Mr. I.Q. asked:


I’ve been playing by ear for almost 8 years. I’m good enough to play most songs I want to play just by memorization. I even make tutorials to teach songs to people that don’t know how to read sheet music.
One problem: I don’t know to read sheet music. I know the basis (the notes, the rhythms, the symbols) for the right hand (treble clef). I was wondering if there is a way to easily recognize the notes on the left hand section (bass clef). I’m pretty sure there must be a trick because it would be too hard to master both clefs and to read different notes on different clefs simultaneously.
Any advice ?

I play piano by chords… I want to know how I can improve. If you say practice… how do I “practice”? Also… how do I play piano by ear? If it is a gift… at least how do I improve my playing piano by ear?

I don’t really have much musical knowledge, I apologize first if I used non technical terms. I’m trying to play songs on piano by listening to them. I can figure out the score for the right hand (the harmony?) of a song no problem, but it’s the left hand that befuddles me. What do I need to learn first in order to be able to play the left hand part of a song by ear?
Even if I do memorize all the chords, how do I know when to use which?

Like I said, I am not very good at reading sheet music. It takes me forever to dissect it and figure it out..usually incorrectly. I can also find a melody by ear, but I’m not really good at finding the chords to accompany it. Yet, I can sit at the piano, and not even be looking at my fingers, and I can just hit random notes, and chords, and just basically..create a song that sounds good. No clashing notes or anything. I don’t get it. =/ How can I just sit there and like, create decent sounding music, but not be able to sit there and read sheet music or play a song by ear with ease?

Create a video blog…instantly.
