As a beginner, I tend to work my way through the entire thing (I'm not very good at sight-reading, so my goal is to memorize it as quickly as possible). Then I just practice the entire piece a lot to try to get it down.Does anyone take a part of the piece and master it first before moving to the next part? How do you attack the parts you're having trouble with, do you just keep redoing them over and over again or just get better at them as you get better at the piece as a whole (I tend to do the latter)??Curious to see how accomplished pianists tackle this.Best to all.CLIPA

I have problems memorizing my pieces all the time. Sight reading goes easily for me but it takes forever to remember the piece. I've been experimenting with ways of learning stuff but none of it seems to work
