Ludovico Einaudi - "Elegy for the Arctic" - Official Live (Greenpeace)

A beautifuly sombre piece by Italian composer Ludovico Einaudi. Filmed on a floating platform beside a giant (collapsing!) glacier makes for a pretty spectacular backdrop. https://youtu.be/2DLnhdnSUVs

Chinese Dragon by Nancy Faber

Lovely duet with a very Chinese sound. Something that is quite lacking in most of the music you will find sold over here. https://youtu.be/AncdtfgF6xE

Jon Cleary - History of New Orleans Piano

A great video on some of the different styles of jazz. Dont have to listen to the whole thing, but it is captivating. https://youtu.be/wi0cLdJCgTA

What Does a Chopstick Piano Sound Like? 🎹

This street performer writes his own music, and makes his own instruments out of recycled (old) instruments! https://youtu.be/LVHX3k-CsQo

How Paul McCartney thinks music should be taught in schools, Paul McCartney, Mastertapes - BBC Radio 4

I like this very quick take on teaching music. Loving it after the very first lesson would be great. http://ow.ly/JOfB303Skjl

Wintergatan - Marble Machine (music instrument using 2000 marbles)

This is really worth checking out: This guy composes songs, and then makes his own instruments to play them! This one uses thousands of marbles, and the video gives you a real insight into how the whole thing works. Great tune, too. https://youtu.be/IvUU8joBb1Q
