    • @SteveDadWeeks
      @SteveDadWeeks 9 років тому +4

      Of course I didn't mean it literally! Something that has always been striking about WM's approach to teaching music is that he has included the very personal issue that everyone leaves out. From the earliest stage our music teachers are keen to insist that music is a language, but WM deals with the big question this raises, namely, what exactly have you got that you are going to communicate? He is very sensitive to the issues: our music will reflect our selves - so we must be positive, open, adventurous,; if we want those characteristics to infuse our music. This boy sadly presents the antithesis of that philosophy, and WM reacts with a passion. Inspiring.

      all man made negative inventions that really don't exist are reality unimportant. those things have credibility only because we believe it and act on ot as if they are real..
      music breaks those barriers because it is the voices of the gods and the instuments the devices man made to communicate with all those gods.

    50 minutes in, WM answers the question "Do we listen to music?" by asking, "Do we listen to people?"
    A pivotal moment in this discourse, where we can learn that Music is Life. You can't make great music unless you have great life, and you can't communicate great music if you can't communicate with people.
    Then it gets political.
    Wow.

    I love it. "The piano don't care about you or your teacher." The instrument didn't earn the disrespect ... it just sits there and says things like "Play me or don't, but your hatred doesn't change the fact that you MUST practice, or else."
    No one knows how someone will respond to something hurtful, whether they will fight back and be better than the teacher, or settle and say "You're right. I'm no good." But the bottom line is the OBJECT of affection or disaffection is totally inanimate until YOU make it come to life and then sign off on it.
    I approve this message.

    I loved and love Wynton Marsalis' music, but I didn't know his thoughts, his way of communicating verbally, his intimate attitude. And listening to his speech I was very impressed. A fine and lively intelligence that easily reaches the communicative objective also through the surprise aroused by an always lurking humor, which expertly inserts extracts from everyday life into the context of the artist, of the man of culture. Like someone who wants to say profound and interesting things but at the same time never wants to notice a yawn in anyone who listens to him. The method - it cannot be ruled out - could derive from the habit of improvising.

    Dear Wynton. We are drawn to the music, only to discover that just as with Louis Armstrong, the person himself is the reason for this music having more life, more to say. I find it hard to listen to Wynton's playing sometimes; I'm so distracted by the way he is leading the band by example, and explicitly in conversation, and leading the audience through the statement, development and expression of the music. This is a man with a message about life, where music is a metaphor, medium and vehicle for the message. Inspiring is a word that rarely fits so well.
