How to listen like a musician | Melissa Reiner | TEDxLondonBusinessSchool

Melissa Reiner talks about how to listen to the music in your everyday life and surroundings
Melissa Elena Reiner brings her unique musical sensibilities to a wide variety of professional endeavours. Classically-trained as a violinist since the age of three, she received a Bachelor of Music degree from the Peabody Institute of the Johns Hopkins University (Baltimore, USA). Melissa has performed with many of the world’s most famous musicians, including Adele, Andrea Bocelli, Oscar-winner A.R. Rahman and Justin Timberlake.
With a passion for all music besides her first love of classical, Melissa pursued a less-traditional path than most violinists, beginning her career in Los Angeles recording for shows like “Family Guy”, the Grammy Awards and American Idol. After relocating to London four years ago, she continues to perform and record in a variety of mediums including: “Phantom of the Opera” in the West End, at the BBC Music Awards with Calvin Harris and Ellie Goulding, and on films like “The Theory of Everything” and “The Hobbit”.

I wish this had more views. It’s educational and communicated the information effectively. I appreciate this a lot

[@boazpatlur2]

Every time is listen to music I try to listen and count for the timing and I also listen to inflection of voices and key changes

Love this! Such a simple message yet it's these basic tools which enable the pleasure and satisfaction we get from music. Thank you, Melissa

I like it - sums it up pretty much - good insight into one’s learning journey on the saxophone- thanks for sharing - perhaps interact with a demo on the sax or instrument - thanks

As a hobbyist guitarist, I may have developed a little bit of this skill. There is one pop song that is very popular for wedding party. My guess is that song uses minor chord especially in the chorus. Obviously this is a happy song. Yet, I hate it so much. To me the chorus is little bit similar to the chorus of Mr Big song called "where are they now". I don't know the meaning of this song but it can't be a happy one. Since I'm very familiar with Mr Big's song, listening to this chord progression within a happy song is very annoying.

[@benjamingooch8723]

was her PowerPoint broken? She kept clicking like something behind her should be helping her present.

[@randyhigginson8190]

She was probably clicking a teleprompter. I have to think she would know if the powerpoint was broken.

[@toxic_narcissist]

PowerPoint in 2015 LOL

[@benjamingooch8723]
