I remember Robert Goldsand saying to memorize as soon as possible but never said how it can be done. Thanks again and let's hear more about memorization as well.

So, are you saying that one should immediately begin ‘memorizing ‘ Bach prior to deciding on a definitive fingering?

[@shelleysouza]

In his video "How to Start Learning a New Piece" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHEYayVib2sn6M) he highlights fingering, musicality, repetition, etc., as well as spending time with the music before approaching the keyboard.

I am very sorry but I have been playing the piano for about 80 years. About 40 of those years as a .😮professional , Ihave recorded the Bach “48” here in Australia ,have given innumerable performances. Concertos, solo recital s, etc. And for many years have been absolutely convinced that there is only ONE way to memorise and that is through repetition. Not mechanical repetition but every time you play the piece you play it as artistically as possible.All other “methods “ are ,in my opinion a complete waste of time.

[@kyliestorm_music]

True. I play Freeform guitar, patterns and repetition. Repetition of different patterns, then mix them up

[@bensonby2]

the other methods are definitely much more important and much more reliable

The title of this video, How to Memorise Using Pattern Recognition, is about understanding and memorising pattern recognition. He never says "this is the only way to memorise." He's giving people different tools by which to develop their own musicality in a way that's far reaching and not stuck in the mentality of "there is only one way." In his video "How to Start Learning a New Piece" (kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHEYayVib2sn6M) he highlights fingering, musicality, repetition, etc., as well as spending time with the music before approaching the keyboard. In my experience, his combination of "playing at the speed of no mistakes and learning one bar plus one note" (shown in the How Start Learning a New Piece and other videos on how to practise) has not only developed my self-confidence tenfold in my practice sessions but also createed a sense of well-being that inspires me to return to practice the next day with sense of rejuvenation and interest. This feeling of well-being spills over to everything else I do in my life. I have a fantastic teacher so finding Graham Fitch has been a double blessing. I find every one of his videos inspiring and helpful. Each piece of advice and demonstration he offers on how to play beautifully can be applied to any instrument. I play the harp.
