Hello all,
Just wondering what approaches people have found successful for =
memorizing tunes. For me, it's always been like pulling teeth. I much =
prefer having one eye on a lead sheet, which is, of course, taboo in =
most situations. Having been brought up learning music in the school =
system, even with jazz, we were always reading and always permitted to =
read the changes. Consequently, I've always had a tough time breaking =
away from that. =20
All the best,
Rob McCallum
