It is human nature to scorn music chosen by others. Perhaps
this is why musical appreciation seldom survives a cubicle wall.
Fortunately, the human brain can be trained to filter out unwanted
melodies, although it takes rigorous training. Start with the
Rusty Blackbird Indexed Ear Position. Beginners should insert
the finger no further than the first knuckle, but with practice
may eventually achieve second or even third knuckle proficiency.
For best results remember to bend the knees, maintain a forward
gaze, and concentrate.
