Repetition

I have discovered a very quick and efficient way for students to learn chunks of music. This could be either written music or scales/arpeggios. 

The method is to repeat a short musical phrase five times without making a mistake once. If you make a mistake, you have to start over. This creates competition with yourself and you will be amazed at how quickly you learn the music in question. 

Go ahead and try it for yourself, I can guarantee you will see results within a week.
