“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 its ever plastic state, adapts. It responds to application. In the “Cone of Learning” (Edgar Dale), 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.
