That Crumpled Paper Was Due Last Week - Reading Together - Strategies for Quizzes, Tests, Projects, and Finals

The section I thought the most useful from this chapter was the one on flashcards. I like the idea of using flashcards to help students memorize longer music pieces. You could have them make a photocopy of their music and cut apart sections that are 2 or 3 measures long and glue them to flashcards. And then play one notecard at a time. Or follow the steps below.

"I am not suggesting that students substitute rote memory for actual learning, but I am saying that flash cards are one of the many tricks to help improve material mastery. In my office, I often show students my simple trick for learning a stack of flash cards quickly, accurately, and relatively painlessly: 1. Learn five flash cards. Take a few minutes to really learn them. 2. Then add five more, and review all ten. 3. After all ten are reviewed, add five more, and review all fifteen."
