Why people can easily memorize Lyrics and hard to memorize lessons at school

I love music too..Well, it runs in our family actually.My daughter has a great voice and i am very proud of her.We had discuss this thought before.It seems that if we like the song we keep singing or listening to it until we got it memorized.But its lazy sometimes to memorize poems because we are not fun of it.

Yeh its easy to memorize the lyrics of the song and hard to learn and memorize the lesson and paragraph of books, it due to your interest in music and you are heartly very motivated to learn that song and also due to rythme of the song you can easliy memorize it however in the school you urge that to learn it and there is no rythme in that and also you are not motivate for it ....

I have to say that the beat could be a factor. Usually, the very reason why we get to memorize a song is because of the number repetitions you could hear the music. Unlike when we study, we just sort of scan or repeat the lines but our senses are thinking other stuff.

it is because our mind focuses on something interesting.

I think lyric made our mind travel and at the same time fantasize according to the lyric. It will make the person feel the emotion toward it and tend to focus more on that. Since lesson seem so static and math doesn't makes our minds wander we always loose focus easier cause no emotion are involved, only logic.

a song is not just playing instruments,.. its the emotion of the song writer, a best compose from a musician, a message,,... so it ought to stay in our mind because we love it... in the same way, if a teacher teaches a subject with the passion for it,, i'm sure that you wont neglect any word from that teacher,, because i have a teacher who have inspired me by his passion for his subject,.. and that subject is Audio production, which is all about music and the property of sound...lol

our mind tend to focus on the things that are of our interest and gives a electrical impulses to the brain memory to record fast the things that pertains to your interest, unlike the things that you dont like your mind is somewhat loosing the focus that interrupt the process of recording in memory section of the brain...there is a study in child psychology that nursery kids expose to repetitious nursery rhymes, which kids loves, makes the kids to have a more keen memory than the kids who were not expose to this kind of music...therefore making the conclusion that when mind was focus and is driven right to the things you want,the stimulation process will commence and it will make you to learn things easily and retain it in your memory very fast...

I can explain why you easily memorize the lyrics of the song and hard to memorize the lesson of a song. Every person has it's own motivation. Our motivation is the one who help us to learn easily. Because you are interested in music and you are motivated to learn that song, you can easily memorize the lyrics because of the urge that push you to learn it. However in school, that's why it's hard for you to memorize your lesson because you're not motivated. Sometimes, it's really hard because all of us went to school in order for us to graduate even though we don't like school but we have to. That's why in school, the teacher are taught to motivate the student and how to motivate the students and it's always at the beginning of the lesson. happy mylotting!
