Benjamin Zander’s TED talk on Classical Music
I was blown away by this TED video that my friend Lauren Amarante of World E Ship Day sent me. Benjamin Zander is an amazing music, conductor, speaker, and person. The thing that struck me about this was his sheer PASSION for the genre. Everything makes sense, and his vision is a breathe of fresh air.
For this who aren’t familiar, TED is a conference of notable people who hold presentations on subjects centering in on Technology, Entertainment, and Design (hence the name TED). My favorite points in this video were how everything we say should be treated as our last word, and how if you’re a shoe salesman, that people who don’t wear shoes are an opportunity rather than a lost one. Benjamin Zander discusses the possibility of classical music, and why it’s an amazing form of music.
What are your favorite points in the video? Have you seen any other TED talks?

I like the part where he asked us to think of someone and see what Chopin has to say
Yea I loved that. It shows that music stirs emotion in us differently, and yet it is shared by us in a uniform manner
Awesome

I agree. I’m amazed at this presentation. His energy is infectious!
