In 10 minutes he made him understand and feel music in its deeper meaning. At the end, this boy wasn’t the same person... Mr. Zander... a great Genius and definitely a human I would love to meet!
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 watched his Ted talk like ten years ago, I was so moved. But now I understand it better, we tend to focus more on make things right but the most important thing is to live it and feel it at the moment.
I love how, by doing the "how fascinating" bit, he made it ok, right from the start for the boy to make mistakes. And instead of being bad things, they became punchlines.
Wonderful! What a transformation! Watch it without the image - it works, too - you can hear the transformation! I love the end - the scenarios Zander invents for members in the audience.... Lovely video.
For comparison on performances 1st time before knowing his crowd and without the masterclass: 0:53 2nd time after corrections and feeling more confident with the crowd: 12:22
Watch his TED talk "shining eyes". He's one of the most incredible teachers I've ever seen speak. His book co-written with his wife Rosamund "The Art of Possibility" is one of my favourite books.
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.
this dude just changed my mind on how teaching is fundamentally....he changes lives even with people who aren't there and in ways he might not even intended....now thats a fuuuuuuhhhrrickin tewacher of a teacher this tyeacher needs to teach teachers how to teach like better teachers like this teacher!!!!
you can tell he loves to teach like this too due to his excited sparratic behavior.. that helps his students learn easier because of his engaging mood!
He’s an inspiring teacher, a great communicator with a lovely sense of humour but alas his comment with reference to someone in the audience ‘You see he’s from Africa, he doesn’t know about these things’ which elicited laughs from the audience was most unfortunate
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).
Mihai Sorohan Man I learned so many things from so little text. Thank you for making this about knowledge and learning, great tone!.Kudos for not falling for the easier trap.
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.
that 'how fascinanting' quote changed my life
Zander is now my new guru.
Hello fellow disciple
I really wish my piano teacher would have been half as inspirational. Nicolai will never forget this experience for as long as he lives
I want to go and take all of his classes. There are teachers and great teachers and then there is Benjamen Zander!
In 10 minutes he made him understand and feel music in its deeper meaning. At the end, this boy wasn’t the same person...
Mr. Zander... a great Genius and definitely a human I would love to meet!
"how fascinating!" is officially my motto now
Zander is really an amazing teacher. Such a great musical mind.
I don't like Benjamen Zander.
@@uzefulvideos3440 - you jelluss?
I guess you are joking, Dude...

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.
I have no knowledge of classical music at all but this man is so amazing that he makes a potato like me understand music.
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)!
Watching this man is so therapeutic! I imagine the young man will always treasure these moments.
i am crying. this is pure love. beautiful
Wow! I'm bursting into tears towards the end. So hard to contain the emotions. Bravo!
This young boy is really courageous, and lucky !
So much fun listening to Zander and learning at the same time…😁
I watched his Ted talk like ten years ago, I was so moved. But now I understand it better, we tend to focus more on make things right but the most important thing is to live it and feel it at the moment.
POWERFUL Transformation from an excellent coach!
What an inspired tutorial... With a teacher like this, Ben's students will actually BECOME 'A' students never mind aspire to such...
Mr. Zander...What a great teacher you are. You are an extraordinary human. Bravo, bravo, bravo !!!
I love how, by doing the "how fascinating" bit, he made it ok, right from the start for the boy to make mistakes. And instead of being bad things, they became punchlines.
I'm a music teacher and I do that with my kids. When there's a weird mistake or wrong note, I make a funny face or after the rep make a joke about it.
Wonderful way to teach
Benjamin Zander's life must be amazing!!
Thank you for this. How delightful and inspiring.
Wonderful! What a transformation! Watch it without the image - it works, too - you can hear the transformation! I love the end - the scenarios Zander invents for members in the audience.... Lovely video.
We absolutely need more people like Benjamen. Inspirational beyond words! Thank-you.
what a teacher! and a great student with his openness is equally impressive! thanks for post!
Dear Mr. Zander you make me to wish for a lottery ticket wining just to have you as my music teacher!
Great, great, great !!! What a shame it was cut short. He really had me going.
Wow, wow, wow! ..... I rode every note and held my breath throughout the last performance. Transformational for me as well. What an amazing teacher.
Benjamin Zander is an absolute gift to the world.
lol - let's make him the CEO of music
For comparison on performances
1st time before knowing his crowd and without the masterclass: 0:53

Constructive instructions to play the cello as a top performer. Bravo!
Learning to play the cello in a :"Ben Zanderisk" fashion!
Mr Zander! You look like a great teacher live your sense of humor
i dont know Benjamin zander , but This video makes him look like a genius
Watch his TED talk "shining eyes". He's one of the most incredible teachers I've ever seen speak. His book co-written with his wife Rosamund "The Art of Possibility" is one of my favourite books.
Gregorio
I believe his smile showed in his playing...but that just me, so glad I got to see this, Thanks!
Loved it! Such a great teacher and communicator!
He’s like the musical version of Bob Ross. There are no mistakes, only happy little accidents.
this guy is absolutly brilliant
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 agree wholeheartedly and had the same wincing pain when I first heard that ill-considered comment.
A wonderful educator!
He is just so amazing!!!!
Love! ❤️ Love! ❤️ Love! ❤️

Truwire33 Hello found another full version at vimeo.com/18625943
ldu03154 thank you fellow earthling
It’s on RUclips now too
He’s an inspiring teacher, a great communicator with a lovely sense of humour but alas his comment with reference to someone in the audience ‘You see he’s from Africa, he doesn’t know about these things’ which elicited laughs from the audience was most unfortunate
it threw me off so much also
He actually look like nicolaj lugansky
Se his for Africa he doesn’t know about there’s things
0:47 i would be pissed too

This is so interesting and someone edited this so insensitively!! Why do such stupid editing on RUclips? People can fast forward!
+vecernicek2, I produced the edited version to show in class to my university students.
Can you upload the whole thing?
please, upload the whole thing!
how fascinating!
"He's from africa, he doesn't know about these things"?

weak sound track
I could've done without that Obama/Biden sticker ruining things toward the end!
What Obama/Biden sticker? I didn't put anything like that in there. ???
***** At 12:43 or so.
William Eshelman lol chill bro
Was on a cello case.

Leadership? Sorry, is this supposed to be happening here?
