Step 1
Gather the information you need to memorize in a list format. If the material you want to memorize isn't in list form, rewrite it as a list. In the case of a piece of music, of course, making it into a list isn't possible, but the rest of the steps can be altered to fit in the case of music.
-
Step 2
Decide how many items (or measure of a piece of music) you can memorize in the first few seconds. Study these items briefly, then try to recite them (or play them) from memory.
-
Step 3
Add additional items (or measures of music) one or two at a time and recite (play) the list again from the first item. Continue until you have memorized the entire list or thing you are memorizing.
-
Step 4
Rehearse your memorized list or piece until you can recite it (or play it) all without pausing to think about what comes next.
