Leading Like the Great Conductors

This comes to us cour­tesy of TED Talks. Here, Itay Tal­gam, an Israeli con­duc­tor, talks about the art of lead­ing an orches­tra and shows the styles of six great 20th-cen­tu­ry con­duc­tors. Ulti­mate­ly, there are some gen­er­al lessons here. Lessons about lead­er­ship. Give it a few min­utes, and it gets going. Mean­while, on a relat­ed note, you might want to check out Yale’s new open course, Lis­ten­ing to Music, which uses clas­si­cal musi­cal to make sense of music more gen­er­al­ly. Thanks Vick­ie for the great find.
