New to the site, new at school A simple question: for the song studies, when taking the test, are we supposed to memorize the song/study, or we are allowed to look at the note sheet? I am getting close to taking my LOA 1, and I want to do it proper. 

Thanks a lot

Know the song

David will be assessing you on what he hears based on your grasp of the lesson. To play the song well I find that having memorised it gives the best results and most fun. But for the test rely on both.
