Memorization

Now that you have both lines memorized at reduced speed, your next task is to combine them and memorize the whole chorus at full speed.  As always, memorization is the most challenging step, especially with more syllables.  Just remember to be patient and take breaks when necessary. 

I have broken the process down into steps.  For each step:

  • Press play and sing along with the artist until the end of the track.
  • Try to recall the lyrics from memory without the aid of the audio.  If you cannot do this, repeat the process until you can.
  • Once you are able to sing the lyrics out loud to yourself from memory, move on to the next step.
