North Shore Music Teachers Association monthly meeting.

Program presented by Janna Williamson

When faced with an upcoming memorized performance, most students will practice their piece by playing through over and over, and then, in the moment of performance, “hope for the best.” In this presentation, Janna Williamson will discuss the physiological and psychological realities of memory. Offering over 35 practice techniques for students of all levels, Janna will empower teachers to help students build their memorization muscles, overcome typical memorization problems, and rebound from memory slips. Specific repertoire examples from the intermediate levels will be used.
