"Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I'll remember. Involve me, and I'll learn." Benjamin Franklin The musician doesn't learn by listening. The musician learns by playing. It's how the mind, in it's ever plastic state, adapts. It responds to application. In Edgar Dale's "Cone of Learning" we learn: 10% of what we read, 20% of what we hear, 30% of what we see, 50% of what we hear and see, 70% of what we say and write, 90% of what we actually participate in. Information without application, is knowledge. Information with application, is wisdom.
