    Memory is ALWAYS at play…
    Regardless of if your end goal is completely memorizing a piece.
    From the moment you decide to learn a piece, your brain is actively working to remember the notes you play, and how you play them.
    It’s how you can sit down one day and practice….and then come to the piano the next day and remember what you learned.
    And if you’re not actively working on strengthening your memory skills, you’ve likely encountered a situation where you made a mistake and couldn’t find your way back.
    You crashed and burned and had to start the piece over.
    In today’s tutorial, I teach you 3 method that you can use to memorize piano music.
    These methods will help you play your piece smoother and with less mistakes - regardless of if you’re trying to memorize your piece or not.
    [And yes teachers, this will also work for your students!]
    I can’t wait for you to learn these 3 methods.

    There are literally thousands of ways to memorize. Tactile kinesthetic muscle memory, listening and analyzing the score, study score away from piano. Sing everything, know what the harmony is and where its going. Repete ..repete..repete...slowly and so on. Be aware of what intervals you are playing. Play only the melody and sing along while counting and the bassline as well. Play notes with one finger to check what you heard. Sing lines away from the keyboard. Do silent mental practice and hear the sound internally etc. 🎉❤😂

    I call it muscle memory... Hearing it while you say it out loud helps your hands with the muscle memory with the feel of it ! I like the number method the " memory starts," I have not really used that method or thought about it.. Excellant info!!! Lee 3-2-24

    Ok I am going to do your reading class . I think of performing as using 1 of 3 different methods . Reading , reading to memory /no reading in performance , and playing by ear . Sounds like you like to memorize. Is this logical way to understand the process?

    • @AshleeYoungMusicStudio

    How often should we practice a piece after learning it and already played it to no forget how to do it?

    • @AshleeYoungMusicStudio
      @AshleeYoungMusicStudio  4 месяца назад +3

      This depends on your goals and how well you learn it but I’d say minimum once a week to keep it in your fingers. However, I wouldn’t recommend playing it up to tempo if you’re only doing it once a week.

    Hey Ashlee! Great video! Curious, what is the black thing above your keys on the birds eye view and what's the purpose?

    • @AshleeYoungMusicStudio
      @AshleeYoungMusicStudio  4 месяца назад +1

      It’s the fall board and it’s not on purpose but I can’t get rid of it :)

    • @alanclarkeau

      Its part of the reflection of the fallboard. Moving the camera slightly towards the piano would eliminate it.

    One editional thing is learn to improvise and play by ear as another skill. Take a phrase from a piece and use it to improvise with using the material that's there as a template. 🎉❤😂

    I have great difficulties with singing or humming (probably since my voice broke, decades from now, because children song go still well), which is really frustrating because I love melodies. Even when I record it, my singing moves within 3 notes. Is there a way for aural memory in small, very simple steps?

    • @AshleeYoungMusicStudio
      @AshleeYoungMusicStudio  Месяц назад +1

      YES! I'd recommend first to play a note and match the pitch with your voice. Do this for 1-5 minutes a day for a few weeks and it will help. Sounds obvious, but few will go to the effort to actually do it. The website Teoria will also help.

    • @s4kupfers
      @s4kupfers Месяц назад

      @@AshleeYoungMusicStudio Sounds reasonable and hard work 😉. But how can I verify that I'm on pitch? It's like I hear am right or wrong. Like when playing piano I can't hardly hear my mistakes, it's like a built in autotune that corrects in my head. Do you know that correction feature?

      @@AshleeYoungMusicStudio I tried some similar exercise. Something puzzled me: I did the intervall quite well in the midfle c octave, whereas I mixed up perfect 5 to octave or 5 to 3rd on lower and higher octaves resp. quite often. Did you know of this.
      I'll start easy in the convinient range.

    How much do you think memory is influenced by singing? I do not sing. Never have. In fact I have some pretty big emotional baggage due to my (lack of) singing voice.
    As I'm a real music theory nerd, I know about the Guidonian Hand, which is ancient. For centuries European musicians have used it, and the hand occupies 10% of the brain. The TMJ (vocal chords) occupy 45% of the brain. The auditory system is another large part, so music is a real whole body experience. That is for musicians.
    Playing the piano with the hands should also have connections with the notes and music. You had an interesting discussion when you played the Eb chord. Maybe there should be some touching patterns in the hand to help memorize music?
    Just an idea.

    • @AshleeYoungMusicStudio
      @AshleeYoungMusicStudio  4 месяца назад +1

      Oh it’s totally influenced! Aural (ear) memory is one of the 4 types of memory for piano and to strengthen your aural memory singing is required :)
      So interesting, thanks for sharing!!

    I have been disagreeing with my piano teacher for years about how to memorise pieces. She insists that muscle memory is all-important whereas I maintain that relentless drilling and repetition fails to use the wonder of the human mind and leads to boredom. Watching your video has made me feel vindicated!
