How to memorize chord progressions

When you’re doing a solo acoustic performance or playing with a band, keeping your eyes glued to the sheet music doesn’t look very cool.
That’s when memorizing chord progressions becomes essential.
This might be a bit advanced, but the trick to memorizing progressions is to learn the chords as scale degrees (numbers).
Once you can do that, you can play in any key by mapping the degrees you’ve memorized onto that key.
It’s also said that, beyond the scale degrees, it’s best to remember any additional information like quick notes in your mental memo.
How to transcribe music by ear

When you play in a band or do solo performances on keyboard, ear training and transcribing are unavoidable.
This video introduces an easy method for transcribing by ear.
First, find out the key of the song and start by picking out the melody and the bass notes.
Once you have those, move on to figuring out the chords.
It’s easier to begin by looking for the diatonic chords.
By proceeding step by step like this, the process becomes simpler.
Also, as you transcribe more songs, you’ll get faster, so don’t give up and keep at it!

As finger-crossing practice, we’ll work on “Für Elise” as the assigned piece.
Since you’ll use only three fingers of the right hand, you can master it quickly.
Even with just three fingers, there are various patterns, so it’s very informative.

This applies to both keyboards and pianos: by understanding how to use your muscles, you can learn ways to play without getting tired and to play better.
It’s important to avoid using excessive force, and by mastering relaxation, you can perform more smoothly.
