‌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!]

You described perfectly what happened to me when I played Rachmaninoff's Prelude in G Minor as my high school recital piece. At the end of one section, I completely forgot what was next. I took a breath and started back at the beginning of a section I remembered. My piano teacher, a concert pianist, came up to me laughing. "I am the only one who knew you forgot," he said to me. This was an incredibly helpful video.

I’m 85 and love doing all of these ways to strengthen my memory. Age doesn’t matter and don’t lean on that copout…….!❤ 10:05

That was a ton of great information. Thank you
-
Thanks Ashlee for a wonderful lesson. I can't remember where I learned this trick, but one way to help your muscle memory is to play these passages HARD when you practice them.
-
Thank you for sharing your professional insight. Your information is extremely helpful for memorizing piano pieces. I subscribed. Thanks.cheers

thank you Ashlee !

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.

Cool, this is good for us older players. I've always has trouble memorizing pieces, this helps a lot.

Im 67 yo now, and started playing piano last year. I really enjoy the music theory and I never thought how easy it is to comprehend. I just noticed learning and playing piano is like an exercising my brain so much challenging and noticed it increases my awareness, focus and mindfulness. No wonder all musicians are intelligent people.
