1. Muscle memory is a double-edged sword
The principle of muscle memory is conditioned reflexes, which were discovered early by Pavlov's experiments, and this phenomenon played an important role in the process of backwriting. Everyone think about it, the piano practice itself is the process of establishing conditioned reflexes, a piece of music can only be slowly recognized from the beginning, and then repeated over and over again, playing well, playing smoothly, when your fingers play a certain note, it is naturally connected to the latter note.
Muscle memory can help everyone play notes without going through the process of brain thinking, so it is a passive memory, this memory process is unavoidable in any way, so to establish strong muscle memory, it is necessary to train more times, for example, a song 100 times is not enough, then practice 1000 times, so that muscle memory will be strengthened a lot.
However, muscle memory has its major defect, that is, once an external force breaks it, this conditioned reflex is interrupted, and the latter part cannot be connected, which is also the reason why the score is forgotten. So if the back spectrum relies only on muscle memory, it is not solid.
Another problem is that muscle memory plays the wrong sound, which is difficult to change. It is possible to play the wrong sound at the beginning of the music recognition, and through a period of practice to form muscle memory, but how can not be changed, the way to solve this problem is to either do not recognize the wrong sound at the beginning, or let the teacher correct it for you in time.
2. Melody is the basis of memory
When memorizing music, the first thing to remember is the melody. The main key music is better to remember, when practicing the piano, you can take out the main melody alone to play, clarify the direction of the melody, the relationship between sentences and sentences, and the length of the sentence, you can also play and sing while singing the name of the sound.
Melody memorization can also be carried out by listening to music, even if you are not practicing the piano, by listening to the audio materials, listening to the piece can also strengthen the memory of the melody.
It is very difficult to memorize polyphonic music, and polyphony usually has several melodies going on at the same time, so it is necessary to disassemble each part and memorize it separately to avoid mistakes.
