Piano players love improving their memory so that they can play songs without the score in front of them. In this article I will provide you with tips so that you can improve your memory.

I always recommend this for improvement. – You should firstly play a piece that you can play easily without the score in front of you.

You now need to split it into 7-14 bars so that it’s shortened. Your aim now is to create a section which can be repeated or looped and you need to make sure it sounds reasonable.

While playing your piece, try and look away from the printed score in front of you whenever you feel like you can. Repeat this for as many times as you can until you can do it without thinking, then move onto the next bar.

As you are practicing this, you can put together the bars so that everything flows, have a couple of tries at this, you’ll get there in the end.

Practice this everyday and you’ll soon start to easily improve and before you know it you won’t need that printed score in front you.

Here are some more tips –

• Don’t memorize individual notes, this will hinder you.
• Any bars that you find hard should be memorized beforehand.
• Looping your music will help when learning musical pieces

So there you have it, I tried to keep it as simple as possible for you. By doing this your confidence and progression will increase tenfold, as well as your ability to play piano songs.
