I’m back again with the latest moves I’ve picked up from conductors. If you are tired of simply beating time, try some of the sweet conducting gestures I’ve learned recently.

The Mouth-Breather

When you want to communicate the primitive energy of a knuckle-dragging, uni-browed troglodyte, there is no quicker way then letting people see that you are a mouth-breather.

Swat the Baby’s Bottom

Some scholars rightly place this gesture in the same phylum as the Bruce Lee. The key features distinguishing it are the quick snap of the wrist in combination with a “white man’s overbite”.

Snake Charmer

Another gesture well-known for its tremendous opacity and hypnotic prowess, the Snake Charmer is especially useful for expressive moments when you can’t quite find the beat.

The Nordic Track

A physically demanding gesture only usable by the most aerobic conductors.

The Heisman

When a section of sopranos becomes too aggressive, the Heisman conducting gesture is your best defense. The right hand maintains control of the ensemble while the left hand blocks the notes of potential assailants.
