The spontaneity and pure joy here are truly inspiring... many musicians I know would benefit from emulating this toddler and getting in touch with their love for music ;D Not to mention the level of talent!

Post by: littletune on December 18, 2010, 08:44:25 PM: But what if this wasn't such a little kid? what if he was like 12 or even a lot more? Would it still be cool and cute and funny? or would it just look stupid then ? :-\ I don't know :) :P

Post by: birba on December 19, 2010, 10:29:22 AM: Well, of course, his age has a lot to do with it. I mean this kid is how old? He's making movements of a seasoned conductor. I'm sure he watched some videos of someone conducting Beethoven, but at the same time, you can see that these movements are not copied. The movement, itself, yes, perhaps, but WHAT it expresses is completely genuine. I mean this kid digs Beethoven - that comes across loud and clear! Listen to him at the beginning when the crescendo starts: he says something like "here it comes!" And, yes, if an older child started picking his nose with his left hand while conducting with his right, it wouldn't be as funny! ;D

I just asked because I sometimes start doing something like conducting too when I listen to music in my room (specially with my headphones on) and then sometimes I don't see my mum come in and she's standing there and watching me and then she starts laughing and then I'm embarrassed :-[ ::) :P

I wish the conductor of my school's orchestra could be half as inspiring.
