Perhaps the best all around methods to learn to play by ear.
Advantages of Playing Piano By Ear
1) "Being able to instantly recognize chords that are played in
songs even without being at a piano."
"You are able to learn songs faster and easier because you
understand why chords are played at certain points in songs."
2) "Not required to memorize chord progressions (pattern of
chords played one after the other) because understanding them
will automatically incline you to know what chord to play next."
"Allows you to improvise and add your own "flavor" to the song.
This is especially advantageous when playing in a church as you
can never predict how long a song will be sung or what key the
singer might resolve to.
In a band, this might be helpful if the
leader simply instructs everyone to surprisingly repeat a part
of the song or change the key in which the song is currently
being played in."
3) "Will allow you to use the same methods to play virtually any
song you want (most songs; don't quote me if you're referring to
Mozart as this might take more practice than most other songs)."
"Saves you the money and time of having to go out and buy the
sheet music to a song that you've already learned how to play by
using the ability of your ear to recognize melodies, chords, and
progressions. However, buying the sheet music isn't a bad idea
if you want to learn specific parts to songs that have high
levels of complexity."
When my students asked me to take a look and various adult piano learning methods I chose Rocket Piano to review first and to be truthful my first reason was the price.
Many requests came from people that were not sure if they would take to piano lessons and did not want to invest an arm and a leg to find out.
At 39.95 it came in as the lowest cost online piano course I could find on the web.
At a truly affordable price Rocket Piano deserves its reputation as one of the better online piano programs. If you are an adult piano student either at a beginner level or wanting to dust off some rusty technique, you should seriously consider this self teaching program.
