- David Gerhard is an Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and an associate member in the Department of Music at the University of Regina in Regina, Saskatchewan. In this TEDxRegina talk, David introduces his musical creation called the Rainboard. With it, he asks if we can shortcut the path to musical mastery. This talk was filmed May 16, 2012 in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations) - Věda a technologie
10k hours is to get people not to focus on the END but to be in the now and enjoy what you are doing. mastery will come. 10k hour seems daunting so dont count the strokes, enjoy the strokes. Mohammed Ali was once asked how many sit up does he do in his work out- he replied i dont even count them until it starts hurting. focous on process
well what really makes you a musician is, I believe not so much the ease of instrument layout, but knowing and recognizing all the sounds and being creative with them. This is where" the work" really are and here the instrument plays a smaller role. One could say ... here YOU are the instrument. When the sounds makes sense to you the way you put them to the instrument begins to make a lot more sense
sure thing its about the musician... like its actually being a good musician who can create music...in contrast to being an instrumentalist who can play a specific instrument with proficiency ...but i believe the speaker is suggesting solutions for getting rid of the hassles of learning instruments and focusing more on the music as a subject...
So Ali...in a nutshell..is there a market for it?
+SONIC FOXX MUSIC...(D.N.A... Developing New Artists) yup sure is long as it brings value to a musician or a composer or a song writer but the thing is how popular this gets because I suppose many instrument have been invented but guitar is the most popular instrument ... and many people know about it even those who are not into music know that this creates music ... so I would say it's got a nich market for composers or songwriters only ...
if you are here to learn music. boy, you came to the right place. and if you want to know about "learning a skill in 10,000 hours" select any other video from the right side list. ted please change video title nobody wants to waste 18 minutes and 35 seconds.
I have a musical instrument that takes ten thousand microseconds to master - the CD Player.
This isn't going anywhere
Except that this doesn't short circuit the 10,000 hours you need to invest to master the art of playing the piano.
Yes it does because instead of learning 24 scale shapes you only need to learn 2... so you'll be able to play in any key without having to do 12 times the amount of practice
Moral of the story: if you try to learn how to "short-circuit" from the 10k rule, you'll end up wasting 18 and a half minutes of your life.
Frankly, I didn't understand what he was saying but instead of scrolling I just consume the right content
I’ll take 10,000 hours of practicing and playing over this thingy, thank you very much! Cool toy though.
I was listening to this and the mother ship just showed up.
Excellent talk David!
Great Talk David.
This is incredible! But its so funny that he said he wasn't sure if juggling had to do with music! If any of you have heard of Juzzy Smith. Have a look for a busking video he did when he juggled an played harmonica... they are almost like maracas!
The minor scale played actually the Dorian mode. The natural 6th should be a flat 6th.
+themusicofjoshcohen mm i like when you talk like that
themusicofjoshcohen neeeeeeeeeeerd
Well, I came here to find out how to learn faster, not see some new gizmo that no serious musician will buy!
Gimzo 😂
Id buy it
Make this open source, open manufacture and with an arduino-based design. Usually Pad-based instruments have
problems with dead-time, so I guess the response would have to be hard wired to avoid lagging.
Awesome talk but wish the production people would have checked lav batteries or turned the wireless receiver on or made sure it was connected connected..kind of embarrassing for U of R film video students. The synth did come out nice and a cool instrument
this is called a button accordion !
Though...you have to admire his passion!!!!
Looks like a colorful shiny new pretty toy for the DJ/EDM knuckledraggers - lol at the button accordion reference
10,000 hours drinking.. now I go to AA meetings. Expert!!
Play Fantaisie-Impromptu in C♯ minor on it and I'll be impressed :)
is that some new API in C# programming lang.?

Was it the sound crews' day off?
Amazing !! Where is it available?
Still, it would have been nice to show it could also play something traditional, like Bach or Haydn, or maybe Gershwin.
Reading the description, I found this: "he asks if we can shortcut the path to musical mastery."
And reading the comments is not encouraging.
This sounded like Short-Circuiting 10,000 hours for any subject. Signing off 4 mins in.
what's the point when you can't move ur fingers gracfully above the keys?
to me that's the whole beauty of piano...and violin too...i wanna be like that..that's wt keeps me going...this way i have to keep my hand like chicken leg...
also this is so tiny...and sounds funny...i want to ply Beethoven...bach...how cn i ??
GENIUS!!!!!!....a product with flashy lights which cuts "headache and migraine sufferers" out of it's potential buying public area...add to the equation that most folk i personally know who are creatives suffer from headaches and/or migraines and at this stage of this instrument's development...you have just knocked up an instrument which might just cut out quite a high percentage of creative users....your target market....or is it a toy aimed directly at KIDS?....who can also suffer from migraines.
Mmmmmmmm......just a thought or two before you MASS PRODUCE.
Make it without the flashy lights= Potentially a huge winning commercial product....SIMPLE.
Have you sold any yet????
The colorful flashy lights are the whole point of it.
Shaves off hours from scales/chords, but I think it adds hours to sight-reading.
Take my money.
I wanted it to sound like a piano. :-(
SAX!!!
Well....it doesn’t take “so long” to learn music theory. All music theory is is recognizing and understanding patterns, then giving a name to those patterns. People hear these patterns all the time, they just might not realize there’s a name for what they are hearing. Not so difficult if you think of it this way. People love to hate theory, smh.
1) Ableton Push (similar concept but waaaay more advanced while being just as simple)
2) 10,000 is to become a world-class player in an ultra-competitive field. It doesn't take 10,000 hours to learn how to drive a car now, does it? But it probably will take 10,000 hours to become a Formula 1 driver. The 10,000 rule has been twisted over the years. In reality, you can become the world's best at something relatively simple (or reasonably good at something complicated) within about 20 - 40 hours.
...or give up trying ...and steal a Formula 1 car and hope for the best!!!
Yaaaaaaahoooooo!!!!!
By the way, i've written song lyrics for over 10,000 hours....and the irony...a song i wrote the lyrics for which most seem a like it's captivating a few folk, is called "WHY? by JASMINE LAMPORT"..... less than 20 actual different words in it(allowing for repetition)....google it sometime...you might be talking to a genius here...naaaah...i just got bored waiting for floor polish to dry...my former career(job)....mopping floors for a living!!!
10,000 hours or 100,000 hours or 1,000 hours, it all depends on the person, the talent, the method of practicing, etc.
this is horrible, good ted talks are so hard to find now
Was it B major?
DEATHtheKIDFX He played C major scale when he said key of yellow lol
I think it was F major, starting on the F above middle C (F4)
Disappointed by the quality of ted talks
1. google "isomorphic midi controller" its been around since the 80s, its old tech!
2. guitar has moveable chord shapes and scales, like many other instruments.
3. this will give children a warped perception of how music theory works.
4. the graphs are his assumptions. we would love to see a study on this with facts instead.
@TEDxTalks please get experts, not people who treat it as a hobby.
its fake midi fighter by dj tech hahahahahahahahaha
