Guides the musicians on when and how to play as in soft or loud and the tempo of the music.

Er - there's a little more than that involved in being a conductor! The conductor works with the members of the orchestra in order to achieve her/his conception of how the music should be presented. This includes such basic technical components as dynamics and tempo, and ensuring that everyone keeps to time. But it also includes the more complex elements of a performance, such as how to convey the emotional weight of the music: how each phrase of music should be played, how each group of players should integrate its contribution into the whole, and so on, in order to deliver the conductor's vision of the composer's intentions.
