I am wondering about the best way to learn a piece of music. Should you learn to play from the sheet music or should you memorize the piece and play it without music while you are learning it?
I saw a youtube video which said to learn a phrase at at time memorizing the right hand then the left hand then practicing hands together. I assume memorizing means looking at your hands and not at the music.
On an different web site I read that you should learn to play looking at the music. I think the idea is that you benefit from learning to read music better.
I have been playing from the music and it seems like it is taking me a long time to learn pieces so I tried looking at my hands and it seems like I am learning faster that way.
Looking at my hands there is a lot less multi-tasking with my brain (converting what I see on the sheet music to movements in my hands which causes me a lot of mental fatigue) so I am able to practice longer and learn a piece faster looking at my hands. It's more fun, less work, so I spend more time practicing.
I am wondering if there is a consensus on how to learn a piece of music?
Is there a recommended web site that has advice on the subject?
Thanks in advance.

Sometimes, memorizing the piece and looking at my hands helps me learn faster, especially with more complex sections. But I’ve also found that playing from sheet music improves my sight-reading skills over time, even if it feels slower at first.
One thing that helped me a lot was a site called *****. They have some great advice on practicing and different techniques to try.
