Tuesday, December 5th @ 9am PST (replays available with registration)!

SAVE YOUR SEAT HERE: https://www.ashleejyoung.com/speedreader ‌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 explain WHY this happens and I give you 3 steps to follow to ensure that it doesn’t happen anymore.

Regardless of if you’re trying to memorize your piece or not.‌

[And yes teachers, this will also work for your students!]

  1. You have a way of releasing videos that give clarity to problem areas I encounter. I'm still trying to commit to memory Prélude in C Major, and transcribed it by hand not only into just the chords but also to transcribe it to G Major. I've made an analysis, but I have to dig a little deeper for understanding. Hopefully putting it into another key will help.
    I started studying the Rule of the Octave this week, and it's helped me a lot. I would love to see how you approach this since it was the way Italians used to teach 7 year old orphans to become musical maestri.
