The next thing that I want to show you is one way to set up your music stand. There
many other, many different opinions about how conductors should set up their music stand
and some conductors are fortunate enough to have a fancy stand that set. But for most
of us we're probably using these basic music stands. So first I'm going to push it down
where it's waist level. Now when it's set up the way a performer would use it, read
their music it'll get in the way of your conducting playing; so I'm going to push it down like
this, I'm going to spin it around; now I have a flat surface where I can lay all my materials,
I can see my score; I have my baton ready, I have my pencil ready; I have my tuner and
this lid kind of helps hide anything that might be distracting.
