Rhythms and rhymes are great memory aids. And when we love a song, we tend to repeat it over and over again. Singing or playing something can even activate “muscle memory”， and there are many cases of people with severe memory loss still being able to perform music they learned decades ago. So the next time you hear a familiar song, put it to good use to explore and exercise your memory.Think about the places and people it reminds you of and the emotions it brings. __4__ Remember a particular time in your life, think about the music you listened to then and let it take you back, following the connections as you piece together the past. You can also use music when you're learning. __5__ If you're dealing with several topics, play different styles of music while learning different things. Experiment to see what works for you. Songs can have a powerful impact on memory, and that should be music to everyone's ears! A. There are two very good reasons for that. B. The following practical suggestions are just for you. C.
