I just play all I can remember when I don't have my music. You just have to play it a lot until you can remember it...

This is the way I used to teach it.
-Break down the piece into phrases. -Play one phrase looking, then try to play it without looking. Keep trying until you get it (or you get pretty close) -Once you get that, add on another phrase the same way.
Also, is the piece a familiar one? See if you can find it on the internet, and listen to it while following your music.

It's really repetitive, so once you get the first phrase or two you'll be fine 3nodding

I agree with Melchiresa.
As for me, when I memorize music, I don't actually MEMORIZE the MUSIC. After you play it over and over again so many times, you'd be surprised at how well your fingers can do it with out looking at any notes. 3nodding

I agree.
It always helped me to be able to sing the song (without looking at music) first. Then I'd always know what notes I should be playing. And then, getting the right fingering came from playing it multiple times.
