Minute 24:40, we are seven billion human beings on this planet, if each individual start gardening to invert the global warming, we can save all together this heavenly garden. I go crazy happy when bands like Metallica enjoy concerts all over the world, just like André Rieu and Strauss walzers, music can unite us like a nice global family and wake up people, we have to save animals like our babies. The planet itself is dealing with cancer, sooner or later we all die😢😢😢cancer is just the one who warns you, buddy, time to switch human flesh packaging because this body is…done😢😢😢now that scientific knowledge is average TV entertainment, we all know what penicillin is made about. Let's stimulate immune system better and fight back cancer, let's use micro surgery and cut out any cancer spot within the human body, which substances can neutralize the cancer cells? Let's inject them. It's like knitting, bit by bit, needle by needle, chain by chain, making the proper cleanings of anti matter murdering the good matter in our body. Birds are the prove, brain power is not a matter of dimension. A bird has in it's brain the most complicated cockpit of an airplane, there are the airplanes those who follow birds, they know how to use wind currents, how to understand clouds and weather, there are vibrations they can feel, birds know when it's coming the earthquake and how to protect themselves. There's so much to learn from these perfect aliens so close to us. Birds never argue…but they focus to reach the best pit stop for food and relax. They are not cynical suicidal bullies during a flight overseas. I am dreaming of the day when we will be so free to fly like birds enjoying natural warmth and don't use home heating anymore, think about it friends 😢😢😢
Minute 32:43, you can notice on their faces, the music effect, they are so cute, such sweet kids, so confident, so lovely, music is everything. But in a global world being genuine, unique, being local is crucial. Having a brand. Beethoven was rival in business of Mozart, Bach, Haydn or other important composers, their success was the fact that each one did things his own way, audience expected each composer to be different, no matter if there are tracks so very look a like, for how romantic was Mozart he never did it like Beethoven. Still today, natural gift worths one percent, the other 99% is marketing strategy, is show biz management, is promotion, commercial advertising, is. .. becoming the fans and supporters of themselves as musicians and .. grab as much audience possible. So many modern songs are already born classicals, just willing to entertain the audience. The music is boundless, it has no limits and there's a lot of people out there who need it, some of them don't even realize what they need untill someone is sharing a tip, a suggestion, an invitation…a concert ticket as birthday gift😮
Minute 45:45 all human come from tribes, humble peasants, shepherds, fishermen, but then, true human happiness is freedom of expression, becoming artists. Becoming composers, singers, choreographs, becoming inventors of funny instruments and great entertainers, becoming engineers, architects and designers, hair stylists and very precious fashion outfit creators. It's not luxury but simply human nature, happiness is about becoming artists.. this good
Since when 60 Minutes does not explain what it is but praises it anyway?
Opening with most kids hating piano is a slap in the face to 2026 teachers who DO make piano playing enjoyable. It's a new Era. Journalists should not "assume".
This is the first I have heard of Stewart Copeland's album "Wild Concerto"; it is wonderful.
it can't be fun, because that's not what we are selling. thats not what people are buying
they are buying class. elite classism. they are buying ego, and justified racism
they are buying classism and eliteism
the people that put money into it, are buying superiority complex
In my analysis as a music teacher, the worst method of making a piano student learn easily is when the names of the notes either letters or numbers are written in the keyboard. Much better to show them a diagram of the keyboard itself and teach the student the position of each note then memorize it! This is just the beginning as the rhythm/beat (time sign) has to be taught as well which requires aural skill!
That’s why I had to wait until my adult years to begin to learn. It’s something I had to learn to really be passionate about.
The accordian 🪗 is SO 🆒 thanks to these accordion 🪗 players 😍!
This is just a way to avoid reading music for the beginners which almost every paino teacher is doing for years: writing letters on the page and labeling the keys with letter to match vertically. That's nothing innovative about it. There is no "system" or anything special about this method.
Promoting something that is not really innovative, is just another way tp ptromote a business. But don't called anything "new".
As a guitar teacher, I found that teaching a student something simple, something they’ve heard on the radio, was the easiest way to cement their interest in learning….Not so easy nowadays as guitar doesn’t dominate popular music as it once did.
What happened to the premier investigative news program we all watched for decades? It’s a shame that it’s been reduced to running infomercials for dubious businesses.
To all, I don’t know much about this but will I be investigate it further.
The programming … is 60 Minutes no longer.
Why would you ASSUME that most students taking piano lessons…. DON'T LIKE THEM?
Wow, with Payam's method I bet I would've performed and enjoyed piano so much more.
Oh please don't call them songs!!!!!
This broadcast is garbage, and a disgustingly misinformed presentation on the value of discipline and music as a readable and reproducible language. All presented by someone who sounds like they were just a bad and uninterested student, who failed to see that having fun at anything first requires a good foundation and understanding of what you're doing. I hope 60 minutes is sued for that misleading opening statement. This sham has already cost me students.
I’ve been teaching this way for 23 years. I’m not sure this is “new”
Because I learned to play by Ear – A gift from God – So yes it required discipline and time BUT I enjoyed every step of the way!!!
I sing, Write , produce and play! 🤗😂🎶🙏 #Lovesign #SeñalDeAmor
It’s so good to hear someone perfecting something that I enjoy doing on a much smaller scale (musical pun intended)-
Some sounds I love to record are Secada! Birds and Frogs

I’ve taught students who learned like this. They can play songs but retain no ability to learn new things.
The YT brain rot my kids like to watch does nothing to promote classical music but instead bastardizes it: Chopin's E flat major Nocturne is known simply as the "meme song" and only appears in snippets but never in its entirety and never under Chopin's name, while O Fortuna from Orff's Carmina Burana is known in brain-rot circles as "salsa cookies", "give me cool whip", etc. by kids who will likely never hear of Carl Orff.
BOYCOTT 60 Minutes!
