A Need for Higher Ed: Scott LeGere at TEDxCarletonCollege

Over the past 15 years, Scott LeGere has played key roles in the ownership and operation of audio recording facilities, independent record labels, media schools, and commercial music production companies. During this time, he has engineered Grammy nominated albums, produced critically acclaimed independent projects, lectured economics classes of 75 students, and foolishly hauled both Yamaha CP-70s and Hammond B3s (concurrently) to gigs. In 2010, he co-founded NoWare Media, a composition focused sound agency, and has helped produce Clio, Emmy, and Cannes Lion award winning commercial spots for clients such as Target, General Mills, The Minnesota Wild, PepsiCo, Bauer Hockey, BluDot, and others. In addition to his professional commitments, Scott has continued to lecture and participate in panel discussions on media trends, the music industry, and higher education at national and regional conferences including CMJ, MEIEA, Pot Luck Audio Con, and MENC.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
