Your link offers this example of why believing in "Learning Styles" might be harmful > These include a ‘pigeonholing’ of learners according to invalid criteria, for example a ‘visual learner’ may be dissuaded from pursuing subjects which do not appear to match their diagnosed Learning Style (e.g., learning music), I struggle with learning music off by heart. The suggestion that has helped me most was to learn the score by visualising the appearance of the notes on the stave. I've taken the usual approach: break it down into small pieces (that is learn a bar at a time), practice by writing out notes from memory onto music manuscript paper and checking, spaced repetition. Learning music off by heart is still terribly hard. Even when I can picture the appearance of the score in my head, I start of only able to play from that score at under quarter speed and without rhythm. Building up speed by repeatedly playing from my visual mental image takes a huge number of repetitions. The two concepts of "Learning Style" in play here strike me as very different. One is strategic "Oh, you are a visual learner, best give up playing the piano, because that is so auditory.". The other is tactical "Oh, you are a visual learner, here is the appropriate technique for learning to play music from memory."
