　　Music can make us feel happy or peaceful,energize us to dance,or move us to tears.As an orchestra conductor,Amy Andersson allows people to experience the many feelings that music can inspire.

　　Andersson fell in love with music as a child.She sang in school choirs and musicals starting in first grade,began studying piano at age seven,and started composing at age nine.Although her school district had no orchestra,she says,“I bought many recordings of the world’s great orchestras and conductors and listened to them for hours on end.”

　　During a concert,the audience sees the back of a conductor and the arm movements she or he uses to lead the orchestra.What audiences do not see is all the work the conductor has done beforehand to prepare for the performance—first alone,and then in rehearsals(排练) with the orchestra.

　　Months before a concert,Andersson studies a piece of music by playing it on the piano.She decides how she wants each section to sound.Should it be fast or slow?Loud or soft?She listens to recordings,reads about the composer’s life,and reviews historical events that would have influenced the composer.Her goal is to recreate the music as the composer intended.

　　Each instrument contributes unique sounds to a musical performance.Although it is not necessary for conductors to know how to play all of the instruments,they must be familiar with the range and sound of each instrument in the orchestra.
