Any tips on memorizing? I have one work I'm playing that I have
memorized.. except for *five*measures* [!]. I can't figure out why I have such a block with them and don't know how to fix that. On another I
worker pretty hard to remember an eight measure chunk and I was doing great.. but when I tried it the next day it was pretty much gone.
Thanks! /bernie\

Memorizing is not a mystery if you consult the science, but it works very differently than most everyone thinks. The answers are in cognitive science.the memorization thing once you figure it out is simple.
Look into retrieval practice (which is also the cure for stage fright, assuming you've mastered the music, and there is a cure if you have not).
This is the book for understanding that www.makeitstick.net
This is Molly Gebrian, a violin professor who also got a neuroscience degree 'just for fun'. My kind of professor. Here is some good information on memorizing. Read the research she references and construct a memorization model. That part is hard, but

I would offer to coach you through this process, but I don't have any openings.

Best of luck.

Oh man, I've forgotten more memorization tricks than I can remember!
