Of the gazillion hours of Benedetti Foundation videos I've watched, this one hit me the most directly. In my early 20's I studied conducting under Herbert Blomstedt and Jon Robertson (among others), fell into the self-questioning trap, and eventually decided music (as a profession) was not for me. But I can't complain. The lessons and habitsI learned from music in general, and specifically from conducting, served me very, very well as a leader in both the military and later in business. I always knew they gave me an advantage over my peers. I think they helped my be a better parent. I think they helped me be a better person. But in a million years, I could never have expressed nearly as eloquently nor effectively as Karina just did, just why that would be. Thank you Karina, Nicola and everyone in the Benedetti Foundation for producing these videos. I just love what you are all doing. You are truly providing a once-in-a-generation experience.
I came here to listen to Karina's chatting her conducting journey only by chance that I recently have watched her conducting the Violin concert with the great violinist Lisa Batiashvili, which is so fantastic and now I am aware of why that performance was so successful because Karina herself was a violinist as she told us that she had never thought of being a conductor in her earlier age of 5 to 25. I have immediately been attracted by her talking about the space repetition concept and learning strategy because I am an English-Mandarin interpreter based in Beijing. Jason

Dear Nicky: two things: a) try to speak less; or b) find something more interesting (for you) to do.
