“Have you ever found yourself questioning if you are the one moving too slowly, even if the world around you appears to be picking up speed? With notifications, deadlines, and schedules stacking one after the other, it is no surprise that emotions like anxiety manifest. However, I would like to ask you a question; what if this is all unnecessary? What if there exists a way for you to relax? And what if that tool has existed for centuries, waiting for us to rediscover it?” Nguyen Duc Kien is a high school student at Delta Global School. At this year’s TedxConcordia, he is eager to share with the audience the transformative potential of classical music therapy, a powerful yet often underestimated force that heals, fosters connections and cultivates resilience in our modern, fast-paced world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
