February 5th, 2025 – 9:30am – General Meeting, 10:30am – Guest Speaker: Dr. Michelle Huang on The Art of Memorization on Zoom.
Workshop introduction:
“I played through it without the music just fine before!”
We have all been there. What makes someone a better memorizer than others? In this talk, we will look at the four different types of memory: visual, tactile, aural, and analytical, and how to best use them to securely memorize our pieces for the next performance. We will learn that there is a direct correlation between excellent practice habits and memory, and how the act of storytelling can really help to secure that memory.
