Having a Good Sense of Humor About Yourself Is Critical to Being a Conductor

Having a good sense of humor about yourself is really critical to being successful as a conductor. The methodology of the work am has to change depend where i'm working. If i'm working in japan, it's a very, very different work ethic from, say, london. I saw a master class you were giving on youtube, and you wanted to stop the conductor to give a note. And you and the conductor both held up your hand to stop the play. Sit was a good four seconds before there was silence.
