Summarize the following:
Choose a singular note that you wish to learn. Start with something simple, like an A or C. Play the note over and over until you begin to memorize its sound by rote. This is the raw form of memorizationlearning how a particular note sounds and absorbing as much of its auditory properties as you can. Instead of simply hearing the sound of the note, try "seeing" or even "feeling" it. Does the note evoke a certain emotion or sensation in you? Does it remind you of a color or give you an impression of some type of scene? Focus on isolating these characteristics of the note. Your pitch will begin to improve once you start to develop a creative musical memory. Musicians commonly refer to this type of practice as "colorful listening," or making use of other sensory features to cement a sound's place in the listener's memory. As a broad example, minor notes often have the effect of eliciting feelings of melancholy in listeners, whereas major swells are linked with impressions of excitement, joy, and triumph. Think of other, non-musical sounds that the note reminds you of. Making associations with like sounds can help solidify the tonal structure of the note in your mind; a low E or F flat note, for example, may conjure images of an ocean liner sounding its foghorn. Musicians who use this mnemonic device allow notes to form vivid depictions in their minds, making them more memorable as a result. Since you will rarely hear a singular note played without harmony in a piece, placing the note in the context of its root position chord can also help you learn to distinguish it. Distinguishing pitch largely involves being able to tell which notes have a higher or lower frequency than others, so learn to recognize the same notes in different octaves in addition to the general sound of the note itself, as well as the sharp and flat modes of each note. If you familiarize yourself with these variations, you'll have a better ear for when the note has been hit exactly and when it is a little too high or low. "Sharp" refers to notes that are roughly a half step higher than their base frequency, while "flat" notes are perceived as slightly low. Many mistakes in musical pitch occur because of a lack of familiarity with a note's deviations.

summary: Listen to each note repeatedly. Ascribe other qualities to the note. Associate the note with another sound. Learn the variations of the note.

Summarize the following:
Cut the top and the bottom off the carrot. You want a nice, wide base for your flower. Shape one side into a half circle or dome. You're aiming for five petal shapes around the outside, which will be attached at the base of the carrot. Use the knife to mark from one point to another (with a curved petal shape, pointing upward). Don't go all the way down; leave the bottom attached. Be careful not to gouge out too much, but you want your petals to be a nice, thin layer. Every time that you finish a layer, make sure that each petal is curved, and doesn't have any sharp edges on it. Repeat those step until you get about 4-6 layers. Cut that part, and make it shorter than the other layers.

summary: Peel and prepare a carrot. Cut a section of carrot off the wide end. Mark the petals on the curved side, using a knife. Cut each petal into shape. Cut away some of the carrot behind the petal. Repeat the last two steps until you finish the outer layer. Make the leftover chunk in the middle narrower by shaping it with the knife. Use the knife to create a hole in the middle. That's it!

Divide the list into 3 parts. Begin your list with the most powerful swears. Finish with the most benign. Although swearing is a spontaneous act, a "database" of swear words will better prepare you to swear. Base your list on taboo words that registered most deeply with you--they'll be the ones for which you have the most conviction. Chances are you've heard plenty of curse words in your lifetime. About 0.7% of the words used daily by a person swears. Finish with the most benign. The word you found most potent? Put that on your A list. Benign? Put it on your C list. Suggestions for your A-List are the curse words you'll seldom use. They're more taboo than the others. They have the potential to be more offensive, also. So be careful how you use them. Middle-of-the-road curse words are suitable for your B List. They're less abrasive and harsh than the "top-of-the-line" curses. Use "gentler" curses for your C List. Include in this group words like "hell," "damn," and "crap." A word like damn is fun to say and not overly offensive. It's almost, but not quite, a non-swear. "Damn! It's raining again." Practice saying the words on your list so that they won't sound awkward or forced when the time comes. Sound conveys meaning and sometimes renders emotion clearer than a word which has a literal meaning. Think about the charge you get singing along with a chorus even if it's only a sound like, "oooooh." Swear words tend to sound quick and harsh. The sound departs from the sound of most words in our daily language and so it enters the realm of taboo because it's heard as offensive or abrasive. Damn is a soft word and it hardly raises a feather. Other curse words are abrupt, harsh and guttural. They work better in a heated moment. Think of them as two steps more potent than damn. Swearing is anti-taboo. Why be restricted? The swear most often uttered by women is "Oh My God." Men are partial to swears that are more taboo, less restrained. Men and women share an affinity for some words like hell. Women tend to choose more benign forms of swearing (for the most part).Perhaps this is due to a double-standard for swearers. When women swear it can be seen as uncouth. More so than for men.
summary: Draw up a list of curse words. Begin your list of taboo words with the most powerful swears. Base your repertoire not only on meaning but on sound. Break gender roles.
