Memorizing short pieces seems to be easy but how can you memorize a long piece in a few days? A piece of music exists in the form of a written composition in musical notation or as a single acoustic event (a live performance or recorded track). If composed before being performed, music can be performed from memory, through written musical notation, or through a combination of both. Compositions comprise musical elements, which vary widely from person to person and between cultures. Improvisation is the act of composing during the performance, assembling musical elements spontaneously.
People who practice composition are called composers. Compositional techniques are the methods used to create music. Useful skills in composition include writing musical notation, instrumentation, and handling musical ensembles (orchestration). Other skills include extended techniques such as improvisation, musical montage, preparing instruments, using non-traditional instruments, and other methods of sound production.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • peace and quiet
  • chair
  • musical instrument
  • your musical piece
  1. Step 1

    First, you need to exercise. Then play the first measure until you get confused.

  2. Step 2

    Then, repeat over and over the measure that you get easy, and then after you memorize the measure you repeat over and over again. Try not to look at the piece.

  3. Step 3

    After you memorize the first measure to the measure you last memorized. Play the next measure and then, go to the first measure again.

  4. Step 4

    You just need to repeat this over and over again until you finally get to the last measure.

Tips & Warnings
  • You can rest your mind after the measures you memorize.
  • It is more better to memorize longer musical pieces so that the music will be longer, and your IQ will get higher and higher.
  • Try to have a music teacher with you so he/she can accompany you in memorizing and teaching you.
  • do not memorize and memorize, and you don't rest, because you also need to rest sometime.
  • do not memorize so fast because some people can have mistakes in the beat or the notes.
