Preview lesson from Katie Thiroux’s Course

In this lesson, Katie Thiroux teaches a fail-safe method to really memorise a melody. This will work for any instrument and any style. It also doesn’t matter how complex the melody is, all you need is your instrument, 10 small items such as coins, and lots of patience!

We hope you enjoy the lesson. You can use the concept to learn any melody, but if you want to learn ‘Scrapple From the Apple’ you can download the lead sheet in bass clef for free here:
