For our very first episode of Bach to Basics we chat with conductor, pianist and life coach Dobbs Franks.

We asked him why are conductors so important? What would an orchestra sound like, if there was no conductor? Why does a conductor have a baton? What does a conductor’s score look like, can you describe it? What makes a great conductor? Are there personality types in an orchestra? How do you run a rehearsal as a professional conductor?

And is it lonely being a conductor?
