Playtime Comments : [TED] How to truly listen | Evelyn Glennie

Ts******:

2:47 - Pezzo da Concerto No. 1 by Nebojša Jovan Živković
7:11 - Etude in C Major Op. 6, No. 10 by Clair Omar Musser
13:29 - A Little Prayer by Evelyn Glennie
27:29 - Improvisation on “Michi” by Keiko Abe (Improvisation: Evelyn Glennie)
Note: “Michi”, a piece for marimba by Keiko Abe, has sections that are allowed to be improvised.
EG usually plays the work with two improvised sections; here she played the latter one.

Th*****:

I was about to watch the news and get angry then I stumble upon this incredible human being. For 34:06 minutes she made me forget the ugliness of the world and now I’m back, its not so ugly anymore.

Br**********:

19:00
"If we see someone in a wheelchair we assume they cannot walk. It may be they can walk three, four, five steps. That - to them - means they can walk. In a year's time it could be two extra steps..."

eu*****:

10:50 FYI she's deaf. She decided to wait until almost halfway through to share that, so I figured I'd give you a heads up because it is important.

Cr**********:

It was only at the 10:40 mark, when she outright told us, that I discovered she is deaf. Had no clue prior to that. Just thought she was astoundingly talented, with a unique and incredibly interesting perspective on how to experience music through more than just hearing. Now... well, now I don't even know how to fathom the depth of her talent....

KT*:

In my band class at school, our teacher/conductor showed us this video without saying anything about it beforehand. At 7:53 he paused the video to tell us all out of nowhere that she was deaf, and everyone in the room was just utterly blown away.

Za**********:

The concept she begins to express around 6:15 I cannot help but relate to love.

ne*****:

I'd be glad to see a snare drum at 9:00 o'clock in the morning . . . if I was awake.

la********:

I like how it took people a try to realize they had to clap a bit more enthusiastically for her to notice it. 12:10

Ja************:

Be amazed, 7:00, that's where her music talent begins to shine. It's a bit longer than today's TEDtalks some might be used to. Pause it and come back if it's too long, it's worth it.

Top Comments : [TED] How to truly listen | Evelyn Glennie

Xe***********:

As a musician who is losing his hearing, this woman is an amazing inspiration.

my***********************:

As s side bar, when she demonstrated what being a technician was like I was reminded on the monotonous droning rhythm of John Fogerty's "Born on the Bayou."

pi*********:

Evelyn is a trailblazer. So touched!!

J*:

You know what? I really don't care that no one seems to be watching this video anymore. That's neither here nor there. I absolutely love this woman... her interpretations of music and sound, her incredible skills and musical gifts... her voice, her beautiful way of speaking, the sounds of her words... the way she rolls the Rs... and most of all, her knowledge and love of music. I was going to fast forward to the final song she played. 

And for a 3rd time I found myself captivated with her presentation in this video.. captivated by her beauty and knowledge about rhythm and knowledge about sound... and most of all, her love of music. I knew that kind of love for music before and had it at one time in my life. I get brief glimpses and experience it again ever so briefly whenever I watch this gorgeous presentation. Thank you Ms Dame Evelyn Glennie, for reminding me about what music really is...

Te********:

I am more than 1/2 deaf and I now think I have a lot to work with good job.

FU******:

It is a pleasure to listen to her. Certainly a creator. 

Fa****************:

I love when she transforms into a musician

Au********:

Evelyn Glennie is definitely one of the best percussionists ever and one of my role models in music and life

Ka*******:

I love this Ted Talk. There aren't so many people outside of musicians that really UNDERSTAND the nature of how people experience sound and vibration

Je************:

Inspiring. And I have heard snow, landing on my jacket, very soft tinkling sound. It was minus 23 Celsius in jämtland, Sweden. I am Australian and from a hot dry part so I had almost no experience of it before and had never imagined such a thing. My hosts explained it was to do with the shape of the crystals. They were flat flakes I only a millimetres or so long. Tiny but numerous.

Em************:

What a lovely lady. She refused to accept "no" for an answer and opened the doors for many future applicants.

le************:

Such an amazing musician. In a way she's just broken my heart as I've always wanted to be a musician and the way she talks about it makes me realise the difference between me and someone with genuine talent. What an amazing lady, what an amazing attitude.

NA******:

Im a percussionist and being deaf is a real damn thing, many years in a band room without proper ear protection and drumline equipment made sure of that

Ra******************:

Evelyn Glennie A truly magnificent earful in fact 2 earfuls.
Thank you TED the ever increasing
list of wonderful-teaching leaders to help advance our knowledge.
Keep going!

Pi*************:

That moment that you realize that she is deaf... She knows how to motivate people in the right way, not by saying look at me, I am deaf and I still can do it... But more like Look at me, I may be deaf, but so what, that gave me other possibilities that you guys don't have - but I am willing to share those with you.

Ma*********:

"Stop the judgement". That's really it. Listen like you have nothing to say, simply receive.

Al********:

I could listen to this brilliant woman all day.

Ma**********:

Dang that etude in c minor was amazing !

Sa***********:

Brilliant....real passionate artist..

Am*******:

I am astounded just watching her demonstrate her hand and finger speed.

Pr*************:

I closed my eyes on the last song she played and got lost in another beautiful world. What is the name of that piece? Oh my god she is amazing, and absolutely not because she is deaf and she can do it, but because she IS literally amazing!

Je***********:

Great talk. Of course, there's also the crossover into dance, in which the body physically responds to the music.

JA**********:

after reading the comment from 4 years ago (2019) not knowing she is deaf. I'm Speechless

Ka***********:

Cant believe I watched the whole thing. I usually cant sit through videos longer than 10 minutes, but this was so intriguing.

cr******:

She is one of the most thoroughly communicative and articulate speakers I've ever heard. Brilliant

Mo**************:

The color of music comes from the heart.

J*:

has anyone else who watches this video noticed how she pulls overtone notes out of the different keys? It's remarkable... How she can make the keys play different overtone notes. I've seen some really good marimba players, but have never seen any of them do what she can do with that instrument. Her deafness is a definite asset because she is not hampered the same way that hearing people are. She is free to explore and experiment with different percussion instruments. She is able to make an incredible variety of different sounds from the instruments she plays, like the snare drum in this video. Most players just bang away at a snare drum, bringing monotone sounds either with the snare engaged or off. When she was playing the snare drum with the snare off, the amount of different note sounds she was able to create is astounding.

I would stack every single percussionist against her any-day of the week, and she would beat them all hands down, and she probably wouldn't even break a sweat... She is the absolute best I've ever seen... And, she has made the Marimba my absolute favorite instrument. The piano is now my second favorite instrument, second only to the marimba.

Ca**********:

I have a friend who's also deaf like her, she lost her hearing around her early teenage years. She isn't a professional musician, but she enjoys playing the piano from learning it in her childhood. She still learns new stuff, and she plays it well enough. She said to me although she can't hear the sounds, she can still feel the vibration or even just the feeling of the keyboard her hands are playing. It's incredibly marvelous when you lose one of your senses and you have to rely on the other ones, makes you appreciate all your usable senses.

JD*******:

This gives me lots of feelings. When I was a young percussionist, she was my hero. I'm not currently playing percussion, though I"m still making music. I know the truth she tells about using the full body to perceive music. When I sing and when I was doing it with a teacher, I developed a sense of pitch that wasn't what one would call perfect pitch. But I knew what my body felt to sing a certain note. My physical response to X is Y. Etc. And I think about how valuable it was to do things like sit in the practice rooms with the instruments and just play.

When I was learning to BE a percussionist at the university in the early 90s, my private lesson teacher was not a percussion specialist himself. I could tell that he wasn't teaching me correct keyboard technique because it didn't feel right in my hands. I see what she's doing and it's sure not what I was taught. It's what I should have been taught. It makes me sad for young me who dreamed big but didn't get to be the percussionist she wanted to be.
