Musical Methods

Walkman/Discman

Many teachers do allow these simply for relaxation purposes. Others dont have a policy one way or another. Of course, during wintertime, you can have a hood on and put the earpiece on without a teacher ever knowing. I recommend using a CD player over a walkman because you can have unlimited tracks and quickly forward to the next track, where in a walkman you are very limited. Record brief notes using a microphone and your computer and save them. Each piece of information for notes should be its own track, so you may end up with 40 or so tracks, but so what. You can just skip along till you find what you need. Listen to your own soothing voice while you get the answers and go have a Cadillac margarita on yourself afterwards!
