Listening to Benjamin Zander in class the other day, I realized how important music is to some people. Music is a form of art, as Rhys Southan has explained, and it can be so incredibly captivating. Throughout the Ted talk Benjamin Zander tells us how much influence music can have on people “I consider music to be a transformational experience”. Zander believes “music is a much more precise language than words” , however just like literature, music is often misunderstood. Zander also talks about how music speaks directly to the heart, the reason why it is sometimes irresistible.

Southan has similar views as Zander, as they both believe music and art have a higher power. They both believe a world without music or even art would crumble. Eventually, Zander realized his job was to “awaken possibility in other people”, to give them wisdom and insight on this incredible thing called music. Southan has similar views when talking about art and especially EA, as Southan is trying to do the most good for the most people while spreading his love of art.  Both Southan and Zander have an incredible affection for art and music, and they are trying to spread that affection they have to people all over the world.
