Learn to Fail Magnificently
Dr Andrew Brian Filmer |
TEDxSunwayUniversity
• May 2019
In his talk, Dr Andrew explains his fascination into exploring why exams and competitions are such a pivotal part of music education when their importance should be negligible in it. He takes us on a journey of discovery, investigating the root words of these terms and sharing some of his stories. In doing so, he relays his discovery that the cause for the hype on exams and competitions could be due to a risk of failure - in which he stresses that we instead need to “fail magnificently!” One of these stories features a young musician, Ian, which he collaborates with to play a piece by Bach to finish his talk.
