Re: [Evolution of Popular Music] Studying Songs
I had to do with for my pop music class I did last year. I have a pretty good memory so it wasn't a problem for me. What I did do, though, was I would only listen to the first five seconds or so of each song. Since I knew that the professor would be starting each clip at the beginning, I realy only need to know the opening notes, not the whole song.
This will only really work if you know that your teacher will be starting each song from the beginning. Other than that, only way to memorize that I can think of is to listen over and over again. Though I do find, if there are lyrics involved, that reading or writing down the lyrics as you listen helps you commit it to memory faster.
