December 18-19, Piacenza, Italy: Effective Memorization Strategies for Pianists — Mental Practice Workshop. “Nicolini”Conservatory.

December 18 - December 19

The present workshop on effective memorization strategies based on mental practice illustrates techniques by which someone intending to practice creates a mental representation of a preconceived idea or action to enhance performance. Through increased focus and concentration, pianists will learn how to study portions of a score in their minds without spending considerable time at the piano.

Among the techniques illustrated in this workshop are:

  • Motor imagery (visualizing the feeling of moving the fingers).
  • Organizing groupings found in the text (also through formal, melodic, and rhythmic analysis).
  • Singing and feeling intervallic relationships.
  • Scene memory (rapid eye movements to identify the next position on the key).
  • Switches (slight changes of patterns often resulting in memory slips).

These tools are helpful, and while they cannot replace actual keyboard practice, they are invaluable mental rehearsal devices.
