Mental File Folder System Applied to Learning Music Lyrics : 

Mental File Folder System Applied to Learning Music Lyrics Applying this memory technique to learning the words to Speed Your Journey ( Va Pensiero by Verdi) with Tim Borchers

Start with your feet!: 

Start with your feet!

A more dignified start - Credits: 

A more dignified start - Credits I learned this technique from a Freedom Personal Development* Seminar in 2008. Memorizing lists has never been easier Memorizing a speech – easy! Memorizing a song - delightful *www.deliverfreedom.com

Using Mental Files : 

Using Mental Files There are an infinite number of personal file folders and folder systems One of the most useful systems is placing the files where you wont lose them – and where you will always have them with you – On your own body! So you do in fact … start with your feet!

Mental File Locations : 

Mental File Locations Feet Knees Thighs Buttocks Lungs/Chest Shoulders Collar bones Face Top of the Head Ceiling (ok not a body part)

But first…: 

But first… What do we put in the mental file locations IMAGES, ACTIVE – ANIMATED, FUNNY, GOOFY, CRAZY, REAL, SURREAL, “SOUNDS LIKE” Words for Things are the easiest I have mental images for – after all they are concrete Ideas, concepts, emotions, abstract things are much more difficult

“Mountain,” “Valley”: 

“Mountain,” “Valley” Easy, right? Now try “ homeland ” – abstract – what can stand for homeland?

Harder still…: 

Harder still… Thoughts Longings Fair Wretched Remembrance Joy Woe Silent Affliction Shed Repentance Inspire Courage Endure Last

Let’s try this thing: 

Let’s try this thing Speed your journey my thoughts and my longings Thoughts Longings CALL IT SILLY BUT… Reminds me of Longstockings ASK FIRST – do I need to start the first line on my file system? Say you are memorizing Psalm 23 “The Lord is my Shepherd…” DO I NEED MY FEET FOR THAT??!! (NO!)

Now the feet: 

Now the feet Speed your journey to mountain and valley Left Right

Knees: 

Knees Where the sweet scented air breathes a fragrance Left – I’m WEARING CANDY necklace holding SCENT dispenser Right - LONG homes O’er the homes that we knew long ago

Thighs: 

Thighs To the waters of Jordan bear greeting Left- TWO waters Right – Bear Greeting

Buttocks: 

Buttocks To the downfallen temples of Zion

Chest: 

Chest Oh my country, so fair and so wretched O shape of the hand going to chest in pledge

Shoulders: 

Shoulders O remembrance of Joy and of Woe O BRAIN, SANTA, “WHOA!”

Collar Bone: 

Collar Bone Golden harps of the Prophets, Oh tell me, Why so silent ye hang from the willow?

Face – CLOCK Face: 

Face – CLOCK Face Once again sing the songs of the homeland

Face – CLOCK Face: 

Face – CLOCK Face Sing again of the days that are past

Face – CLOCK Face: 

Face – CLOCK Face We have drunk from the cup of affliction

Face – CLOCK Face: 

Face – CLOCK Face And have shed bitter tears of repentance.

Head: 

Head O inspire us, Jehovah, with courage

Ceiling: 

Ceiling So that we may endure to the last. [sorry on narration I say “to the end.” Ha!]
