Conducting is the art of directing a musical performance by way of visible gestures.

Conductors act as guides to the orchestras and/or choirs they conduct. They choose the works to be performed and study their scores to which they may make certain adjustments, work out their interpretation, and relay their ideas to the performers. They may also attend to such organizational matters such as scheduling rehearsals. Orchestras, choirs, concert bands and other sizable musical ensembles often have conductors.
