How to Memorize a Song

This is the best way to memorize a song AFTER listening to it many times on a CD. 

1. Start at the beginning with the song with only your part.  Then go until you make a mistake.

2. Look at the music and figure out how the last part you knew and the new part you didn't know connect.  Usually it is not the phrases themselves but the connection between the last part of the phrase and beginning of the next phrase that is the problem.

3. Start at the beginning again.  And repeat step 1 and 2.   Always start at the beginning and just add chunk after chunk.

4. Once you can consistently do it with the voice then repeat steps 1-3 with the minus with no words.


Please work on passing the new songs in this order:

1. I See the Light
2. I Believe I Can Fly
3. Circle of Life
4. Go the Distance


Please make sure you child has a simple way to listen to a CD in their room or bathroom.  CD players are quite cheap at Walmart.  CD Walkman's are usually still available.
