 Memorizing
Tunes

(20
Ways
to
Learn
the
Repertoire)





1. Repeatedly
listen
to
several
recordings
of
the
tune.

2. Learn
to
sing
the
melody,
with
text
if
a
songbook
standard.

3. Play
the
melody
at
least
10
times
in
a
row
perfectly
with
a
metronome
on
2
and
4.

4. Obtain
2‐3
lead
sheets
of
the
tune
or
transcribe
several
versions
of
the
head.

Compare
the

sources
and
decide
upon
what
will
be
memorized.

5. Analyze
the
tune:

a. Form
(AABA,
blues,
etc.)

b. Chord
changes
(commonalities
to
other
tunes,
cycles,
ii
V
I,
etc.)

c. Key
areas
(tonal
centers)

d. Melodic
content
(how
and/or
why
does
the
melody
fit)

6. Play,
memorize,
the
chord
changes
on
the
piano.

7. Play
(on
the
piano)
and
sing
the
tune
(with
text).

8. Practice
Techniques
#1:
Work
over
each
chord
individually,
without
a
recorded

accompaniment,
using
scale
and
chord
patterns
over
the
full
range
of
your
instrument.

Use

patterns
such
as
those
found
in
Jerry
Coker’s
“Patterns
for
Jazz.”

9. Practice
Technique
#5:

a. Chord
Tones

b. Arpeggios

c. Scales

d. Guide
Tones

e. Patterns

f. Scale
Shifting

10. Transcription
1:
Lift
patterns
from
a
solo
from
a
recording
of
the
tune.

11. Transcription
2:
Lift
and
memorize
a
complete
solo
from
a
recording
of
the
tune.

12. Improv
Composition:
Write
a
solo
to
the
tune
in
the
style
of
an
improvisation
(slow
motion

improvisation).

13. Play
the
head
and
solo
in
time
with
a
metronome
set
on
2
and
4,
without
a
rhythm
track.

14. Play‐a‐long
(Aebersold):
Practice
with
recorded
accompaniments.

It
is
also
valuable
to
listen

to
the
changes
without
playing.

15. Learn
the
tune
in
at
least
3
keys,
preferably
in
all
12
keys.

16. Relate
new
tunes
to
old
tunes
and
use
a
fill‐in‐the‐blank
method.

When
you
recognize
what

you
already
know
about
a
tune,
there
is
less
new
material
to
grasp.

17. Review
the
tune
weekly
for
6
months
then
periodically
thereafter.

18. Learn
a
new
tune
each
week,
every
other
week,
or
monthly
depending
on
your
schedule
and

desire
to
learn
jazz.

“Repetition
is
the
mother
of
memory.”

(David
Baker)

 What
is
a
“Standard”?





A
standard
is
that
which
is
common
to
the
general
populace
of
the
art.

A
standard
is
a

composition
that
one
is
expected
to
know.



Another
question
is,
“How
does
one
determine
standards
amidst
thousands
of
choices”?

Tunes

will
vary
from
region
to
region.

In
a
survey

Six
hundred
and
eleven
different
tunes
were
submitted.

Of
these
263
are
unduplicated;
meaning,

the
contributor
included
a
composition
that
is
used
in
their
area
but,
since
it
is
not
on
anybody

else’s
list,
it
may
be
considered
regional.

Another
87
tunes
only
have
one
duplication.




Concurrence
exists
for
many
tunes.

These
might
be
considered
most
significant.

Learning
should

progress
sequentially
according
to
difficulty.

It
should
be
noted
that
virtually
every
contributor

emphasizes
the
profound
significance
of
studying
the
blues
and
music
based
on
I
Got
Rhythm

chord
changes.



Two
lists
follow.

The
first
list
ranks
submissions
recommended
by
at
least
ten
contributors.

The

second
list
includes
those
included
on
at
least
five.

Numbers
to
the
left
indicate
how
many

contributor’s
lists
contained
the
reference.

Keep
in
mind
that
no
list
can
be
taken
as
conclusive.

Contributors
to
the
above
lists
were
asked
to

submit
what
came
to
mind
at
the
moment.

Some
included
lists
that
they
created
for
their
teaching

curriculum
others
only
what
they
played
regularly.

Too
many
variables
exist
to
be
definitive.



Another
angle
is
that
of
compositions
most
recorded.

A
list

Here's
That
Rainy
Day

One
might
ask,
“Why
does
it
matter”?

Four
points
can
be
considered:

1. A
standard
repertoire
represents
music
that
generations
of
performers
have
either
deemed

of
high
quality
or
enjoy
playing.

2. Standards
can
help
ones
learning
of
the
art
form.

They
are
especially
significant
for
young

musicians
to
use
as
a
foundation.

From
here
they
can
grow
in
any
of
several
directions.


Standards
are
a
great
teacher.


3. They
constitute
a
body
of
knowledge
that
is
transferable
from
one
location
to
another,
thus

allowing
musicians
from
various
locals
to
perform
with
each
other.

4. In
today’s
environment,
tradition
has
established
expectations.

Jazz
musicians
without
a

fundamental
internalization
of
at
least
a
certain
number
of
standards
will
find
themselves

unable
to
participate
in
many
settings.



Some
have
asked,
“Will
emphasizing
such
lists
not
cause
the
jazz
art
to
stagnate”?

Consider
this:

1. If
only
a
limited
number
of
standards
were
propagated,
yes;
but
there
are
so
many.


Considering
regional
favorites,
the
learning
of
standards
is
not
so
stagnant.

Six
hundred

and
eleven
are
on
only
forty
contributor’s
lists.

2. Amidst
the
learning
of
standards,
jazz
musicians
are
constantly
writing
their
own
tunes.


The
composer/performer
a
la
Bach,
Mozart,
Haydn,
Beethoven,
Liszt,
et
al
is
alive
and
well

in
jazz.

3. Various
regions
have
their
own
distinct
“standard”
repertoire
(along
with
one
that
is
more

universal),
which
is
important
for
such
a
creative
art
to
thrive.

4. What
is
considered
a
standard
changes
over
time.

There
are
compositions
common
in
the

1920’s
or
30’s
that
are
virtually
never
played
today.

Some
of
the
tunes
expected
of
every

true
jazz
musician
in
the
40’s,
50’s,
and
60’s
have
fallen
into
disfavor
while
others
have

risen
to
commonality.

More
will
become
popular
while
others
fade
as
the
years
progress.




Bottom
line:
one
should
note
what
is
called
at
various
gigs,
jam
sessions,
what
is
played
at
local

clubs,
in
the
area
universities,
by
members
of
regional
jazz
societies,
etc.

Learn
the
repertoire
of

your
residence.
