Being A Good Listener Is Important No Matter What Path In Life You Take.  One

Being a good listener is important no matter what path in life you take
  One of the best ways to ‘study’ music is by repeated listening
  You probably have a favorite book, movie, or song you like to listen to over and over again
 When you repeat that activity you are able to pick up on something you might have missed the first time
 It is through repeated encounters that we gain familiarity and appreciation
