How does muscle memory work?

427 views

I play piano and mostly play through muscle memory. I can play through songs easily if I don’t think about it, but if I try to remember what to play next I completely forget everything.

How does that work?

You do an activity and the specific sequence of neurons activated to perform that activity form a stronger connection, the more you do the technique the stronger it gets. It’s like you’re engraving a groove deeper and smoother in your brain the more you do it, so the next time your brain activates the neurons for “walking” the motion flows super easily.
