Thanks, Tatyana. Might I also recommend "Reverse Learning ": A simple yet astonishing process which easily and quickly commits large amounts of information to memory. It’s perfect for actors, public speakers and poets, and most especially for musicians. Here’s how to apply the technique to memorising a piece of music: First, play through your chosen piece from the music several times until you’re generally familiar with it. Now, immediately start the memorisation process: play the final bar of the piece. Play it again, this time without looking at the music. If you got any notes wrong, play it again looking at the music. Keep practising until you can play the bar 3 times perfectly from memory. Go back to the second to last bar, and play it from the music. At the end of the bar, continue playing the final bar from memory. Look away from the music as you do so. Repeat until both the final bars are memorised. Go back now to the third to last bar, and repeat the process. You’ve just memorised the final two bars, so you should easily be able to play them by memory. Keep going in this manner, diligently working on one bar at a time, and always continuing to the end of the piece. As you work through this process, you’ll realise that once you start playing, the further on you get in the piece, the better you know it. The first few bars you play are the new ones, and the following bars are more and more familiar. You’ll be delighted to discover that within a very short time, you can memorise an entire piece. During this process, you will learn to treat every bar as an “entrance point”, meaning that going forward, you will be able to start at ANY bar, and continue playing to the end. This idea is not new - it was proposed by Edward de Bono, and is by far the MOST effective method I know of, by which to memorise music, plays, scripts, speeches, etc, in the fastest possible time.

You cover a lot of ground others do not, and really appreciate you for the guidance! When you explained the difference between practice and play, I anticipated that there would be people who would have said "well, isn't that obvious?" But for me, I hadn't thought of that and it changed the way I learn for ever, but also made everything to do with progress so satisfying. I wanted to say thanks and just to tell you that you make a massive difference for us. Really really appreciate what you do! Thanks.

a good method I use to is to work backwards ,start at last measure and play it , then second last ,third last ,then play last line , then use the memory techniques explained here ,all of them ,thoroughly memorize last line today ,tomorrow 2 nd last line , you should too be able to play any measure in the piece ,pick a random number and play it , Douglas niedt says that most if not all performance mess ups is not technical thing but memory lapse as tatyana says the passive memory crumble s under pressure which then wrecks your confidence for future performance s

@pottythepirate4 жыл бұрын
Yes, it's an idea originated by Edward de Bono. Learning backwards is super-fast and extremely efficient. I always aim to memorise new pieces within about 1-2 days of starting to learn them. It's so much easier to work on technique, style, presentation, etc, if the piece is memorised. Last year I memorised Capricho Arabe in it's entirety, from scratch, in a day. Similarly I memorised Recuerdos de la Alhambra in a day. Still working on them now, but since I don't need to consult the music, it's easy to practise. Using scores simply adds a layer of mental effort between the brain and the fingers.

i remembered an article on memorization is to play from the end of the bars of the music score rather than from beginning. Check the music in what key; chords, major, minor, or modulation patterns, sharp or flat, and of course the overall structure of the musical form...like bass notes, melody and harmony structure. Of course, musician or guitarist should possessed strong foundation of music theory and music history in order to play and interpret those classical music more expressively. This will differentiate between amateur guitarist and professional guitarist.

Thank you Maestra- excellent video. Yup- most of us play with muscle memory, we can all do better with aural and conceptual memory. Hearing the notes and understanding the progression of the notes/chords, how they move, and how they resolve harmonically helps. We could all do better by playing in your masterclass to improve! But if it’s not not possible, videoing yourself helps since the camera shows everything 😅😱. Right now I’m driving myself crazy re-learning the Sor Etude 12. Lots of quick shifts and intervals...

This is right. The best way to remember something is to be so familiar and passionate about it that you can explain it in the pub to your friends impromptu and without notes. Similarly, Jordan Peterson says one should know 10 times more about a subject than what one puts in a speech about it.

Really good lesson. Thank you. I experienced that quite a bit when I was a young boy when I was expected by my parents and older brothers to perform at either church or school. It may have been related to my lack of personal investment in what they were expecting. Later when I was a young man it rarely if ever happened but ( as you suggest ) I was much more active about what I was learning. It's a shocking and scary feeling when it happens though.

Another thought: making those entances is what music theory is needed for in practise. In order to understand how the compisition is constructed you have to understand and know the names of the musical phenomena you are working with. It can be the music theory you learn on lessons or your own conceptualisation but it has to be there.

Wow. This sounds like a lot of work, but would definitely be worth it. I compose, arrange, record, produce/engineer, mix, master, teach the rest of my group, rehearse and perform all my own own work. You’d think that after all of this I would know and could remember the whole of every piece inside out, back to front, upside down and in any randomised order conceivable, but no. When performing I have to use cheat-sheets (if not the entire score), and if I haven’t played any particular piece for some time I don’t have the slightest idea how any of it goes and couldn’t even begin to play any of it; not a note, not a chord, not a word. At times I hear others humming or singing my work, so it’s not the quality/memorability of a piece... it’s me. I thought for the longest time I was developing some kind of anterograde amnesia, or horror-of-horrors early on-set dementia, but I think you may just have handed me a lifeline through a ray of sunshine and given me hope. Thank you.

I was forced to learn this early on because for the longest time I didn’t have the fretboard memorized and couldn’t read guitar sheet music or sight or read from it. So I would use tabs , and I wouldn’t sight read the tab. I would learn everything in sections. But most importantly it would never be by measures specifically but by phrases at first then form parts by progression and melody. I would never sight read the tab either. I would look at the tab and play the few chords and melody phrases really broken so in my mind I’m like it’s these together then look away from the tab and play them over really slowly and implement the metronome after that. My first final for college that I played for the judges was prelude in dm / Asturias/ saraband and double in bm/ and a piece by Matteo carcassi . These were all learned from tab in this way and I never got a blackout. I understand this isn’t the best way because tabs are a no no but for memorizing it worked for me and I could not stand learning easier pieces because I was obsessed with learning the ones I loved. My guitar teacher was cool with me learning the pieces I wanted and I showed him that I put in the time on my own so he didn’t tell me I needed to learn easier songs. I had been playing power metal for years before even picking up a classical guitar so I had the finger dexterity. So my first full piece I learned was prelude in dm by Bach .

Here's my question-What would happen if you have not played a piece for several months or a year or two. Can you play it from memory then?I have incorrectly learned my pieces through passive memory.At some point when I "know" them,I no longer am actively engaged in playing them,I am just holding the guitar and letting it sing to me without much effort on my part.However,if I do not play the piece often it will literally "go away" like a computer having a head crash.I am playing again after a break of 3 years and all my pieces are gone.Thanks for your inspiration as I enjoy your tutorials and performances.
