Totally Useful Strategies for Memorizing Music

Loved it. Am using it now for memorizing vocal melodies and for memorizing fingerstyle guitar solos and instrumental breaks. Brilliant, bite-sized book. Concise. Loved the narration. I will be seeking other audiobooks read by this narrator, and as member of Toastmasters International and a former teacher of English as a Second Language, I am very picky. These are techniques that you can pair together or pick and choose from. The author also goes into combining or using separately, your choice, the three primary modes of memorization: visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
