Uncover the many mysteries of conducting alongside a certified expert in the art: Guillermo Scarabino, Musical Director of Argentina's famed Teatro Colón. In this series of master classes, the maestro talks us through the challenges that face the modern conductor, sharing his wisdom on a wide veriety of subjects ranging from the most artistic to the most practical.
In this second episode, we start by touching upon the main rhythmic patterns of both simple and compound meters, followed by complex meters. The maestro then evokes the most efficient ways to analyze and adapt to different types of rhythms and measures. With practice, subdividing will soon become child's play and you will be able to convey your rhythmic intentions to your orchestra with precision and clarity.
