Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.24,0:00:53.57,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In some instances music works better than the spoken word,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.57,0:00:55.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it doesn't have to be understood
Dialogue: 0,0:00:55.49,0:00:57.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to be effective.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.10,0:01:21.15,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with proven success, but it takes a long time.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:21.15,0:01:23.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Too long.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:45.42,0:01:47.68,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the more mistakes you made
Dialogue: 0,0:01:47.68,0:01:50.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the more your parents smiled.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.68,0:01:57.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Learning to speak was not something you were sent somewhere to do

Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.65,0:02:01.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the majority of the people you spoke to
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.62,0:02:03.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,were not beginners.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.07,0:02:06.63,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They were already proficient speakers.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:07.47,0:02:10.62,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Imagine your parents forcing you to only speak to other babies
Dialogue: 0,0:02:10.62,0:02:14.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,until you were good enough to speak to them.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:48.38,0:02:53.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where a child grows up with other musicians in the family.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:30.20,0:03:36.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the beginning embrace mistakes, instead of correcting them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:36.24,0:03:42.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like a child playing air guitar, there are no wrong notes.

Dialogue: 0,0:04:01.75,0:04:04.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And most importantly, remember that
