Memorização de repertório musical : estratégias de memorização à disposição do intérprete

Abstract

This research made a theoretical reference investigation presented as necessary to understand what memory is and the mechanisms involved in its development. The general objective of this work is to investigate strategies for musical repertoire memorization, and the specific objectives are to recognize what is meant by memory, how it works and to identify the main memory strategies of musical repertoire that can be recognized from the specific literature. This research is justified by answering personal questions to the practice of repertory memorization. In addition, it can serve as a theoretical set to help students and teachers during classes and in their daily study practices. The results of this research, in addition to understanding the memory mechanisms and the method of memorizing based on guides of execution proposed by Roger Caffin, also sharpened my interest to apply this knowledge in my personal musical practice. Music memorization strategies are very powerful and efficient tools for performances from memory to be safer and reach high levels of interpretation. KEYWORDS: memorization, strategies, performance, guides of execution, Roger Chaffin.
