Garden of Thought E.287 Prodigy

Robert Emery was a child prodigy. He could replay whatever music he heard on the piano without any formal training. His parents knew they had a gifted child and the rest is history. Emery also isn't promoting anything other than classical music. He wants people to listen to classical music and embrace it as evergreen "cool". My quotes, not his. He tells his story from a personal level. While I explore the legal and business aspects in a parallel fashion. We discuss items like did he have helicopter parents; when and how did he acquire an agent; how do music industry artists make money; intellectual property; why did he chose to become a conductor over a concert pianist. Tune in so you can be tuned in.
