Welcome To EasyMemoryTraining.com
My name is Matt Wadsworth and I’d like to welcome you to EasyMemoryTraining.com
I am an international musician, and the lute is my instrument. You can read more about my career here www.MatthewWadsworth.com.
So, I hear you ask yourself, what is a blind lutenist doing publishing a book on how to improve your memory?
I was fortunate enough to be introduced to the practicalities of memorization from my earliest years. When I began my education, there were no computers to use, I couldn’t write, and I hadn’t yet learned Braille.
I can recall very clearly sitting in the classroom and listening to the teacher read stories. After each story had finished, we were asked various questions about what had happened, what someone’s name was, where they went, what colour their clothes were, etc.
I learned music by ear from the age of six, and it wasn’t until I was eleven that I taught myself to read Braille music. However, even having the notation in Braille, I still had to memorize each piece in order to then be able to play it.
Many people have asked me how I approach the task of committing something to memory, and this has brought my concept of the whole process to a very conscious level.
I am absolutely convinced that most people have limitless abilities when it comes to using their brain, particularly their memory, yet we are not usually taught how to make the most of it.
I must stress that my book has nothing to do with memorising music. It is meant as a general guide, from which everyone can take what is relevant to them and benefit from the information.
Memory is a subject about which I am extremely passionate (as I am with many things in life) and it’s always a joy to be able to put ideas into peoples heads, and then watch as light bulbs begin to switch on: I like that!
More soon
