How to memorize a song ...FAST!
- Write out the lyrics while listening to the song without looking at the words.
- Trust yourself and sing it once without looking at the lyrics (turn the sheet over)
- Allow yourself to make some mistakes.
- When you are done singing it once, pick up the lyrics and look for the spots where you forgot the words.
- Sing it again without looking at the lyrics (turn the sheet over)
- Repeat this process until all the words are memorized
You will be surprised how fast the lyrics and the rhythm sink in!
Now find a karaoke track or pick up your favourite instrument and sing along
