A short guide to memorizing music

1. Read the Music
-Look at the key signature and time signature
-Look for sections that repeat

2. Find patterns
-Many phrases are often 4 bars
-Can you find phrases that repeat?

3. Listen to the song, if possible
-Read the music while you listen

4. Break the song into smaller parts(phrases)
-Notice, you have not even played your instrument yet

5. Practice each phrase slowly and carefully
-Striving towards perfect practice is good
-Any mistakes made in the beginning will only have to be
corrected later

6. Memorize each phrase
-Use thoughtful, disciplined practice
-Ask your self, "Where is this phrase going?"

7. Put the phrases all together
-Do this one piece at a time
-Sometimes it is helpful to move from the end back
toward the beginning

8. Practice the song all together
-Gradually increase the tempo

9. Pretend you are on stage and play your song
-Where did you make mistakes?
-Go back and work on these areas first

10. Perfect and play a real concert!
