  1. Articles that are very useful for us. In playing music, a music player must have sensitivity to the tones that are heard so that they can easily play the notes again. Listening to music is not just listening to top songs, but listening to all the songs that are there and always trying to find references to other songs. Everything we do, if it’s not done with intention, the results will be in vain.
