Some people, especially older friends, like guqin and want to learn it, but they are always worried that they can't remember the sheet music.

Memorization is indeed an important skill in learning the guqin. The piano players often memorize the piano scores by heart, and then they can play wonderful music like flowing clouds and water.

So, is piano score really difficult to remember? How can we memorize music faster and better?

Here are several memorization methods for your reference:

1. Simplify the complexity and reduce the whole to zero

The score can be divided into phrases and sections for practice and memorization.

Just like memorizing the text when I was a child, first memorize the first paragraph, then memorize the second paragraph, then memorize the first two paragraphs together; then memorize the third paragraph, then memorize the first three paragraphs together... …and so on.

In this way, after you have memorized it piece by piece, it is much easier to make it into a piece.

2. Focus on memorizing difficult sentences and error-prone paragraphs

Some phrases and passages are relatively difficult to remember or prone to errors due to difficult fingerings, many string changes, or due to large changes in rhythm and special melody.

Then, focus on memory, give more attention and practice.

3. Listen to more recordings and hum the melody

Those who draw bamboo must first "have a good mind"; those who play the qin must first "have a melody in their heart".

Listening to more recordings, singing more melodies, and even trying to hum the "Yan, Yi, Chuo, Zhuo" in the score accurately will definitely help memorize the score.

4. Silently recite fingering and imagine playing the piano

When sitting idle or lying down, you can imagine yourself playing the piano, imagine the fingering and position movement of your left and right hands, and flash the sequence of performances scene by scene in your mind like a movie.

This method will make the memory especially deep, especially for friends who are temporarily away from home and do not have a piano at hand!

Of course, there are many other methods of memorizing notation, and their effects are also different and vary from person to person.

In short, all methods serve the purpose, as long as they help memorize the score, it must be a good method!
