Absorbing Unconsciously

January 27th 2008

A university in the state of Tennessee has a very unique way of teaching their music students. The students sit for two hours and listen to their professor play scales on the piano. They just sit and listen and that is their class. However, this class takes place in the morning for a special reason. Did you know that songs that you listen to in the morning stays in your head for the rest of the day? Let’s say the first song you hear in the morning is a Black Eyed Peas song. Then most likely, that song will play over and over all day long. The point of having this class in the morning is to memorize and become familiar with the scales. Think about it – you have to listen to notes being played on the piano for two hours every morning – it’s almost impossible to not memorize the scales.
If you study music, it would be a good idea to listen to songs early in the morning. It will help because the graduates, by the time they graduate, have all the scales memorized, perfectly. They didn’t even do anything, though. All they had to do was sit and listen. Easy as that.

Our Home

Why do people liter? Why would anybody throw trash on the ground?
It’s their home; they should keep it clean. I was sitting in the front seat of my dad’s car this morning. I had the windows down, and I looked outside as the car slowed down at a traffic light. I heard something and saw two girls eating ice cream. Despite the fact that it was the middle of winter, they surprised me as they began to eat their ice cream. They ripped opened the wrapper, this was the sound I heard from inside the car, and just dropped it on the ground. There were garbage bins around. I just didn’t understand why they couldn’t walk 20 feet and throw away the wrapper properly.

I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t like it if I threw garbage in their room. Why are people so ignorant these days? Don’t they know about global warming? The Earth is not only their home; it’s our home. Why don’t they take care of it?
