they learn this by rote. [drumbeats] do it slowly. (averill) eventually, the idea is that they can then bring something of their own style, something of their own spirit to the music and transform it-- make it something personal. take the example of jazz musicians who study solos of previous jazz greats who learn to reproduce those solos note by note. then they're able to take their own solos to begin to do something brilliant and creative and imaginative. (redman) i usually say that i'm self-taught because i never had a real private instructor as a saxophonist. but my teachers i consider to be the great musicians from the past and the great musicians from the present. i've learned from listening to the records. i consider sonny rollins one of my greatest teachers even though i've never met the man. so the way i've learned is by listening and by playing with great musicians both great older musicians-- my elders, masters-- but also with my peers. i think i've learned just as much playing with other young musicians who are in the same

your rote really does matter. it will be an exciting election. it does come down to whether people turn out. there is certainly a lot of energy to do that. it has been four difficult years for the democrats and it was interesting to see the president's order of trying to get that enthusiasm back that he had four years ago by saying, stick with me, keep your hope alive, essentially. he has to go out there and we will see how the energy is on the trail for him tomorrow and on the weeks to come. >> the campaign moves from here to other states. we appreciate your time. >> that is it for us from the time warner cable rain in charlotte, north carolina and the 2012 democratic national convention. the discussion will continue tomorrow and right now, as we have been drug these conventions, we will show you take ao's commentary little while ago. >> >> welcome to politico what -- live. welcome. raucous political hub. i want you to comment. we have this big night. it was obama's moment, it was a sharp and tough speech. a long defense of his years in office.

strapped, not having foreign language classes but putting a bunch of kids in a classroom teaching them rote about english and math and that sort of thing. why are we surprised that the public school system is failing? >> i a agree with you. i'm not saying that we should have standardized testing, i believe you went to new york city schools as i did. we had the regents exam where you could grade up to certain levels. my point is that, itest r exists you deal with those also fact that the children aren't learning. they're not being taught the abcs it's all about end-base teaching which is not successful at all. we need to go back to basics. reading, writing and arithmetic. until they get -- we have big issue in baltimore in the complaint is that the buildings are crumbling. you know what, there was a time when my parents went a school that was one room and one shared a book for four or five grades they were very successful. not about the building it's about what is going on in the pulling. i think parents need to be better informed that the children deserve more and aren't getting what they'r

these tests are about rote memorization as opposed to how you make sure that kids actually know things, and creatively think. >> let me just press you on that for a moment. because we understand from chicago public schools, they say that the growth on tests, that's only based on 25%. >> actually, look, i -- i -- you know, neither -- neither the school system, or myself, should be talking about the substance of what's going on in the negotiations. but, that is not what's going on in the negotiations. the issue in terms of the chicago negotiations on evaluation is that the good -- the best evaluation systems are ones where there are a whole bunch of measures. what's happening here is that testing is actually driving teaching. and that doesn't work for tests that are currently administered. the testing experts have said they have no validity in terms of evaluating teachers. we have negotiated evaluation systems all across the country. the ones that really work, like the ones in new haven, are ones that are done correctly, and carefully, and collaboratively. >> there are studies, including
