THE BEST WAY TO HEAR CERTAIN SOUNDS
If you're stuck chatting up a mumbler at a cocktail party, lean in with your right ear. It's better than your left at following the rapid rhythms of speech, according to researchers at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine. If, on the other hand, you're trying to identify that song playing softly in the elevator, turn your left ear toward the sound. The left ear is better at picking up music tones.

PROBLEM SOLVING IN MUSIC
To master difficult spots in music, change whatever you have to in a passage to make it easily playable (tempo, dynamics, articulation, register, etc.) and then gradually change it back until you eventually arrive at the original version.
