Yes I think we should. It does not mean that we need to memorize the finger movements by rote with Hands to gether. This any way we will accomplish once the piece is played 10 or 100 times with a months duration. This is not totally dependable.

What is challenging here is, assume you learnt a piece by rote depending on the finger memory alone and did not practice for 4 days at a stretch, and start to play on 5th day - a small blackout can cause a confusion, placing a wrong finger on the key - now if you have to resume, have to restart from beginning to regain the flow.

We cannot completely bank on sight reading, because the skill varies and absolutely we cannot keep our eyes tied with the sheet music when we are facing the examiner.

As far as exam pieces are concerned we need to play so fast and accurately so that we will never be conscious of each and every bar, and consciously we do not take effort to recollect piece from sheet music. So there has to be some way, where in we should memorize the song in such way that , we can disassemble the parts whenever we needed. So I thought we could go through the following steps (parts), i believe that is fool proof:

1. Identify and start a piece

2. Get the music (solfeage or whatever is convenient for Right hand melody and chords). After playing twice or thrice recollect it from memory

2. Similarly do it for Left hand melody

3. Now finalize the finger numbers and keep repeating hands separate for each side until both hands become independently comfortable.

4. Start slowly, with the hands to gether, play with both hands and note some of the peculiar patterns - at times when same fingers coincide used as memory cues

5. If there is a row of keys to remember, you can use a simple notation that I follow :

For Ab Bb C Db use numbers like 0 0 1 0 where 0 denotes a black key and 1 denotes a white key.

Repeated follow of these steps will give lot of confidence and even if one hand fails the other will take over. Best of luck
