"Learning a tune by ear, then, forces the musician to listen carefully and repeatedly to the new music, which can often lead to quicker memorization and less mechanical, more musical playing. It also provides a skill that enables a player to quickly hear and adapt to new versions and variations in rehearsal"
-Tim Cummings, Theoretically Speaking: Learning Tunes by Ear (Part 1)
