Hi,

Be glad you have to follow the music. I play a phrase of a song a few times and remember it. Then I play the next phrase and remember it. However, the bad news is that because I remember the phrases, I don't look at the music. Never fails, half way through the song, I forget which phrase comes next. When I look up at the music, I don't have a clue where I am at. Then, because I memorize this way, I have to start all over from the beginning in order to even play it again. Not a good thing! My piano teacher threatens to put a cardboard collar around my neck that sticks out about 10 inches so I can't watch the keys! Says it will keep my mind on the music! LOL
