4’33” (Four Minutes and Thirty-Three Seconds): What Our Brains Need Glenn Whitman , Director, The Center for Transformative Teaching and Learning Posted 03/23/2015 12:49PM | Last Commented 11/16/2015 11:26AM As my students know, their brains fascinate me and my colleagues. Throughout this school year, I have been fascinated with memory, especially after reading Make It Stick: The Science of Successful Learning. But what do we ever truly remember? Most of you don’t know that I have a “man crush” on Bruce Springsteen and know the lyrics to nearly all of his songs. Our brain never stops working, even in our sleep. Therefore, my challenge for each of us is to make 4’33’’ seconds more a part of how we teach, learn, and live each day. Thank for reading and hopefully remembering!

Know Every Note on the Guitar in 9 Days | Deft Digits Guitar Lessons Knowing every note on the guitar is a challenge unique to the instrument. A saxophone has only one way to finger each note, while a guitar usually has a few different strings and four fingers to choose from. String a few notes together and the permutations of how to play them will wreck your brain. Pianists have a similar problem with ten available digits, but you can memorize the notes on a keyboard in a matter of minutes; the same pattern of white and black keys repeats every octave. The challenge with navigating the guitar fretboard is its two-dimensional layout. Why Know the Whole Fretboard? If you don’t know every single note on the guitar cold, without hesitation, then I highly recommend taking a little time to get that under your belt. The primary advantage to knowing every note on the fretboard is in creation. If you haven’t started playing yet, come back to this after you’ve learned some music. Day 1: Open Strings Know your open strings like you know your alphabet. Conclusion
