Summary

What can music teach us about listening to other people?
From birth we enjoy music intuitively and effortlessly, yet we rarely think about how we listen. 
This playful, interactive talk explores what writing, producing and performing music can teach us about listening, communication and human connection. Through personal stories and live listening experiments, you’ll experience listening in new ways and leave thinking differently about what it means to listen - to music, to other people and even to yourself.
