Is classical music dead? Or does everyone love classical music?
Does it matter what we say?
What does it mean to play the piano with one buttock?
Is anyone actually tone deaf?
What is success? Can your life be transformed?
Here is a master teacher – conductor Benjamin Zander – and his TEDtalks answers to all that and more. Like all good teachers Zander sees his job as awakening possibility in others and making eyes shine. Watch him at work with a class size of 1600.
