INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Training your ear to a certain level may take a very long time. Professional musicians train their entire careers to perfect their musical ear. Even so, perfect pitch is still something of a mystery to scientists and will likely take you much practice for you to attain. Note that achieving perfect pitch may not be possible, but it's also not necessary. Relative pitch is just as useful! If you're a vocalist, this might entail putting on some soft music and singing along with it, or if you're an instrumentalist you might sit down at your instrument after breakfast every day. Hearing the movement of sound among intervals will reinforce these in your mind. These experts can help you fine-tune your technique, but they can also point out areas where your musical ear might be weak. Once you've identified a specific problem, like difficulty hitting high C because it's close to the top of your vocal range, you can practice it until you improve. Once your ear for music improves, you should challenge it often, either at your instrument or with your voice. Use your imagination to recreate sounds that you have heard and try to capture the quality of sound exactly in your head. You might start with a tonal element that's easier to hear, like the root of the chord. Then you can add new tones to it with an instrument, or move vocally from that root to discover the other tones that are a part of the chord progression. This is how you learn to harmonize.

SUMMARY: Be consistent while learning. Set aside regular time in your schedule to practice. Jam with other musicians. Exercise your ear regularly.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Before you remove your lens, add a few drops of sterile saline or artificial tears to each eye. This will hydrate and lubricate your eyes as well as the lenses, which will allow for easier removal. Position yourself low over a flat surface, such as over the top of your dresser or bathroom counter. This will ensure your contacts don't end up on the floor. Next, look straight ahead into a mirror so you can see your eyes. Press one index finger in between the top and bottom eyelash line. The should be the center of your contact lens, which will trap it under finger. Use the index finger of your opposite hand to pull up your upper eyelid. Move your top index finger holding the eyelid down toward your bottom lid. The result should be that the contact pops away from your eye. Use the middle finger on the hand with the contact to pull your lower eyelid down. Look up and carefully slide the contact down your eye, then pluck it out. Gently rub the contact with solution use two to three drops and rub for about 10 seconds on each side. This will loosen proteins and debris that are stuck to the lens, improving comfort and longevity of the lens. Then, drop the contact in the waiting solution container. Even if the solution you use says it is "no rub," you should not skip this step. Repeat the same method on your other eye. If that method didn't work for you, you can try the catching method. Lower yourself over a surface to ensure that the contact won't fall to the floor. Look down and place one hand under your eye to catch the contact. With the other hand, take your index and middle finger and pull at the side of your eye away from your nose, then blink. Once you blink, the contact should fall out into your hand. You may find it easiest to pull outward on just the upper lid instead of both. Repeat on the other side. If your hard contacts are unable to be removed through other methods, a tool called a suction cup (known as a DMV) can be used to help with removal. The tool adheres to the contact and uses suction to pull it out of the eye. Only use a suction cup if you can visibly see the contact in your eye. To use, moisten the center of suction cup with sterile saline solution. Looking straight ahead, apply the suction cup to the center of your contact. Gently move the suction from side to side until it adheres to the contact and it is removed. Place the contact in the solution and repeat on the other eye. Issues with your eye can cause serious, long-term effects. Seek medical attention right away if you spot warning signs such as: The inability to remove the contact from your eye An embedded contact inside your eye Abnormal vision Pain, redness, or discomfort after the contact has been removed

SUMMARY:
Get yourself ready. Position your fingers. Remove the lens. Try the catch method. Use the suction cup method. Know when to call for help.
