[QUOTE="skeller047, post: 628193, member: 9069"] I think reading from the sheet is a fine way to learn a tune. But abandon the paper as soon as possible. One sure fire way to make sure you know a tune well is to make a playlist on your favorite streaming service (I use Apple Music, bit you can do this in Spotify or Amazon too). Add several different versions of the tune by various artists, including singers and instrumentalists. Then play along with the playlist. You will presented with different keys, different tempos, different styles and different arrangements. A week of going through this list every day and you will know the tune. For example my playlist for Just One of Those Things includes versions by Frank Sinatra, Ella, Lee Morgan, Harry Connick Jr., Sarah and Louis Armstrong. 3 different keys and lots of tempo variation.
