Following Your Dream and Finding Your Passion | Kristen Gleeson-Prata | TEDxSolonHighSchool

Kristen Gleeson-Prata will be talking about her own passion in drumming and how it takes a while to realize the core of one’s own passion. Realizing one’s own passion can help him/her hold on to what they love doing throughout their lives despite any form of change. Kristen Gleeson-Prata held onto her own passion of making music and playing drums. Ohio native Kristen Gleeson-Prata witnessed drummer Billy Cobham in concert at the age of nine and has been in love with music ever since. After working with drumming masters like John "JR" Robinson, Aaron Sterling, and blue man group drummer Steve Wilkes, Kristen received a bachelor's degree in Performance from Berklee College of music. Since then, she has studied percussive styles from all over the world. Currently, Gleeson-Prata works with the band BØRNS and Abby Posner. She, along with BØRNS, has performed on television shows such as the “Conan O’Brien Show” and “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon”. She has also played with Kenton Chen of "The sing-off" and Derik Nelson from "Glee". In addition to performing, Kristen is a music teacher and columnist for Modern Drummer and Tom Tom magazines. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
