Man, I spent 6 years in music school and no one ever explained to me how to play by ear... I was able to do that only thanks to my determination and lots and LOTS of mistakes, but now it all makes sense! And it's going to be so much easier and fun! THANK YOU so much for this, that's huge! (that's what she said ;) )

I'm really envious about my best friend who possesses perfect pitch, yet he sometimes boasts that to me by instantly saying that certain note in a short period of time, I don't know why that makes me feel guilty😂, the way he showed off nearly made me stroke him😂
hahaha I don't have perfect pitch and I can play by ear... i have relative pitch though.. but i think anyone can do it, it all has to do with training your ear
@@oxitocyn with present technology I don't think you even have to have any musical training, aside from a few basic guidelines... I use an audio analyzer to capture humming, and it shows the frequency changes across time (I just choose the note frequency that is closest to the target across a horizontal time-line)- from there I can harmonize the notes in a variety of ways depending on the mood I wish to create. I have had no musical training, I cannot play any instrument at all and I certainly do no have either the gift of perfect pitch or relative pitch. I just have access to a DAW and some simple computer software. I do have some ebooks on music theory but much of the subject and terminology seems archaic - I have learned far more by simply experimenting than any thing else.
Wow Mark, you are a natural born teacher. Thank you so much for these tutorials. All of this makes sense and is the key everyone needs to know to get learning the piano. Amazing! Thank you from the land down under.
i had always wanted to play some songs that did not have any sheets or videos and my mom never let me have a piano teacher, so this helps for unwritten songs! thank you so much!

Awesome video! I would also suggest one more mini step "Find the *correct* key" at the end. If you're humming/whistling/singing the song purely from memory, it is likely you remember the melody correctly but you simply remember it in a different key. So actually listening to the original song will also give you the key the song was originally written for, which I think is handy if you want to really practice it later.

Depends. Some songs might not be written for your vocal range, and humming it in your vocal range means you’ll find the right key for you. But if it’s for someone else, that’s another issue, in which case definitely find the correct key.
Thank you so much! I played the melody of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on my own!!! Gotta find the chords too now 😀... Thank you so so much! these methods definitely work... everyone should try!!
This is THE best video out there to learn how to play by ear ! I can play the melody of most of the songs but couldn't understand how the chords are placed ! I am learning keyboard for more than 1 year from a professional .Now I played 5 songs after getting lil bit grasp of music theory ! Thankyou
That's crazy to think that I've been playing the piano for ten years and yet no one ever taught me this kind of stuff. Well, you have, now. Thank you very much, I'm going to practice right now ! You earned yourself a new subscriber !

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been trained as a classical pianist for around 11 years (stopped exams at around RCM Grade 10).... And after all these years I hate the fact I can "only" play very advanced classical scores. But NOTHING else. If I don't have my "current" scores or if I have not memorized it, I can't play anything (except playing from some easier music by sight reading).... I have become very aware of this since I just started teaching and have since been looking at how to learn to improvise. I have seen a few videos about how to start on the black keys, but THIS....THIS is complete magic! (and at the same time so obvious). I think you just gave me huge hope that I can learn to improvise too!
THANK-YOU! I'm an adult learning piano (have played other instruments), and you're a GREAT instructor, GREAT method, very well explained and demonstrated :-)
Thanks a lot..after watching this video I figured out key signature, tune and chords of one of the scores I wanted to try within an hour...this is a very helpful guide
Wow brilliant lesson sir! I play a fair bit but have never done it by ear. Your system makes it possible for me to do it. I always thought that it would take years but you shortened it to 21 minutes!
Good tutorial! You can tell that his skill is legit. You can see TH-camrs that give out tutorials, but they have no songs being played, leaving me doubting if they know first hand how something is really done.

Thank you so much for this, for real, it helped me a lot. None of the music teachers ever gave me good directions like this before. They’re more like: “Ah! Maybe one day you’ll be able to do it”. Thank you! ♥
Lots of music teachers can't play by ear. They can only sight read because they've never practiced playing by ear. However my first sax tutor swore he couldn't play by ear but in fact he could - he just had the wrong idea of what playing by ear meant and thought that knowing the chord progression was somehow cheating.
ive been playing for like 6-7 years and i suck at piano. i do lessons every week but make literally 0 progress so i hope this can help me play things i like.
I have just starting piano lesson and I think I'm going to learn more from you than the real live person i'm taking lessons from. I think I'm going to practice this lesson and see how much i understand and next month take your class thanks so much. Thumbs up.

I used to be really good at this as a kid, would figure out simple songs and play them for other people to sing to in school at lunch time (I spent most of my lunch break in the music practice rooms). Haven't played piano in years though so probably very rusty now. Thanks for the tips! Will try this method 😁
Mark , its a good lesson . About the key : the last note of the refrain is mostly the key ! For if it is an F, it is mostly written in F majeur or F minor.
Hi Mark. Thank you for the great lesson. Do you also have one where you teach us a technique on how to add final touches? I want the songs to sound better. I always start with an arpeggio of the chord progression for left hand then the melody on the right. I feel that this is just the minimum requirements. Now I want to take it to the next level. Hope you can help. Thanks again!

watched to 9:00, I know I should subscribe to this channel, which I did. And there is more to learning for me than just sitting and watching someone else explain the theory of music. Bravel Marks
It would be more facinating to see what you are doing when play with left hand. Ineresting because I do exactly the same. Thank you for what you are sharing much apreciated.
Hey man. I do exactly how you do. Allthough i don't write anything down😇 Right now iam busy with phrasing/riffing because i like to boost my "listening by ear skills"
Hv to catch the scale first, thru' resonance of the notes of the song. Hv to be well versed with the major and minor scales of all the 12 keys. Good clip!
I never thought of that! Hum the notes and match them with the Corresponding keys! Because I can’t read sheet music. But I do have a memory of how it sounds. That makes so much sense now!
Fingering is very important when your looking to play more complicated music or adding lots of beautiful chord Harmony. Simple songs sure you might not need it like the songs be demonstrated in the video but later on fingerings are gonna hold you back to playing fluently.

This is what everybody wants bro...🎼🎶🎶
Do ear training it kills most if not all the guess work...
I didnt understand why he put the b flat to the beginning
I think because he identified the key as Bb major and Bb is the root note of the 1 chord.
Super tips
When you play the wrong note there are only 87 other notes that it can be
The fact that you said 87 and have 87 like scared me
There was something called octave . rip
Yes you are funny, but also incorrect...
As an other person said there are the octaves.
@@fantasiovibes9833 yes😂
nope just 7 others are just change in pitch each group is called an octave
and yeah I got the joke 😂 just passing on the knowledge
1. Have perfect pitch
2. Complete step 1
3. Complete step 2
Good luck :)

Yo this guy is and absolute legend and he has a sense of humor too
hahah true
hell yea
I like how he directs himself
Humming while you try matching the chords is almost like tuning a guitar with another intrument to match the tune.
This is very helpful for a person like me who only play by ear. I play pretty well for someone with minimal music training.

Hey man. I do exactly how you do. Allthough i don't write anything down😇 Right now iam busy with phrasing/riffing because i like to boost my "listening by ear skills"
Hv to catch the scale first, thru' resonance of the notes of the song. Hv to be well versed with the major and minor scales of all the 12 keys. Good clip!
"I start with humming the notes" well my first problem I can't hit the note with my voice 😂😂
Funny cause I can and I can play by ear
@@strawberrykat1397 Can I ask you please ?
Same, and imagination the notes is hard

This was an awesome tutorial. I've always played this way but discounted it as 'Not real playing' so I'm feeling so encouraged to keep going. Thankyou
This is what i really need.
I never thought of that! Hum the notes and match them with the Corresponding keys! Because I can’t read sheet music. But I do have a memory of how it sounds. That makes so much sense now!
thank you so much this helped me play my favorite song thanks
Being a pianist myself if you want to play by ear first you must learn fingering its very important for you to play your chords and melody easily
Fingering? Then you may as well say, you must first learn to play the pedal. Fingering has nothing to do with playing by ear...
Fingering is very important when your looking to play more complicated music or adding lots of beautiful chord Harmony. Simple songs sure you might not need it like the songs be demonstrated in the video but later on fingerings are gonna hold you back to playing fluently.
“Boom!” Thank you! Very big help!!! 🤘🏻😆
Thank you so much bro very helpful 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍

Thank you for this. Very informative.
Golden treasure on youtube ❤️
Very Nice Video For Beginners
Thanks....this is the best play by ear video of all of them!!!
Like the way you teach. It's quite easy to understand. Thanks.
Bang on about humming the tune. I am a beginner and I find sheet music slow enough just yet and its real cool to still know what notes to play. Im at when the saints go marching saves time.
