1. Memorize right hand (keep checking that you're memorizing the section correctly) 2. Memorize left hand (keep checking that you're memorizing the section correctly) 3. Put hands together (try to do it from memory the first time & do it very slowly) 4. Move to the next section (size of the section depends on the complexity of the piece, but each step for one section shouldn't take more than 1 or 2 minutes) 5. Connect from the beginning facets to take into account when memorizing: 1. Notes 2. Rhythm 3. Fingering 4. Phrasing 5. Expression (dynamics, written words e.g. rallentando, accelerando, etc.)

The ultimate test how well you know the music is if you would be able to play it mentally away from the piano. You may need to move your fingers in order to get through the piece at first. It is a advisable to have the score next to you so you can refer to it when you are unclear about what is written. Practice this way until you can play through the entire piece away from the piano hearing all the parts and imagining all the finger and hand movements.
@douglascutler10373 жыл бұрын
Kind of memory overkill, in my view. Just practise the piece so you can start fresh from any given measure or distinct phrase including fingering plus chord or scale knowledge. This will weave analytic and muscle memory together into a very tight fabric. Enhance with slow and hands separate work for more difficult passages.

@@douglascutler1037 Is his approach radical? I'm new to the piano, pre-Grade 1. I liked the sound of what he's saying, and I like his videos generally, but my teacher isn't keen; he said it's difficult to refer again to the score once you've memorized a piece, and you might have to refer to it again. But I'm thinking now that if you've memorized it properly you wouldn't have to refer to the score again (?).
@douglascutler10373 жыл бұрын
@@pauljohnbodie5631 It's not radical but it is extremely hi-end, pro-level stuff. What is described is the type of mental agility and ability possessed by top professional concerts pianists. It can take many years to get good at and is enhanced by a thorough understanding of musical theory as well as a a highly trained inner ear. Let's say you're a top concert pianist rehearsing a concerto with orchestra and conductor. The conductor might expect you to start the performance from any bar that they might want to polish. You need to know the piece so well you can enter at any measure at full speed. I would not recommend beginners in piano concern themselves with memorizing every single note and keystroke. It is better to have an enjoyable experience of music where at least some of the time you allow things to work on auto pilot or muscle memory. Muscle memory is also an important performance component and not just the mental or analytical approach described. Also, there is nothing wrong with learning music where you still need to look at the music. While pro level solo piano is almost always performed from memory, much collaborative piano performance like choral accompaniment, vocal accompaniment or small ensemble playing is performed from the sheet music - even at the pro level.

Excellent video! I'm a self learner piano player, been practicing for 3 months, and I always thought that piano players read and played at the same time, I had no idea that memorization was so important (thank god I'm good at that). I realized that on my own when I saw that there was no way I could keep my eyes on the sheet and play at the same time. The sheet is there to you to learn the song and to help you along the way when you are playing, but your focus em 95% on the keys and, if you are playing the song with ease, it's because you memorized it.
@walken1998 жыл бұрын
you are not exactly correct, memorizing and sight reading a piece are 2 different things. A good sight reader can play a piece at tempo without ever played the piece before and this takes years, as to memorize a piece is simply to not depend on the sheet music when for example you need to perform for an audience.

Did I say no music? 12 minuets of actual play time this morning did it. Again. I repeated the entire process, only focusing on those two measures. I am 72.

Great video. Just one more suggestion (I read about it and I agree): when you practice (one hand or both together), try always chunking snippets with an overlap. So, for instance, if the first 4 bars are "A B A C | D A E D | A B B C | B D C B", supposing a 2 bars snippet, the first chunk would be "A B A C | D A E D", and the second one for instance "E D | A B B C | B D C B" (using E D of the fist chunk to make a connection with the second one). This way it will be way easier to put all of the snippets together.

I now feel motivated to find a simple piece to test this memorization method out on. Thank you for this!

However, I refer to the music sheet for a "pattern" on the "difficult" parts that my brain cannot remember. Also like "silvizzle," I am glad to know I am not the only one who "questions" the notes :).

1 of the easiest and most accessible tool for memorization is recording. Nowadays there are so many little gadgets you carry around may have a video or sound recording feature. Instead of playing the same thing over and over, you play it as many times as it takes to get the right notes into a recorder. The rest of the time listen to the playback. Once you get the tune into your head, playing the right notes become much easier.

Tips: from the last page or last few bars, the mid sections with the last page and then the opening. Psychologically gives impression you've made it to the finish by starting from the end first. Practice with your ears. Make recordings and listen or compare other's recordings. If something sounds good, chances are you haven't made mistakes. Even hum the melody. Repetition. First get the correct notes. Then rest and come back later. First few times gets choppy. Eventually get faster & more flow.
