The way my brain works always amazed me. By getting older it becomes more and more selective to information. It's getting very hard to learn. By learning I suppose not only remembering the information, but also processing and applying it afterwards. What I mean is, that even if I remember information, it is very hard for me to use it in my thinking. I can only write it down, so my brain is very much like a storage, when I learn.

For example, if I need to learn a song, I can memorize text, melody and guitar chords very easy, later I can write down these chords, text and melody, but it takes very much time for me to actually learn to sing it fluently. I always need to practice a lot. And I can't say, I am a dummy in a music. I started to attend music school since the age of five, and I am always together with the music ever since. When I learn a song or piece, people like it.

Anyway, these many years of musical experience play no role in gathering new information - new songs, melodies. However melody is a very easy thing to remember - probably because there's no need to think about it - melody is just what it is. Everything else however require a lot of consideration in order to be used in practice later.

And one more note on my ability to memorize information without making asociations with something else in my brain - it's very useful at school. Teacher asks a question, my brain uses keywords of a question and finds appropriate material for an answer by matching keywords. Maybe schooltype way of thinking made my mind such a mess. That makes quite a problem in the end. It is as hard to forget this useless bunch of information, as to learn something new. I think this is what people call - to grow up.
