Ear Training - Develop Your Musical Ear on the Piano

via Skillshare

Overview

Have you ever wondered how some people can listen to a song just once, and then just sit down at the piano and play it? 

- This is because they have a well developed musical ear, and can hear the notes played and figure them out on piano. 

This course will help you to develop you’re musical ear, taking you from the earliest stages of piano note recognition to being able to figure out basic piano chords without the use of any aids other than your own listening ability. These skills when developed properly, will open up a whole new world for you in the realm of music. You’ll no longer be restricted to the notes on a page, or have to search the internet for the chords to a song. 

You may also find that having a highly trained ear will help you in other scenario’s whether its playing piano with a band, improvising on the piano, music listening exams, writing songs or even recording in a studio. For example, let’s just say that you are trying to write a song, and have a melody in your head, you need to be able to play that on the piano, or figure out the chord that will accompany it. This course will take you down the right path.

So if you want to learn how to play the piano by ear, take this step-by-step course and have fun developing this essential skill.

I think this is a course that anyone wanting to learn to play music can enjoy, so hopefully i'll see you on the inside.
