  • Heavily edited version of Benjamen Zander's 2008 Pop!Tech presentation for use in a university "Leadership" course.
    With charismatic, subject expert, motivational leadership, Benjamen Zander transforms 15-year-old cellist Nikolai from a nervous and self-conscious student to a 'performer' before our very eyes.
    Very inspirational video.

    This is surely an enlightenment for me. When I play the violin I was so focused that I often forgot the essence of it - which is to enjoy it.

    Make the notes really beautiful so the listeners care about what happens to it, and that's the only reason to practice...what a wonderful way to summarize the essence of performance (and to avoid performance anxiety)!

    I LOVE this man and find him incredibly uplifting and inspiring…that’s why it’s disappointing that in the midst of sharing beauty and light, he chose to disparage an entire continent with a backhanded slight of the conditioning we’ve all been subjec to….that someone from Africa couldn’t possibly understand this music. I’m certain it wasn’t meant to hurt, but I’m also certain it’s not necessary and reflective of this man’s lovely soul.

      Yes, J.S.Bach is an European composer.
      Yes, the African tonal system is not the diatonic system we use in classical music.
      Yes, the traditional African music doesn't really have minor or major concept, that's why in modern music influenced by African concepts (jazz, blues, rock) you have "blue notes" which is basically minor thirds over a major chord (sometimes with a bend so it's in between).

      Ru Kojo Lemer If that was about my comment, then, no. There are tetratonic, pentatonic and hexatonic systems, in many cases based on harmonics. The tetratonic seems to miss completely the third (which give the quality of major or minor of a scale).
      If you have different information please share. Any extra information is appreciated. I'm not a specialist in African traditional music. We leaned a bit on that (just scratched the surface) in the jazz history classes in my music university.

    How is this good teaching? He's literally trying to make the boy as uncomfortable as possible. The pressure was already unbearable, Zander then tries making the boy fake smile while under pressure in front of a huge crowd? Who is capable of that? Then he places the boy in front of a random guy who we are not sure even enjoys the music, to try and make him feel emotion? I can't even imagine how uncomfortable this boy is at this point.
    Just because Zander is brilliant does not make him a good teacher, clearly.
