After working with Yaron in January..I found him empowering and inspiring. This guy is a genius and I recommend everyone take notice and hang on his every word. He literally changed my career...
In my experience there are plenty of young people who don't think that they can either play an instrument or sing. If I throw you a ball will you kick it back or start a dialogue about technique and being a footballer. Yaron has given a powerful and brave demonstration of what it takes to approach an instrument for the first time.
A music teacher once told me - A musician is a person who sees himself as one. It doesn't have a lot to do with your level of technique or knowledge. As long as you are doing it that is what you are.
@@biddlelove2135 it doesn't make you one because ur not driving the plane.. but i think what this person meant is it doesn't matter what level you are on or what technique you are doing, if you are doing what you love and you keep doing it, and you believe in your abilities and creations. that makes you a musician
This is great! He is absolutely right. We focus too much on the details while a real artist is just a channel to translate energy intuitively. Skills will only truely work when you don’t have to think about them. So just focus on the feeling first, that’s the basis you will always need at whatever level you play.
As a musician myself, I currently have the pleasure of working with Yaron and I have to tell you, you couldn't be more wrong. "Fun" doesn't even begin to the experience, he's an amazing teacher, musician and person.
about 6 I decided to have ago at playing a musical instrument, got cheap clarinet, off Ebay. I've got no intention of becoming a professional musician, just fancied learning a new skill. last time I attempted an instrument recorder, was when I was a kid (40+ yrs ago)not bothered with having lessons. I've surprised myself in that I can now, blow some fairly recognisable tunes, not perfect. I really enjoy playing & also noticed some really positive side effects, on things improved hand/eye coordination.
I play a few instruments and I have a love/hate relationship with it. I love that I can pick each one up and adequately play. The thing I hate about it, is that I am never satisfied with my level of play. I am more critical of what I can't do, rather what I can do.
HAHA met yaron and saw a side to him that was a joy and pleasure he is what you see a lovley soul a real teacher beyond the music is where he lives and to be honnest he dose not drum .....he breaths in rythm in such a way that ego has no place in his world the man is a genius a realy nice one PAY ATTENTION he dosnt waste his time or yours :)
I think the more educated musician, would rather impress themselves with the technique they know and feed their own ego, rather than connect with an audience. I've seen many impressive musicians with incredible technique on RUclips, who bore me to no end. At first, a great musician who has mastered technique with their instrument can sound good the first few minutes you hear them play. After a certain time period. music being played by that person can sound long winded. I've heard musicians who can play for example, play a few basic chords on guitar or piano and move me emotionally.
what's the problem? he mentioned there were different levels of playing. that's also quite obvious. regarding that not everyone would want to be professional, everything's acceptable.
I would rather hear the uneducated musician, than the pompous educated know it all. I think the uneducated musician has more soul and has to rely more on instinct, than the much more educated one. That's just my opinion.
I think - people dont learn instrument because of age. I am too old to start - we all C young (6years old) skilled players so in 30 has to be late for us.

They were wrong! If I think I'm a pilot it doesn't make me one.

I have been struggling to enjoy the viola for a while now, and this REALLY helped me.
This made me cry.

Were you able to change your focus?
I think you shoulg focus on one instrument
Yaron is THE MAN.

I love this video
Lovely video ❣️❤️👌....He made my fears fly away👍👍
Wow, This is excellence.
what's the problem?
he mentioned there were different levels of playing. that's also quite obvious.
regarding that not everyone would want to be professional, everything's acceptable.
That was damn good

It's never too late to feel :-)
@@YaronEngler You've opened my eyes sir! I bow down to you with respect! I will finally buy that guitar and give it a shot!
This is a myth. Unless your body is broken in fundamental ways, anyone can learn to play anything at any age
Everyone who raised they hand know how to play hot cross buns
trying to learn how to play music! hello everyone who's doing the same lol
Just picked up a bass. I have no idea 😂😂😂😂
4:36 ,My god. HAHHA
I know right 🤣
Lol that was righteous!
hahaha!
I feel so bad because this is such an important talk that has been beautifully delivered but the audience is just so unenthusiastic.
Wtf is the knick ?
Cringey but insightful.
