Learn to Play Piano by Ear
Have you ever wondered if what you know about playing piano is accurate? Consider the following paragraphs and compare what you know to the latest info on playing piano.
Consider this...
Do you want to be capable of playing your piano without the assistance of sheets of music?
Or hum your music along with a certain tune?
Are you senses visually not what they should be, but you desire to play a piano?
Don't you know that by simply humming a tune, you could play it the same?
Many professional musicians, didn't begin their particular careers using instructors or manuals. They actually learned by playing tones that they hear and following the music's rhythm. Not a piece of sheet music or teacher in sight.
1 - Get your things in order. You will of course require a keyboard or piano, whichever you have. You just have to be able to use at least 3 fingers. You will need adequate time for practicing. Make sure the piano is in tune.
2. Remember that the piano is 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 again becomes the A - note, then the repetition begins. This sequence is repeated until the last white note is done for about 7 times. That would include the black notes that represent flats and sharps.
3. The C note is also known as the Home Key. To trace the C note, it is the white key on the left side of two black keys. If you're still amazed, stare at your piano. You'll notice that at the middle part is the C - note. Thus, that would be the first major chord.
If you are not up to date on your piano facts, how does the affect your playing? Be sure to keep up on all vital piano playing information.
The thumb of your right hand will serve as number 1 because it is put at the C straddled in the middle. From there, count all keys going to the right. Include the black keys.
When you reach the number 5 you have found the second note of the C chord. This is played with your middle finger. Then start at 5 and count until you reach 8, that is the last not of the chord and is played with your pinkie finger.
Now hit these keys together and an impressive sound is accomplished.
4 - Get real familiar with using the sequence mentioned above... 1, then 5, and 8 in counting. This goes for starting with any of the notes, just remember to count, includes the sharps and flats.
Use these chords as your roots. This will work perfectly if you decided to start on a sharp. You'll be making a sharp chord by then.
5 - You will understand what close listening and counting will do for your playing through enough practice.
If you drop the 5 and go to 4 then you will have a minor chord, in place of the major chord.
Now, if you're playing for a C chord, all you have to do is move your finger one key to the left to be able to produce a C minor.
The benefits of good listening you will start knowing different tones. You will also be capable of hearing variations in a tune. This is true as long as you hearing is good enough.
Some Practical Advice
Don't just do your practicing in the middle of your piano. Many keys are available for you to select.
Learn to use more that more than just one maybe two fingers. With enough practice, you can learn to play with all your fingers on your right and left hands.
Practice.
