differences.

Generally I would probably try and pay attention to the specific 
sections of the music where those small changes occur, and 
literally remember them when you are not playing flute.  If you 
can write the melody down or sing it then you will probably be 
able to play it.  You can also try and understand what those 
changes that you are talking about actually are.  Is there some 
kind of structure? Some kind of pattern?
Those things always help.
Best,

 Hi fellow musicians! I am a  blind flutist and although it might 
not be relevant for this discussion, I do not have perfect pitch.

  I learn all my music by ear.  For me, this means there are some 
pieces that are much easier to learn than others.  I recently 
learned the third movement of the concerto which didn’t take me 
very long to memorize it.  Although the piece was technically 
challenging, it had a beautiful singing melody throughout the 
entire piece even during some of the more difficult parts.  I am 
preparing for a flute competition and one of the required pieces 
is Ching a ring cha by Aaron Copeland.  The piece is pretty easy 
to play it as long as I’m playing it with recording my flute 
teacher made.  Once I stop doing that I am lost because there is 
a melody throughout the piece but little tiny differences each 
time you play it.  Does anyone have any tips on how to 
successfully and quickly memorize a piece like this? Thanks for 
any help!
