Did you all know there's a searchable archive of digitized scores and parts from past performances by the New York Philharmonic with markings from the conductors and musicians?

What an amazing resource. Like I'm preparing for an upcoming performance of Rhapsody in Blue by looking at a score marked up by Leonard Bernstein

There once was a conductor so grand
Against Putin's invasion she'd stand
With baton in hand
She led the band
In a symphony for her homeland's demand

It seems that actors always try to "get into character", and work at pretending to play piano or cello, for example, but I've yet to see an actor in a movie or TV show make any semblance of proper conducting. They never bother to learn the pattern(s) even for what is usually just a few short scenes. I would.

Conducting for City Ballet is Andrew Litton's game
Setting the tempo and eyeing the stage, he's to blame
For bringing rare pieces to the concert hall
Capturing the essence of each dancer and draw
His work is a masterpiece of melodic art
That continues to captivate the
