How to play piano by ear

In most cases, learn to play a piece of music in piano performed by called music sheets written material reading and play according to the notes and tempo indicated therein. Although it may work effectively for many students (and statistically do you), some people is difficult to play notes due to various reasons - inability to follow notation and play at the same time, too slow reading problems to interpret various symbols written at the same time, etc., even in years of training. Others are plain boring.

If you're one of those people, you can try to play the piano oído.Las advantages are obvious, need to fight decrypt not complicated combinations of note, have much freedom to interpret the way perceived (though it can be counterproductive to taking too far), and now you don't have to search for sheet music, song could learn virtually any song that listens, provided is skilled enough to perform it.

On the other hand, you have to understand the theory of music at a decent level, especially the relationship between notes and the ability to recall and play sounds using the piano - skills players who play with notes really does not need to have. Also, familiar with common chord patterns will be useful, because you will see many songs to share successions often identical and similar chord.

How to learn to play a song by ear is listening to him first, only to hear everything.Then I leave play again to try to get the key in which it carries out - very important. According to music, play the basic chords triads, I believe that I have low until they seem "aligned" with the original song ear and their notes. I get started with the first chords of two or three?.If the result you get no sound strange song and overloaded add more notes to the rope, it sounds more saturated and similar to the original - in other words, harmonize the melody.

For example, minor seventh chords (Bm7, F # m7, Gm7,...) are widely used in the Queen Bohemian Rhapsody and suspended chords (Dsus, Esus,...) are very common in Maroon 5 won't Go Home Without You.I continue with this procedure until the end of the song. as a final step, add the lead part listening everything again and organize it in a way that play me all layers allows.

Most want to its composition it sounds closer to the original, have more work pieces more small. you may find you listening 7 times to a 3-second transition or a solo "Guitar shredding" to understand what had pasado.Con time, will be able to play increasingly larger pieces of melody and then the sense of musical ear will be more accurate and refined.

Experienced players who play by ear sometimes can play a piece of music all on the ground, just by using its memory - and when others hear him, seems the thing closest to the magic!
