But I'm here today to talk about memorising music.
Thanks go to Rob for introducing the word 'mnemonic'. Memorising music is all about getting it into long term memory and being able to retrieve it. I have been successful and unsuccessful with this process. In my latest attempt (yesterday) I even tried using the mnemonic process. It did help with memorising chord progressions. For example, for A7 Dm7 G7 C, I thought of the strings on a viola. I also had three dominant 7th chords that led into key changes after sections of the piece - D7, A7 and G7. I thought of the word 'dag'. That did help. Then I thought of how I never forget names of family and old friends and how I never forget the times tables I learnt in primary school, yes, that same time when I looked up a girl's skirt.
I spent half an hour working on an easy piece that just contained a tune, in three different keys, and chords that are not complicated. Obviously repetition plays an important role. I didn't put much effort into learning my brothers' names. I guess that a lot of repetition was involved but not noticed. When memorising 'Peter' maybe, without much thought, I used a mnemonic for the male organ?
Okay, this music memorisation thing is still a work in progress. I'll push on with it today.
Maybe there will be a PART 3 to this project?
Maybe Peter will write another post before Christmas?
Time will tell.
Ciao tutti.
Make sure you get your music practice done.

It's a pity you didn't put some effort into learning correct spelling also.
Oops, proofreading! I think you made a spelling mistake in your quote. It may pay to read my post again.
Just add that to your long list of indiscretions.
It makes no difference though as you’re already going to Hell.
Don't be grumpy, Trumpy.
Talking of that idiot Trump it was good to see USA get absolutely 'trumped' by Belgium in the World Cup football (4:1) after Trump interfered in getting the red card and playing disqualification reversed of the USA star player.
There must be a god and he/she/it is a proper sports fan.
How did your visit to the doctor go?
Seems I'm in pretty good shape, which is a relief. Thank Lynn for introducing me to those hydration tablets. Thanks for your concern. I hope Lynn is getting better. xxx
Is 'trumped' supposed to be 'thumped'? I'm pleased that happened too.
I’m glad that you think your shape is pretty good. There’s something to be said for the power of positive thinking.
Lynn’s getting better - went to work today.
I hope that Shelley is well.
It’d be good to catch up soon.
No, ‘trumped’ was intended.
It’s a kind of humorous pun but I understand why you missed it.
Ah, go and drink a Cleanskin, Wine Guy.
It's canned wine for me from now on.
I just bought some of the new release The Ned pinot noir. It's bloody good.
I was working on this form of packaging back in 2007 and it's so good seeing it come to being a reality now.
I was talking to The Wine Guy.
Oh, sorry, same person.
Remember the acrostic mnemonic technique Sister Joachim taught?
Every Good Boy Does Fine (treble clef lines)
Good Boys Do Fine Always (Bass clef lines)
Father Charles Goes Down And Ends Battle (order of sharps in key signatures)
I hope you've got past that stuff now.
I thought that it was “every good boy deserves favour “*
*It was the title of a Moody Blues album.
I was taught, "Every good boy deserves fruit." "F A C E" for the spaces.
Fanny can gather daisies and eleven buttercups.
Good boys deserve fruit always.
All cows eat grass.
...bass clef
Good boys deserve fruit.
Spaces, alto clef.
