music help: What is the best way to learn a peice of music? - Help.com

Here’s what I think:
First of all you need to listen to it. Listen very much and very hard. Anything you can sing, you can later play, with just a little practice. So, my advice is: don’t spend too much time trying to play it, focus on remembering the melody and singing it, too. Eventually, the finger’s will follow.
Hope this helps…

Go sit outside and listen to it, dream, loose yourself into what it makes you feel or see or remember… i think the best way to play it is to feel like you’re watching a movie and giving it the speed you wish… listen to the melody

lukin has given you some great advice, but may I also reccomend breaking it up into parts. This is how I learn new pieces of music. Take the first, say, 6 bars and call that part one. Then play those six bars over and over again until you know it well. Then move onto the next 6 bars and make that part 2. This usually helps me as it makes the piece a lot less overwhelming and I find it is easier to remember things in small parts. Best of luck!

The way to learn anything is to want to learn it, go at it, get it wrong, realize what you got wrong, get it wrong again, internalize it, make it your own.

well stop when you get to a bit you cant play.
then you figure out what you are doing wrong
keep playing that bit

-then-

a) until you get it right

-or-

b) do a technique - e.g. if it is say semiquavers that you’re mucking up the rhythm (not doing straight semis) and confusing your figures, then do dotted semiquaver demisemiquaver etc.

“Learn, amazing, Sax”

Haha

Well, I know that I can have a problem learning music sometimes. If maybe you can get someone to play it for you, like your music teacher, so you know how it goes and keep the sound in your mind. Then try playing it with them so its kind of like reassurance for you.

If you are trying to memorize (I have to for Marching Band) maybe try and memorize one line at a time. Get it down the move onto the next, contining to play the lines preceeding

Good Luck!

Very good advice from everybody you should follow! Mine is practise, practise, practise! Practise makes perfect!

Practise your practicing also

listen to the piece of music on a recording, correctly played. Then, kind of get the tempo and rythm down. Ask the other sax player to maybe help you out, or get another kind of tutoring through someone else that is influential through the saxophone. Good luck and the best to you! I know how it is, I use to play the clarinet..

Practice.

Use a metronome and play it slowly so you get the technical aspect of the piece under control.

wat instriment are you playing?

hmm well that i can not help you with. but you should get some one who is in you class which is effcient to get you to learn it. or the only thing i have in mind is practice makes perfect. not much of an advice
