Hi,

I am quite frustrated by the difficulties in learning by memory my clarinet
music. It is very easy for me to learn by heart my piano music, I do not
even need to try, if I study a piece for some time than I suddenly *know
it*. But with the clarinet this does not happen.

I believe that the differences are in the fact that in the piano playing I
can use my viusal memory and I find it much easier to identify clusters
(chords, patterns..) even in the melody.

Do you have any suggestion how to *intelligently* develop my memory in my
clarinet playing?
