Hello and welcome to NPR's Class Notes.
2
I'm Alison Young.
3
Have you ever wondered what a musical conductor actually does?
4
Well, I certainly have.
5
And today, that's exactly what we're going to look at.
6
Bye.
7
- Thank you.
8
Thank you.
9
Thank you.
10
This person is called the conductor.
11
The conductor is the person who keeps all the musicians of the orchestra and their different instruments together and on track.
12
But a conductor does much more than that.
13
What do the arm waving and all those other gestures mean?
14
You might even wonder why a conductor is needed in the first place.
15
If the musicians in an orchestra know the music in front of them and are following the score,
16
Can't they just perform on their own?
17
Today we're going to meet a conductor and learn what she does.
18
Her name is Sarah Hicks, and she's led some of the best professional and student orchestras in the world.
19
She'll help us understand what's behind a conductor's leadership
20
and how the back and forth she has with the musicians on stage creates great music.
21
Hi everyone and welcome.
22
I'm Sarah Hicks and when I'm conducting an orchestra there are
23
so many things that I have to know and feel all at the same time.
24
First and foremost, I have to know the music inside and out what the notes are, how fast or slow they are, how soft or loud they are,
25
and how they all add up together to create phrases and melodies.
26
I also need to know the instruments the musicians are playing, what they sound like by themselves, what they sound like together, and what the effect is on me and the audience.
27
In an orchestra, there are four families of instruments.
28
the woodwinds, the brass, the percussion, and the strings.
29
And since they're not all playing together at the same time, I need to know how to cue instruments to bring them in.
30
Also important to know is the rhythm of the music, the time signature, Is it in 2 -2?
31
Is it in 3 -4?
32
Is it in 4 -4?
33
My gestures tell the musicians what to do.
34
And finally, since musicians are spread across the stage, I need to know how to get their attention all at the same time so we can start together.
35
And when the music is ending, how to stop together.
36
Let's talk about time signature here.
37
So that music you just heard was by Engelbert Humperdinck from his opera Hansel and Gretel.
38
It was in 4 /4.
39
So let me do it again and I want you to watch my hands.
40
One.
41
Two three, four, one, Two.
42
3. Four.
43
You want to try it all together?
44
Yeah!
45
So take your right hand.
46
I'll take my left hand.
47
We're going to start up here.
48
are gonna go Down, to the left, to the right, A.
49
Down?
50
Across, across, across.
51
Oh!
52
One two, three, Four, and that's your four, four pattern.
53
Let's try one more beat pattern, this time not 4 /4, but 3 /4.
54
And this is music from the Concerto 4 Orchestra by the Polish composer Witold Ludoslawski.
55
Did you notice a different beat pattern?
56
So instead of four beats, there are three beats.
57
And it looks something like this.
58
One.
59
Two.
60
3 One to Three.
61
Want to try that?
62
Yeah!
63
Take your right hand, my left hand, down to the right, Ah.
64
Down.
65
Right?
66
Up.
67
One, two, three.
68
And that's your three four beat.
69
It's fun, isn't it?
70
Yeah.
71
But remember, as a conductor, everyone's eyes are always on you.
72
And the musicians are counting on you to keep the time and to keep them together, and also to help them express what the music's all about.
73
- So does anyone have any questions?
74
Yes, Gaby.
75
How does the conductor show the orchestra when to play loud or soft?
76
Two ways.
77
I can make them play loud by making my gestures bigger.
78
and soft by making my gestures smaller.
79
Or I can raise my arm, or lower my arm.
80
Yes, Olivia.
81
How does the conductor show the orchestra how to play fast or slow?
82
Well, I show them with the speed of my beat.
83
I can start at one tempo, and then I can speed up my beat to make them faster.
84
or slow down my bead to make them slower, and they'll follow me.
85
Henry.
86
How do you let musicians know when to start playing?
87
I usually give them a cue.
88
sometimes with my hand, sometimes with my finger, and sometimes if I know they're going to be too loud, with my whole hand like this.
89
Sala!
90
Who's your favorite composer to conduct and why?
91
It changes every day.
92
Sometimes it's Mozart because I love his precision, sometimes it's Mahler because he's so emotional, and sometimes it's Leonard Bernstein because he's bubbly and boisterous.
93
Yes, Gaby.
94
What made you decide you wanted to be a conductor?
95
Well, I was a concert pianist when I was in my teenage years.
96
I hurt my hands and so couldn't play the piano, but my dad told me you can still hold a stick.
97
And so I started conducting when I was 17.
98
Thank you.
99
So now you know the conductor is not just some funny or unnecessary person waving their arms around.
100
They're actually the leader.
101
They guide the musicians to play together and make the best music they can.

Kontext & Hintergrund

In diesem Video erfahren wir von Alison Young und der Dirigentin Sarah Hicks, was die Rolle eines Dirigenten in einem Orchester umfasst. Es wird erläutert, wie ein Dirigent die verschiedenen Musiker und Instrumente koordiniert, um harmonische Musik zu schaffen. Sarah Hicks teilt ihre Erfahrungen und das umfassende Wissen, das erforderlich ist, um ein Orchester effektiv zu leiten. Die zentrale Frage ist, was genau ein Dirigent tut und welche Fähigkeiten er benötigt, um ein erfolgreiches musikalisches Zusammenspiel zu gewährleisten. Dies bietet Lernenden die Möglichkeit, durch den Dialog und die musikalischen Beispiele Englisch zu lernen.

Top 5 Phrasen für die tägliche Kommunikation

  • „Hast du dich jemals gefragt, was ein Dirigent tut?“
  • „Ich muss die Musik in- und auswendig kennen.“
  • „Ich brauche auch die Aufmerksamkeit der Musiker.“
  • „Wie schnell oder langsam ist das Stück?“
  • „Lass uns das gemeinsam ausprobieren.“

Diese Phrasen sind nützlich, um das Gespräch über Musik und die Rolle eines Dirigenten zu beginnen. Durch das Üben dieser Ausdrücke im Alltag können Lernende ihre Fähigkeiten im Englisch sprechen üben und die Englische Aussprache verbessern.

Schritt-für-Schritt Shadowing-Anleitung

Um die im Video gelernten Konzepte effektiv zu verinnerlichen, können Lernende die folgende Schritt-für-Schritt-Shadowing-Anleitung verwenden:

  1. Video ansehen: Schauen Sie sich das Video an und achten Sie auf den Kontext und die Körpersprache von Sarah Hicks. Beachten Sie, wie sie ihre Anweisungen gibt.
  2. Phrasen wiederholen: Wählen Sie einige der oben genannten Phrasen und wiederholen Sie sie laut. Versuchen Sie, die Betonung und Intonation aus dem Video zu imitieren.
  3. Shadow Speech üben: Spielen Sie das Video Abschnitt für Abschnitt ab. Hören Sie sich die Erklärungen an und wiederholen Sie sie gleichzeitig. Dies hilft, Ihre Englisch lernen mit YouTube Fähigkeiten zu verbessern.
  4. Aussprache fokussieren: Konzentrieren Sie sich auf die Aussprache, insbesondere bei schwierigen Wörtern oder Sätzen. Nutzen Sie die Möglichkeit, Ihre Stimme aufzunehmen und mit dem Original zu vergleichen.
  5. Regelmäßig üben: Integrieren Sie diesen Shadowing-Prozess in Ihre wöchentliche Lernroutine, um kontinuierlich Fortschritte zu machen.

Diese Technik, bekannt als shadowspeaks, fördert nicht nur das Hörverständnis, sondern auch die mündliche Ausdruckskraft. Viel Erfolg beim Üben!

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
