Miss Green was a fabulous teacher at The University of Michigan School of Music. She taught conducting and violin, and I was fortunate to have her as a teacher in both subjects. Her conducting and violin books were used by many other colleges and universities.
Wow, I read her book about conducting back in college 40+ years ago, the book with the picture of 'Frankenstein" conducting on the cover...such great to see this!!
@@martinang5265gesture comes from a natural musical instinct generated by the music, not from some abstract exercise. the primary job of a conductor is to demonstrate leadership which can only be accomplished by having a thorough knowledge of the score, the abilities of the players and/or singers, and an understanding of how to structure an efficient rehearsal. too many conductors spend too much time working on a beautiful three pattern...ugh
@@williamcutter3346 I do agree with you that a conductor needs a vision and demonstrate leadership and have a good understanding of the score. However, if one does not develop a good sense of control with their gestures, they may not be able to execute the intention that they want. We don't have to see these exercises as a limitation, but we can make it to good use if we can better express our intention along with our style. Being a conductor is also to be respectful of other people's ways/perspectives of conducting even if you don't agree with them but by criticising others, you're not respecting the art of conducting.
@@martinang5265 Couldn't agree more....the gesture has to be clear and communicative. I should have clarified that I was criticizing the method by which this is taught...which I find mechanical and and pedantic. As a conductor myself, I have nothing but respect for the art of conducting and am simply expressing my opinion and critique based on many years of being a professional.

Heard she was a real hell on wheels!

Wow! Thanks for digitizing this! Trying to decipher some of these exercises from the book without a teacher is tough!
20:00 Amazing. No music, but expression so clear I feel as if I'm in the ensemble performing, feeding off the energy she is providing.
Fabulous upload! Thank you, the Malik/Green textbook was my first, I would have loved this when starting.
Wonderful conducting lesson...thank you
Thanks ! This is a very good practice. Video. This will me . Gain as a new conductor.
thanky you soooo much, the real first video with real exercises, fantastic!
Thank you so much!
Well done! Bravo Maestra! Thank
Thank you Joel. I hope you are doing well and Go Blue!
Great upload thanks! 😁
Great.Thank You.
Muchas gracias por la aportación.
Thank you.
Wow! Thanks for uploading. Is there a video of her with a demonstration of the gesture of syncopation?
muy buen video
Did this and now I can't feel my right hand. xD
Why would a conducting student waste time on these useless exercises?
Mastering the physical kinesthetics behind musical gestures helps said musical gestures become clearer.
Worst aerobics session ever! I didn't even breathe hard.
this is nonsense....talk to any professional conductor and they'll tell you the same
what do you mean?

@@williamcutter3346 I see. Thanks for clarifying, sorry for making a quick assumption. I understand where you're coming from
