This year my students have Piano Key Chains that we use for a variety of things; one of which is memorization. My students are encouraged to memorize pieces they are currently working on. For each piece they can play from memory (with all the dynamics and articulations in place without prompting from me) they get a hole punched in their “Memorization Card” on the key chain and 3 bonus beads on the Practice Chains.
Joseph, Annabelle, and Claire are my top 3 memorizers so far this fall.
- Claire has 2 holes punched in her memorization card already!
