Estratégias para a memorização de repertório musical

Abstract

The objective of this work is to research strategies for memorizing musical repertoire. This work brings contributions for teachers and especially for students who are often frustrated at not being able to play a piece from memory. This research's methodology is literature review, involving work on the topic studied in English, since research in Portuguese is scarce. Through what was presented in this article, we observed that there are a range of strategies (retrospective of thoughts and focuses of attention during practice; codification of music in terms of structure and tonal relationships; construction of performance cues based on the hierarchical organization of musical structures, among others) that are related to the level of maturity on the instrument, together with dedication and persistence, can bring good results to the instrumentalist during the performance.
