I remember someone once expressing surprise at the fact that I was an avid fan of pop music, thinking that I only listened to classical music (shock, Robin is a Kylie fan!). Classical music has always had the power to move me. It can be tremendously uplifting and always very emotive.
Recently I had the good fortune to watch Benjamin Zander present his TED Talk on classical music. Someone very close shared this with me and I am doing the same.
Two things strike me. Firstly, Chopin is one of my mother's favourite composers. Secondly, after having the luxury of watching kindergartners in a music class the other day, one comes to see just how powerful and important the role of all genres of music are in our lives.
Watch Benjamin Zander and follow the line.
