To become an orchestra musician, you must first play an orchestral instrument and be commited to it. Being in an orchestra is hard work and if you are not commited, it won't be a very enjoyable experience. Then you have to find an orchestra. If you are still in school, your school might have an orchestra program. If not, there might be a local youth orchestra. Most orchestras have an audition process to select the musicians, so make sure you have the appropriate repertoire prepared. If you are an adult and have had orchestral playing experience in your youth, you might want to try audition for a professional orchestra. The chances of getting into a professional orchestra are much slimmer than a youth orchestra especially if you are a woodwind/brass/percussion player. Only audition for a professional orchestra if you are seriously commited to your instrument. If you are an adult and have had little/no orchestral playing experience or you don't have the commitment/time to be in a professional orchestra, try find a community orchestra for adults. Community orchestras provide an opportunity for adults who never got to play in orchestras a lot. Generally, community orchestras don't have an audition process and you can just sign up.

∙ 15y agoYou will require college training for this, not only how to conduct, but one will also have to learn about music history, theory, counterpoint, composing, etc. There is lots more - way more - to conducting an orchestra than just waving a baton around in front of a group of musicians.

∙ 12y agoThe main job of the conductor of an orchestra is to get the musicians to play a piece of music in the way he or she thinks is best to make it sound great.
For instance conductors use their hands, arms and facial expressions to signal how loud or soft and how fast or slowly the orchestra is supposed to play the music.

What is meant by Concert Master usually two words is he a conductor assistant CD-R or something akin to an Emcee who announces the acts or was it a brand name of instrument or amp?
Not what the word suggests. he is not the Conductor or maestro, but actually the Lead Violinist or First Violin player of the orchestra.
