Benjamin Zander is the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra and a professor at the New England Conservatory. After watching several of his videos, it makes me wish that I could have had a cello teacher with that much enthusiasm and wisdom.

Last time I wrote about him it was to post a video of his presentation at TED. This time he is speaking at Pop!Tech about embracing challenges and inspiring enthusiasm and excitement in others.

If the video doesn't work work, open the Pop!Tech site.

Makes ME want to take cello

Makes ME want to take cello now too! Wow! Can you imagine those old folks at the nursing home had we played like THAT for them? They would all still be alive! (ooo, that sounds bad, like our music killed them. No. We didn't kill anyone with our music, I was just thinking it was a long long time ago . . . ) You get what I mean! :)

We need a whole lot more 'one

We need a whole lot more 'one cheek playing' in life! Zander is an inspiring person!

Ahh.. the good old days, playing at nursing homes and such.
