Excellent lesson by Leonard Bernstein on harmonics and history. I’ve heard “those who can’t do teach,” and I respectfully disagree. Bernstein is one of the great American composers, and this 5 minutes is fascinating and full of more information than entire semesters. Bernstein has the admirable trait of being...

Yea he's one of my favorites for his way of teaching. He even intertwines it with performances. His short teaching segment before he conducts Bachs keyboard concerto with Glenn Gould is great at showing dynamics in music. He's a legend.

It’s interesting that in India they developed at scale with smaller intervals then semitones. They have something like 24 notes in an octave.

"those who can't do teach" doesn't mean those who do can't teach. It's a false dichotomy. The actions of the unskilled say nothing about the skilled

The story of America is unmatched in human civilization. It is the story of undaunted courage, of a bloody independence, of a Republic on the brink, of rebuilding & restoring, of rights being secured, and of sacrifice & liberation of those in the old countries who have lost hope. It is the creation of a new, American, identity. An identity that since the founding of our country has been open to those who truly desire to be American and adopt a wholly new spirit of being an American as our ancestors did when arriving on the shores of this foreign land. Theodore Roosevelt, an inspirer of men and a believer in the soul of America and in calling his countrymen to the highest of callings which our founding documents and our faith demand of us, knew that adopting this new American identity was necessary to maintain the fabric of our republic. He knew that anyone “who comes here in good faith becomes an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with everyone else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed, or birthplace, or origin. But this is predicated upon the person’s becoming in every facet an American, and nothing but an American…Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn’t an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag.” As a defining characteristic, our American identity is second only to that of our faith. On the 250th anniversary of our country, a country that has secured more rights, alleviated more poverty, ended more suffering for more people than any other on the face of the earth, I am praying for a renewal of the love and desire to adopt that American identity that so many toiled, labored, and bled to preserve. To 250 more years of Independence and a revival of the American spirit.
