play piano by ear
SuJuBlue asked:


I’ve been playing the piano for about 8 years and I’ve basically mastered sightreading but I’d really like to learn how to play by ear and such. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions etc for me?? I really need some help!
Well since most of u are saying that u have to born with it i guess i should just throw this dream out the door lol…

    An expert what would help is for you are familiar with the key notes and can begin to play by ear.
