Have you experienced listening to music and finding yourself
clapping, stomping and conducting?
A conductor is the leader of a group of musicians who
helps them produce good music together. He directs them by
waving his hands or making use of a stick called a baton. He
communicates with them by making gestures when he wants
them to sing or play instruments in soft, loud, slow or fast manner.

Conducting 6/8 Time Signature
In conducting, the first beat is always the down beat.
Conductors give preparatory beat prior to the starting of a
musical piece. In 6/8 time signature there are six beats in a
measure and an eighth note receives one beat. It is a
compound time signature of 6/8 time signature. That is why
time signature is called compound duple. The counting
pattern for 6/8 time signature is 1, 2, 3, 4,5, 6.
