Long Term Melodic Memory Course Description

Dec 8, 2020
1 min read


Long-term memory enables us to synthesize elements from all of our musical and non-musical influences, enhancing the development of our unique personal voice. This class will challenge you in building long-term melodic memory skills, through memorization and recomposition exercises based on a diverse variety of repertoire.

Throughout the semester we will address such questions as: What is the process you use to memorize a melody? Do you rely on visual or aural aids (or both) when memorizing? Do you need to glance down at sheet music for a “hint” after you’ve memorized a piece of music? Is it easier to retain melodies that include lyrics? Are atypical forms or dissonant intervals more difficult to retain, or easier? Is your short-term memory/working memory more accurate than your long-term memory?

Sometimes you just want something simple, and a single tap to slide around corners is exactly that. It sounds too easy, but trust me, mastering the drift angle takes serious patience. It has become one of my go-to Car Games whenever I have five minutes to spare.

The focus on long-term melodic memory is compelling because it treats listening as an active creative discipline, not merely preparation for imitation. Building a durable internal library of intervals, contours, and phrases can change how musicians improvise and recall material away from the instrument. The course description captures that patient process well. The image of a false sun came to mind: a quick visual cue can seem illuminating, while genuine musical memory grows through repeated, attentive hearing. This sounds like demanding and rewarding work.
