Chords Are Key for Piano by Ear

People are absolutely astounded at the musicians they know who can play piano totally “by ear”, in other words, they don’t need to refer to anything written down. It seems like they can simply sit down and play anything by magic. It’s not magic. If you can hear and remember music and you know just a little bit about how music is put together you can learn to do this too and we can teach it to you in this one session. We can also teach you how to transpose music and even how to get music off of recordings. Prior experience with chords is recommended. .

Topics include:

• How to find the starting note
• How to determine when chords change
• How to predict the chord progression
• How the melody helps you find the correct chords
• How to learn songs from recordings
• How to transpose
• How to use the Circle of Fifths
• How to recognize the most common chord patterns
