P.s. beautiful voice! (And personality) :)

Hi Dot! Good to hear from you. For memorizing I have a few methods. In no particular order: Writing down the words on a note pad. Write as much as you can remember and add things you forgot in another color pen to stick in your memory. Repeat until you can write everything correctly while hearing it in your head. Go for a walk while mouthing the words. The physicality will help get it into your body and muscle memory. Use note cards with the words and little pictures with drawings (no matter how bad) sometimes using images can help things stick. The add a line method. Singing: Start with the first line. Sing the first line and then the second line, then first second, third. Always adding a line then going back to the beginning. Looking at the music and "singing it in your head" before going and bed and sleeping with the score. I swear to god it helps. When you wake up lay in bed for a bit and try to sing in your head what you were looking at the night before. I hope some of these help and best of luck!
