A conductor's full score is a chart, a graph which indicates frequencies, intensities, volume changes, melody, and harmony all at once and with the most exact control of time. It is rhythmically based on the subdivisions of time into fractions which must be done instantaneously, not worked out on paper. The semantics of music is the most complete and universal language. Music usually reflects the environment and times of its creation, often even the country and or cultural feeling. It requires fantastic coordination of fingers, hands, arms, lip, cheek, and facial muscles in addition to extraordinary control of the diaphragmatic, back, stomach, and chest muscles, which respond instantly to the sound the ear hears and the mind interprets.
Music is inherent in the very nature of man.
The tiny infant will often respond to a rhythmic sound, beginning to hum even before speaking. Rhythm and music abound in nature all around us - the rhythmic drumming of the surf, the measured meter of rain, the winds, the melodic tunes of song birds. Music is in us, as well. It's an ability inherent in every child, simply awaiting development. Unfortunately some children may never know the joys of creating their own music, exploring their innate abilities, or discovering the joys of this self expression.
