I believe that my TED talk speaker, Benjamin Zander, thinks that there is no limit to art. I chose this TED talk because I personally listen to classical music and I strongly agree with Benjamin when he says classical music can affect anyone. He does believe you can make a larger impact with your art by the way you present it and by the way you think of it. The type of art he talks about is music, classical music to be specific. He also believes that it can impact everyone. Literally everyone, it does not matter who you are, if you can hear then classical music can affect you. The music can change how you think and feel. It reminds you and makes you think of specific times which impacts how you feel. He says how he was even able to make an impact on children, he is able to make them listen and feel a certain way with classical music. He influences a large group of people with the songs he plays. He proves that art can have a major impact on a large amount of people no matter who you are.
I really like how you are able to connect music with people’s feelings. I also chose to do this TED Talk video because I feel like it connected with myself better than the other videos. Classical music has affected my life in a more positive way because I can connect with it. That may sound weird, but people have different styles of music that they connect with. I have danced from the ages 2 1/2-17 so I grew up surrounded with classical music (from Ballet). It has changed me tremendously and I feel like it can change others just like it changed me. I like how you mentioned that listening to this type of music impacts the way you feel and how you think. I believe that is a very interesting and important topic to mention. I am interested in seeing how our essays will differ and relate knowing that we are both writing it on the same video.
