I have had experiences with both types of directors(those who are expressive and those who just wave their hands). I believe that most of the time the directors just don't know how to express. If they were never had an emotional conductor, then they never really knew what it was like. I saw a real difference in the group that I was in between directors, and I hope that I can be expressive and help the students feel the music just like the experiences that I had. School teachers need to be "real" conductors, that is how the audience stays attentive and understands the meaning of the music. If the conductor isn't helping the students then they can't express the music to the audience, or to themselves!

This is a great question. I would first like to say that as Music Educators, it is our duty to make sure that we give the students the best musical experience possible. In my opinion, We are not conductors until the actual performance. We should be always teaching our students. You can be a great "conductor" but it is far more important to be a better educator and be clear with their conducting than to be a Conductor with bad teaching skills. But really, I don't think that teachers can be considered real conductors. I guess it depends on your definition of a conductor.
