About this listen

This week we pick up from where we left off from my conversation with Benjamin Yeo. Benji is an avid contributor to multiple facets of the local music and band scene taking on roles as an educator, composer, conductor.

In this second part of a 2 part episode, we spoke about:
1. The impact music and arts practice and the development of intangible qualities in a young person.
2. What is the former Music Talent Development Centre (MTDC) and the importance of programmes designed to develop the youths.
3. The importance of composing music that is true to him.
4. Composition is a bespoke "service".
5. His creative process, using City of Dreams as an example.
6. How his love of teaching made him walk away from an overseas scholarship.
7. The changes in Music curriculum in schools.


And much more about his love for teaching, current career and the guiding principal that he believes in.
