The article provides information on overconducting, which is usually committed by novice conductors who were not given enough time for training on the podium during their college conducting classes.

It also notes that giving frequent cues and putting excessive gestures are other common conducting mistakes. Furthermore, it stresses that conductors' role is to teach students to make music.
