Aural matter Listening lies at the heart of all good music-making developing aural awareness is fundamental to musical training because having a “music ear” impacts on all aspects of musicianship. It is about being able to hear or see music,then process and understand it internally–in the “musical mind”. Through “musical ear,” It is about making listening an active process.

Memory
Brain is a keyboard performance on silent music
The silent music is your Memory
The more you memory the more you confident, The more you memory the more you independent, The more you memory the more you creative, Memory is an ability of successful professionals in every field, Develop “inner ear” not only is the music being generated by the music ear but hear ear can then go on to refine and polish what It hears.
Through right-left brain and Multi-sensory teaching develop the Eyes, ears minds and hands cohesively that lead to students’ multi-sensory memories such as visual, auditory and kinaesthetic memory, this multi-sensory memory which is vital important ability that encourage student to use“Brain” first. “Think ten times plays one time rather than play ten times thinks one time”.
The nuts and bolts of memories is Mental and aural first and then Muscular memory come
last, undoubtedly establish the character ,mood and structure of all the thematic material in advance, and learn the music by heart at first play on the instrument second is intangible asset. Undoubted Incorporate analytical procedures into our practising from the start is
vital important. Just like pianist Graham Fitch says
“Aircraft have multiple back-up systems, which is what makes them so safe-when one system
fails, another kicks in. For us pianists muscular memory needs to be backed up by other forms of memory these are Aural and analytic, It is best If all these
forms of memory are built in to the initial learning process for ultimate security in performance, and not left until after the notes are learned by
drilling the fingers from the score forseveral weeks.”
Benefit of memoryMemory should be built in to the initial learning process for ultimate security on performance, reduced anxiety.performance by memorise means liberated from the notation, relying on your ear and your deeper level understanding music could ever happen from repeated reading. Memory can
*Enlarge your learning
*Improve your intelligent
*Liberated from notation
*Focus your concentration
*Reduce performance anxiety Improvisation
the bridge between emotion and music
