Heres a free lesson.

Learn it BACKWARDS. start at the last measure, learn it, then learn the measure before that and keep going. That way, even if you dont play perfectly the measure your trying to memorize, you can keep playing and further solidify what youve already done. It sounds like it would be confusing but its not. Give it a shot.




I have never had anyone give this suggestion, but I can really see how it would work. I'm will be using this for my line this year.

Memorizing music is really easy if you have a recording of the full band playing it. Listen to that until you get to know the melody really well, like you can recite it (helps if your director picked good music) and then play your part along with the melody. You will see how your part fits in with the music and automatically remember it when the time comes around to play it with the band. This really works for any instrument... but I find it best on snare.

Read the first measure. When you get it perfect play it and add the second measure. when you get both perfect, play the fist 3 measures. Ect... it takes a very long time, but you will have the entire song memorized. Except you have to work a tad harder on the last measures because you didnt play them as many times. You can also do that with just like the first 8 meausres. Then restart the process for the next 8.

Best tip is to read the music without playing it and put it with a recording... other than that everyone has there own unique way to Learn and teach Music.

Besides what everyone has said - Try to make it so that it's just muscle memory. You'll play it without even realizing it. And make sure that when you memorize it, you don't learn it wrong. It's really hard to fix something after you've been playing it the wrong way, especially if it's muscle memory.

Every once in a while, play without the music and see how far you can get. I think you'll be surprised.

ok no offense but i think this thread is a waste of time, not b/c it's a bad question but u will never get a right answer, no two ppl play exactly the same, so no two ppl memorize the same just try different things and find out what works for u, this is from somebody who learned almost 400 measures in a week

Then if its a waste of time stop reading. There are some great suggestions on how to memorize music in the thread. You may have your way, but it is a good question, and there are many ways to approach it.
