiet conductor you can't ever hear because you're a percussionist
Oooh.. that won’t be fun 😂
Yeah. Ear problems.
3:57 can we just appreciate that perfect cue lol 😂😂😂😂
I have no musical background (or talent) but the pure comedy quality of the "changing the tempo on the day of the concert" bit had me in stitches.
I should totally be a conductor
Tanisha Srivatsa I totally agree ^^
What about the one that kisses up to the prodigy or the directers son/daughter?? THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY
Yes, had the daughter in our chior and wow she was... not bad but not amazing. Yet, she could do no wrong in the conductor's eyes. She was also a massive bully but she got away with murder. Yet anyone else would get yelled at if they came even close to making her kind of mistakes.
4:23 omg its Jupiter! This is one of my favorite songs I've ever played

Our conductor always says, “Wow good job guys I am so proud and honored to teach such a talented group of instrument players.” When we play a scale that has like three notes and we are off tempo and off tune
Have you ever had a conductor who says that the concert was the best performance yet when honestly, it was bad and the rehearsals were better? (I was commenting this in the middle of the video so sorry if it was already shown)
If the last rehearsal goes well, the concert doesn't. If the last rehearsal goes badly, the concert goes well.
Alright story time.
i had the best orchestra teacher when i was in 6th grade. So she got pregnant, and didn’t come back for 7th grade. Now we have this tennis player who actually CANT play the violin. (That’s what the majority of my orchestra is) is yelling at us over and over again if ONE person makes a mistake. So i will never forget this one time, he wanted us to tap our feet. Non of us were, so he starts stomping on the ground, yelling, TAP YOU FEET!!!!!!! (Yea he sad “you”) we all just stopped playing and started tapping our feet. He got so pissed off, that he threw MY 600 dollar violin across the room. I got so mad, i ran out of the room, got his violin and threw it. I got suspended, but he also got something.
A lawsuit.
@@jc.8112 It's like when you have an honors geometry sub, but they don't know the area of a triangle or what a median line is--and give you the homework that on the sheet given to them by your ACTUAL teacher says in bold, "DO NOT GIVE HOMEWORK" and "NO HOMEWORK". True story, and very frusterating. She also would actually raise her voice to shush our whispering bc we were confused, bc y'know, *she didn't teach us anything and doesn't know geometry*
I've also had an Algebra sub who kept making basic math mistakes over and over again, and starting yelling at us that, and I quote-- "A PERFECT SQUARE, IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE: A PERFECT SQUARE"
sounds legit.
@@nivis8550 It could be true. My spanish teacher suddenly left at the start of this school year (2018-2019) and now we have a teacher who gives us worksheets and can barely speak a word of spanish correctly and we have had her for the whole year since september.
@@thedoveyparkchop4162 The incompetence of the teacher isn't what I doubt. I'm talking about the part where he throws the $600 violin across the room. And the part where everyone stops playing and tapping their feet lmao. Or the part where the dude who doesn't play violin owns a violin. Things just don't add up.
Maybe he meant the teacher was very bad at violin and not that he cant play at all.
Conductor: Stands completely still, looks like they’re sleeping standing up
Us: Doesn’t play
Conductor: YoU mIsSeD iT!!!1!1!1!11!!!
At choir, we had a conductor who clapped so much at us (to keep the rhythm i guess) he actually bruised his hands
