hahaha asked:


I’ve been playing piano for about five years. I’m fairly decent at sightreading and have been trained in piano traditionally. I’m looking for something more though. I want to be able to play by ear. I want to get more out of the piano then just playing sheet music. I’ve looked at different programs online such as rythymic patterns (playpianotoday.com) and pianomagic.com. They both claim to teach you how to play by ear. Are either of theses programs good? Should I invest in one of these? Is one better then the other? Or can you recomend another method? Thanks for the help.

   The easy sheet music may be best because you can learn things there you can learn things there but its my opinion now that same thing not long ago ive tried one or two of those programs.
   The basic lines and then start to some ear playing.
