  • Very nice channel. Thank you for sharing your videos!

  • Great channel! Thanks for sharing your videos!!!

  • I love ted talks and this is no exception

  • Thank you so much!

  • I once sang in a chamber choir with Richard as a guest conductor. We were learning one of Dunstable's masses, and Richard described its isorhythmic, polyphonic structure as “hermetically sealed purity.” He then likened the appearance of tonal harmony as the onset of a “noble rot” in western music. Of course, this was just a playful way of looking at things, but it gave the whole concert programme a character and purpose that made an enormous difference to the performance. A true genius.

  • if only we had more teachers like him...

  • Well done. If we miss this window of youth we never get it back

  • Wonderful presentation. Nicely done!

  • Heard Richard talk on Classic FM early this afternoon and thought he was brilliant so checked him out on net and found this - another fascinating and wonderful talk. I need him to teach me to sing and play music. When I was 14 (now 60) my music teacher gave me a 'D' - everyone else had 'A's or 'B's - I have never dared sing in public again. I LOVE music and listen to a wide variety.

  • This is beautiful and true

  • A timely & lively reminder of the persuasive, liberating and transforming power of music. And I would add, we overrate mathematics in education and tragically underrate music in a child's development.

  • love richard gill!!! so so so so so so so very true!!!!
