Conducting is not a theoretical discipline that can be mastered solely through books, lectures, or passive observation. It is an art that requires real-time interaction with musicians, deep listening skills, and the ability to shape sound dynamically. No amount of theoretical study can replace the hands-on experience of standing in front of an orchestra, feeling its collective energy, and making immediate artistic decisions.
