I asked my teacher how I can memorize every scale degrees and inversions of chords and he told me that I should not just sit down and memorize the mone by one becasuse I'll forget them easily. instead he recommends me to be familiar with the "Rooms" of the key and be "friends" with chords and notes like the super tonic or the leading tone. He told me that I have to be curious about a piece that whenever I hear something interesting I have to try and just know what the notes mean and how they work.

thats how he mastered all keys and he did it in 4 years. Now he can play like any chords and any inversions. He could improvise a chord progression and change keys.

have any of you used this method before? if so I'd like to have some tips because I'm certainly not good enough
