ho to remember songs on piano better?
okay so i play piano and i know only a handful of songs, which are mostly Beatles songs, but for some reason i have trouble memorizing any song thats not a Beatles song.. for example i learned a song by Offenbach and played the song probably 50 times in a matter of no more than 3 days and still ound up forgetting the song completely after going only a little while without playing it, i do have a nasty habit of learning both hand parts simultaneously rather than separately and im suspecting thats probably why, but i learned the beatles songs the same way and i can go without playing a piano for a year and still kno how to play the Beatles songs , so any tips on how to keep songs in your memory better?
i also have another nasty habit of trying to learn a large portion of the song at once.

Yes, learning the hands separately might help, unless there's hand-crossing.
I would say to break the song in little chunks, but make sure the chunks make musical sense, and not to break off a chunk before a phrase ends. Record yourself as you practice each chunk. Once you get a decent recording of each chunk, put it all together into a music file or recording the entire thing in one sitting. Then put it on your mp3 player or phone and listen to it over and over for 2-3 days, and try to only listen to that to find two things: flaws in your technique, and how the phrases fit together. Then let it sit for a day and then play it again. This method works very well for me.
