A Simple Home Study CourseLearn to Play your Favorite Songs on the Piano...
Without the Need to Learn to Read Music first!Let's face it, learning to read music and play piano at the same time is tough! The problem with learning to play the piano by notation is that practice can quickly become a drudgery practicing all the "mechanics". On the other hand, even though some "play by ear only" books will tell you can do fine without an understanding of music, their method usually means you can only go so far and then you must start learning notation from scratch.
But now there's good news...
Recently a long out-of-print manual by M. Emett Wilson, a former professor of instrumental music at Ohio State University was re-discovered. How to Play the Piano By Ear: A Simple Home Study Course gives you the quickest and easiest way to learn to play the piano by ear... while, in the process, learning most everything you'll need to know about musical notation "as you go". It is a wonderful, motivating, accessible "how to" manual that many top pianists once used to perfect their piano playing. (And even if you're already playing the piano by note, you'll benefit immensely from investigate what ear playing can contribute to your further progress.)
The manual is divided up into 9 comprehensive sections:
The Secret to Playing the Piano By Ear * Simple Melodies Strategies * Scales Mastery
Chording Success * Harmony Domination * Minor Scales Tactics
Polyphony Formula * Intervals Breakthrough * Reading Music & MemorizationEach section is written in easily-understood language, and includes dozens of examples, simple songs for practice, follow up tips, exercises, and more. The emphasis in this course is "hands on" practical instruction and motivation. You don't get bogged down in long-winded theory or academic mumbo-jumbo.
A companion Teacher's Guide to How to Play the Piano By Ear: A Simple Home Study Course is also included with this PDF format manual.
This is not only a guide to a highly enjoyable experience at the keyboard, but also a source book of general music appreciation which will enhance your understanding and enjoyment of all types of music.
