In today’s world of over-stimulation and music saturation, we need to activate our long-term memory
The music ecosystem is more saturated than ever. With music streaming sites like Spotify, Apple, Tidal, and Amazon Music hitting us with 100,000 new songs daily, it’s impossible to keep up with the noise. Thanks to music publications and writers like us, people can synthesize through all the latest hit playlists on their social media feeds and music streaming platforms. One of the goals of music writers is to help listeners make sense of the music they’re listening to and to put music in their proper context.
With all this music around us, it’s hard to concentrate on any song or artist for a long time. One of my pet peeves is hearing a song or artist I like and then forgetting the name of both a week or so later. I’m assuming you have been in the same position, too.
The song’s name is on the tip of your tongue, right?
You could hear some of the melodies, but the lyrics escape you…
If this happens to you, I have a solution that will work. In this article, I will outline a strategy I call the Music Memory Maker, or MMM for short. Through MMM, you can better your chances of memorizing the music and artists you heard on the radio or at the store. These strategies work because they don’t just reuse your hearing senses, but they tap into your sight as well. It’s a strategy that requires you to work, so be prepared to make several contacts with songs and artists and activate your memory. Through the contact points below and repetition, you will have a clear-cut strategy to combat music memory loss. MMM will help the music and artist you find stick in your mind for a long time.
For each contact point, I will describe the following
- How to accomplish this step
- How it will specifically help your memory
- A personal example
How To Accomplish This Step: I know this sounds too obvious to be a step, but with the strong push…
