Overview
This course teaches a specific method for training your brain to memorize music, so that you can eventually play piano without looking at your hands. The approach isn't unique to piano — it draws on a principle also used in disciplines like Tai Chi — and the course frames it as a transferable skill for improving memory and performance under pressure.
Who it's for
Piano students who want to move beyond reading from the score and build genuine confidence performing from memory.
Key takeaways
- A structured method for training your brain to retain music
- Practical tips to support the memorization process
- A worked example memorizing Henry Purcell's Aria, applying the method step by step
Taught by instructor Mikhail, who guides you through the same process he uses as a professional musician.
About this course
With the right kind of approach, you will be able to play the piano without looking at your hands. However, before you are able to do this, there is a lot of work to be done. And I am hoping to teach you how to do that work.
There is a very specific method of training your brain to memorize music outlined in this course. In fact, it's a way that can be and is used in other disciplines outside of piano playing. Tai Chi is actually based around this principle. There is a very powerful way of teaching your brain in a way that makes your performances near to perfect. After learning this method, you will be amazed by how simple it is and you will start applying it wherever memory or brain work is involved.
After giving you some tips and methods which you can use to improve your music memorization process, I will go through how I would learn and memorize a piece by learning Henry Purcell's Aria, a fairly simple piece for the piano, with you. That way you will also get a practical understanding of how music is memorized on the piano.
So, join me in this course and learn to train your brain like a professional musician!
Mikhail.
