Playing Piano - Learning To Play Piano By Ear

By Hazel Knox

Think about this: would you want to play the piano without the hassle of dragging your music sheets? Or make music with simply humming alongside the tune? Have you usually wanted to play but your visual senses make it very extremely hard? Don't you realize that by simply humming a tune, you can play it the same?

Some musicians, professional in their own art, did not begin their career through any manuals or tutors. What they did is go along with the tone that they listen to and play together with the beating of the music. No notes, no mentors.

1. Gather your things. Obviously you'll need a piano or perhaps a keyboard, whichever it is that's available.

2. Remember that the piano is definitely an instrument that is comprised of 88 keys. Along these are 12 straight notes. The first white key is the A-note, next white note is B, C, D, E, F, G. Then after the last white G-note, the next white note once again becomes the A-note, then the repetition begins. This sequence is repeated until the last white note is done for around seven times. That would include the black notes that represent flats and sharps.

3. The C note is also referred to as the Home Key. To find the C note, it's the white key on the left side of two black keys. If you are still amazed, focus at your piano. You will notice that at the middle part is the C-note. Therefore, that would be the first major chord.

The thumb of your right hand will function as number 1 because it is put at the C straddled in the middle. From there, count all keys going to the right. Involve the black keys. When you've counted till five, that would serve as the 2nd note in C chord. Put your middle finger there. From counting to number five, count until 8, that will be your final note. Place your pinkie on it.

Sound it all together and you will hear very an impressive cycle.

4. Be acquainted in making use of the above stated sequence...1,5, 8 counting. You can begin with any note, just be certain that when you count, involve the flats and sharps.

5. If you have time on practicing these easy chords, you will finally realize that by means of counting and attentive listening, you'll effortlessly make it through.

Through the advantage of listening, you'll be in a position to distinguish the distinction in sound. You'll be able to spot the slight differences in tune. Unless of course you're deaf.

Bits of advice:

* Don't settle your practice simply on the middle keys of the piano. You will find numerous keys to choose from.

* Don't restrict yourself in using one or two fingers. Through practice, you can use all fingers including both hands.

* Practice.
