Memory is ALWAYS at play…
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 teach you 3 method that you can use to memorize piano music.
These methods will help you play your piece smoother and with less mistakes - regardless of if you’re trying to memorize your piece or not.
[And yes teachers, this will also work for your students!]
I can’t wait for you to learn these 3 methods.

Cheers Ashlee,
Very useful ways to memorise!
I’m glad! Cheers!
Thanks for bringing this video Ashlee.I know that I haven't even watched this video yet,but the title reminds me of one of my thoughts.Scott here process---jotting down everything about the song being studied and practiced.
Love it! Welcome!
There are literally thousands of ways to memorize. Tactile kinesthetic muscle memory, listening and analyzing the score, study score away from piano. Sing everything, know what the harmony is and where its going. Repete ..repete..repete...slowly and so on. Be aware of what intervals you are playing. Play only the melody and sing along while counting and the bassline as well. Play notes with one finger to check what you heard. Sing lines away from the keyboard. Do silent mental practice and hear the sound internally etc. 🎉❤😂
Indeed! The list is honestly endless - that’s why I can make so many videos on the topic! Lol great suggestions
Lots of interesting ponders.
Great tips! Thank you for sharing! ❤️
You’re welcome!
Very cleaver , the memory starts
Ok I am going to do your reading class . I think of performing as using 1 of 3 different methods . Reading , reading to memory /no reading in performance , and playing by ear . Sounds like you like to memorize. Is this logical way to understand the process?
Awesome! Sounds pretty logical but there are more steps in between that will help 👍🏻
Man the human brain is amazing
Right?!
I call it muscle memory... Hearing it while you say it out loud helps your hands with the muscle memory with the feel of it ! I like the number method the " memory starts," I have not really used that method or thought about it.. Excellant info!!! Lee 3-2-24
How often should we practice a piece after learning it and already played it to no forget how to do it?
This depends on your goals and how well you learn it but I’d say minimum once a week to keep it in your fingers. However, I wouldn’t recommend playing it up to tempo if you’re only doing it once a week.
@@AshleeYoungMusicStudio thanks for answering me!
Really like her outro music!
Thanks!
Hey Ashlee! Great video! Curious, what is the black thing above your keys on the birds eye view and what's the purpose?
It’s the fall board and it’s not on purpose but I can’t get rid of it :)
Its part of the reflection of the fallboard. Moving the camera slightly towards the piano would eliminate it.
thanks dude
I have been disagreeing with my piano teacher for years about how to memorise pieces. She insists that muscle memory is all-important whereas I maintain that relentless drilling and repetition fails to use the wonder of the human mind and leads to boredom. Watching your video has made me feel vindicated!
Oh I’m so glad!! And if that’s the case you should check out this one where I go into even more detail on the four types :)

Any suggestions on how many pieces to work on during practices? I get frustrated with adding songs to the point that my practice time is too long....but, I don't want to forget pieces I have mastered.
I talk about this a lot in this video: th-cam.com/video/wt0l_0DGG3E/w-d-xo.htmlsi=2YVugfKNpyoyhHGW
Hi Ashley
One editional thing is learn to improvise and play by ear as another skill. Take a phrase from a piece and use it to improvise with using the material that's there as a template. 🎉❤😂
Absolutely - great idea!
How much do you think memory is influenced by singing? I do not sing. Never have. In fact I have some pretty big emotional baggage due to my (lack of) singing voice.
As I'm a real music theory nerd, I know about the Guidonian Hand, which is ancient. For centuries European musicians have used it, and the hand occupies 10% of the brain. The TMJ (vocal chords) occupy 45% of the brain. The auditory system is another large part, so music is a real whole body experience. That is for musicians.
Playing the piano with the hands should also have connections with the notes and music. You had an interesting discussion when you played the Eb chord. Maybe there should be some touching patterns in the hand to help memorize music?
Just an idea.
Oh it’s totally influenced! Aural (ear) memory is one of the 4 types of memory for piano and to strengthen your aural memory singing is required :)
So interesting, thanks for sharing!!
Going back to the start is DEATH.
Right?!
Right?
