How To Play Piano by Ear

Learn one of music’s deepest mysteries: how to play songs without relying on music. This practical presentation of music theory includes predicting chord progressions, learning from recordings, and transposing—all explained in everyday language. This is an ideal follow-up to the “Instant Piano” class and is open to anyone who has a basic understanding of chords on any instrument. Expand your musical horizons, and free yourself from sheet-music dependence. Be the life of the party! Prior experience with chords recommended.

Fee includes the online book, online follow-up lessons, a recording of the class, and an optional monthly question-and-answer session. Class is held online using Zoom. A few days before class, you will receive an email with the video conference link.
