Listening

Is what I'd like for all of us to work on. I read an article today about how a medical school in Texas is using jazz improvisation to teach would be doctors to listen, to not assume that you know and start preparing your response. My daughter Abbey is amazingly bad about this and I must admit that I was too at her age and probably much longer. We are wacky, though, with our duel personality aspects so she and I do both listen well in the musical setting, her time is impeccable. Mine is alright too. Where else can we improve listening? I shall be on the lookout all day
