63. by heart, teaching memorization

20 minutes

Have you or your students experienced these worst-case scenarios?

Go up to perform…can’t remember the

starting notes.

Or the performance is going pretty well, then get stuck and can’t finish!

Or a huge break in the middle or skipped parts!

Mortifying! Traumatic even!

I know from experience!

I share some masterful ideas to help students

play by heart.

I‘d recommend pausing this episode and clicking on episode 41 “teach how they learn, 3 sensory modes” for an overview of visual, kinesthetic, and auditory learners. In this episode 63 I talk specifically about how to teach piano memorization differently to the 3 different learning styles. One thing that helps us all….Starting places! Have you heard of them?

Let me show you these and more memorization hacks in a live Zoom Masterclass next week: Memorization Mastery.

Thursday, March 21st. 10:30 am Mountain time.

See you there!
