Migrating Book
By Philip Johnston

After a few days, put a chair next to you, and set up the music on the chair. You can still read it, but it is a bit more of a nuisance because you have to turn your head to see it.
Just because of this, you probably won't go to the hassle of reading the easy bits - you'll play them without looking... |

This is a simple and very effective tool for getting you to
memorise a piece, without you noticing that you are actually memorising
it.
The idea is that you are welcome to read the music as much as you like,
but you make the book gradually more inconvenient to read.
At first, it will be on the music stand in front of you. No problems
there. After a few days, put a chair next to you, and set up the music on
the chair. You can still read it, but it is a bit more of a nuisance
because you have to turn your head to see it. Just because of this, you
probably won't go to the hassle of reading the easy bits - you'll play
them without looking. (Sounds like memorising to me)
A few days later, lose the chair. Put the book on the floor next to
you. Now it is even harder to check the music, and you will want to do it
less frequently.
A couple of days later and the book is on the floor behind your. Then
it's over the other side of the room. You are still welcome to check as
often as you like. You just will try hard not to, because now it is well
out of your way
Two months after that, and the book is at the bottom of a pit in Upper
Somabugu, being guarded by hungry lions. Hopefully you have the whole
thing memorised by then...
