    Most teachers I have had always discouraged me from playing by ear. I started playing by ear when 3years old, and to this day struggle with sightreading, although with a great amount of practice I have mastered reading, because I wanted to play with other musicians. Nice to see a teacher who encourages this skill.

      The music teachers who have a bad playing by ear ability will be terrified of any student playing by ear.

    So many videos promise clarity, but deliver only flash. You wonder if there's any sincere desire to communicate. This is exactly what I needed, especially the accompaniment, which I expect will expedite fleshing out a lead sheet. I had a piano at home from age 10 to 14 - no lessons, only one beginner theory booklet and a fat song book - and picked out melodies. If I had a time machine I'd go back and show that girl how to harmonize those Beatles songs I was hearing on my little transistor radio. You are a gifted teacher of adults!

    Thank you for showing how to find the first note of the song to play a song on the key of your choice. This step is almost never explained in any of the videos on how to play songs by ear on piano. Thank you!
    I include this very first step in my 55 word poem on how I play songs on piano by ear - or rather, "by sight" by visually counting the number of note intervals below the melodic note to find the root note that more or less mirrors whatever melody I'm playing on my right hand:
    To play song by ear
    end song on note C
    to make learning easy
    by avoiding black keys.
    To add chords to song
    play root BELOW melody
    on each down beat
    at intervals -1, -5, or -3.
    Now play each chord
    by rolling ABOVE root
    the notes 5, 8, 10
    then add notes to suit.

      @@LeCheileMusic He has done a good job. Those Kawai pianos hold their tuning very well.
      I ran an electronic musical instrument service company for 35 years in South Africa, so did tunings of all kinds of products. If a single note or a few notes on a piano drifts I will be brave and pull it up, but more than that needs to be done by a master. Piano tuning is an art because each instrument is different.

    Hi when you find the chord music on internet and you see 4 or 5 chord the rule is the same ? Is the last chord showing is the key i'm in ?
