3. His introduction captured the audience attention by playing his piano
and jokingly giving examples of how an eight, nine and ten years old kid
play the piano, argument that lead to the main subject of his speech.
Letting the audience know that the purpose of his presentation was to
prove the audience with an experiment that everybody can understand
and love classical music
4. • He kept the entire audience engaged with
constant interaction using real life situations as
examples as well as keeping a strong sense of
humor throughout his speech to successfully
vindicate his point of view.
5. • He used a piece by one of the greatest piano composers of all times (Frederic
Chopin - Prelude in E-minor)
6. •Then proceeded to break it down explaining the audience its basic elements,
structure, and the relationship between chords and notes making the crowd feel
understand and relate with the musical composition.
7. In my humble opinion Benjamin Zander’s speech is
absolutely dynamic in terms of energy, audience
interaction and comprehension.
8. I would give the speaker a 5 in terms of dynamism. Is
hard for me to think a way it could have been more
dynamic, I feel the audience was fully captivated and so
was I watching it.
9. Tips used from Nancy Duarte
Benjamin Zander’s
speech was presented
in a very narrative
compelling way; the
human element is very
well presented with
his interaction and
story framework. All
those elements make
his speech meaningful
and memorable.
10. I’ve learned that speech delivery
is more fun interesting and
compelling when humor and
interaction are included.
11. If I were to compare Benjamin Zander’s
speech with Sir Ken Robinson’s I would
say the most comparable characteristic is
the sense of humor .
12. Though Sir Ken Robinson’s humor is
cleverer is a clear element in both
speeches.
13. Prepare your
speeches ahead of
time so there’s time
to revise and polish
