Words make you think. Music makes you feel. A song makes you feel a thought.

E.Y. Harburg
About This Quote

This is something I have said many times before. The reason it’s so hard to learn how to memorize things is because we tend to think in words. We think in language and that’s why when we try to learn something. We often end up with a lot of memorization exercises that are nothing more than word games that don’t do anything to help us learn the material better. But by using music, these words will become pictures in your mind, pictures that you can remember.
