Hello Apprentice!

I think your friend may be exaggerating a little. But it is true, that (1) the more pieces you learn, the easier it gets to 'take in' new ones. You begin to see a piece of music in broader terms, as in sections. When you realize that often, for example, a composer will repeat measures 1 through 4, in measures 5 through 8, perhaps with some variations. When you are beginning, you often are struggling going from note to note, and I guarantee you that you can *not* memorize any significant piece of music that way!
(2) This came up in a separate post also, but it is important to learn pieces by heart, but also by reading. You want to be able to read quicker so you can learn them quicker!
Mike
