Free Online Event – Deep Learning & Memorisation!

By Informance, 2022-06-02 Posted in: Events, Learning Pieces

As a result of the incredible response we received for the free online event we ran on 29th March, we’ve decided to schedule another on Saturday 11th June @ 17:00 – 18:00 BST (GMT +1). This session will feature an abbreviated version of one of our other most popular workshops on deep learning and memorisation.

free online event - deep learning & memorisation

Beyond muscle memory

Playing a piece over and over eventually makes the muscular movements automatic, but this muscle memory can be extremely unreliable when under pressure in a performing situation. In this online workshop, Graham Fitch explores the different memory systems and introduces various tools that will help you go beyond simply relying on muscle memory when preparing for a performance.

Workshop content

In this workshop, you will learn:

  • About the learning process and the memory systems involved i.e. muscular, aural and analytic
  • “Muscles last” – How to develop the other memory systems alongside to supplement muscle memory
  • A simple, personalised approach to analysis which keeps the mind engaged and alert during practice
  • How to use effective tools for deep learning including deconstruction, tracking, and controlled stops

The material will be useful for piano teachers and pianists of an intermediate level and above. The session will be recorded and all participants will receive a link to download the video. Therefore, if you are unable to attend the session on the day, you will still be able to watch the video at your convenience.

Sign-up!

Whether you choose to perform with the score or not, this workshop will equip you with effective tools to ensure that you know a work on a much deeper level!
