Hi Noa
It’s been a while since I last wrote about my problem with nerves and focusing. I’m pleased to say this has improved, although I still have to continually work on it.
My problem now is that my cognitive memory is not as good as it used to be. I have an exam soon and whereas I used to be fine with remembering 4 bars of music (played twice) in the aural test and singing, or clapping the rhythm back, I can now only remember the first 2 bars. It sounds simple to say only 4 bars of music, but I am now finding this difficult. I don’t mind the singing as I sing with a Choral Society. The strange thing is that I don’t have a problem in memorising music if I learn a piece. Is there a way of improving my aural function, as above, please? Your advice would be appreciated. Thanks.
