Music
This term can also refer to learning music by ear as opposed to musical notation interpretation. Many music teachers make a clear distinction between the two approaches. Specialised forms of rote learning have also been used in Vedic chanting to preserve the intonation and lexical accuracy of texts by oral tradition. The Suzuki method's underlying key is rote learning.
Rote learning music is also used in music where notation isn't sufficient to tell how it should be played (polymetric music, and others). Also this technique is commonly used in jazz, as a method of getting the musician to think about the piece played in another way.
