Learn to Play Piano by Ear
Is everything you have learned as far as playing piano been correct? Think about the following information, and compare it to what you have learned is the latest as far as playing a piano.
Consider this...
Would you like to play the piano without the fuss of dragging your music sheets?
Or make music with just humming along with the tune?
Have you for years longed to play, except your eyesight is poor and makes it difficult?
Haven't you learned that if you can hum a certain tune, that you can learn to play it?
Quite a few musicians that are professionals, didn't use instructors or any manuals to begin their careers. They learned by listening to a tone and then playing to the specific beat that the music had. No notes on a paper, or teachers helping.
1 - Get your things together. The main thing you have to have is a piano of maybe you have a keyboard. (We will be using the piano for our info though.) You need to have at least 3 fingers that you can use on your hands. Have time to do the necessary practice. Be sure the piano has been tuned recently.
2. Remember that the piano is an instrument that is comprised of 88 keys. Along these are 12 straight notes. The first white key is the A - note, next white note is B, C, D, E, F, G.
Following the last G white note it starts over with the A note and continues to repeat. The whole sequence is actually repeated a total o 7 times. The same follows with the black notes that are the sharps and flat notes.
3 - The note C can also be called the Home Key. To locate this C note, look for the white note that is just to the left of the 2 black keys. I you still are baffled look at your piano. You will see that in the middle is a C note. Now you know where the C chord is located.
If your playing piano facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important playing piano information slip by you.
The thumb of your right hand will serve as number 1 because it is put at the C straddled in the middle. From there, count all keys going to the right. Include the black keys.
When you have counted till 5, that would serve as the 2nd note in C chord. Place your middle finger there. From counting to number 5, count till 8, that will be your final note. Put your pinkie on it.
Now hit these keys together and an impressive sound is accomplished.
4 - Get real familiar with using the sequence mentioned above... 1, then 5, and 8 in counting. This goes for starting with any of the notes, just remember to count, includes the sharps and flats.
These types of chords are your basis for playing. You can also select a sharp to start you chord on. Then you are playing a sharp type chord.
5 - You will understand what close listening and counting will do for your playing through enough practice.
As an example, when the number 5 in the chord goes down by 1 key then you are on number 4 key. This makes the major chord turn into a minor chord.
In the event that you are playing the C chord, you just have to slide your finger just one key over to the left to make a C minor chord.
The benefits of good listening you will start knowing different tones. You will also be capable of hearing variations in a tune. This is true as long as you hearing is good enough.
Some advice:
Don't just stay in the piano's middle section. Travel around to other areas of the piano though for more unique sound.
Learn to use more that more than just one maybe two fingers. With enough practice, you can learn to play with all your fingers on your right and left hands.
Practice enough.
