Dear Friends,
Have you ever wished that you could just go to the piano and play your favorite songs? Do you wish to play “Happy Birthday” spontaneously from your heart for your loved ones? Have you ever been in a Christmas party where people want to sing “We Wish you a Merry Christmas”, but you can’t play impromptu without the piano book? Or what about the time in a touching farewell gathering where someone requests to play “Auld Lang Syne”, but you have to let them down because no score sheet is available. I was caught in these kinds of miserable predicaments many times.
Perhaps you’ve been playing piano for years, yet you can’t even play simple songs without a score sheet. You’ve also been trying to play by ear but with only haphazard success in finding the appropriate chords. You may be totally new to the piano, yet you’re intimidated by the thought of needing to go through years of piano lessons. I have good news for you. I have written a creative piano-method book to help you get started playing songs by ear immediately.
In my method, I use the Asian Numeric Music Notation system, also known as “Jianpu” in China, as my basis to show you how to play by ear. This system is used in the Asian world. Since number is a universal language, this system is easy to understand worldwide. What’s more, the scale numbering system can easily be translated into tones of sounds to hear in your head. It is important for you to be able to listen deeply to the sounds that you hear in your head in order to play by ear. The numbers also make explicit what seems to be hidden to the casual eyes. You will discover how these numbers in a song display visual patterns that can easily be translated into an aural experience. Asian people mainly use this system for singing. But I have expanded this system into a training program to help people play by ear.
The technique I’m going to show you is fascinating. I discovered it in the process of learning to play by ear myself. I worked out the technique with my knowledge of music and the method is doing its marvelous work on me. It is both a “right brain” and “left brain” method. Right brain concentrates on listening deeply to the sounds you make. Left brain concentrates on understanding music theory with its logic and facts. When both paths are integrated in a harmonious way, you are on your way to playing songs by ear. I have shown this method to people and I am thrilled to see how this method is working for them. Some of my students have no music background, but with this method, they are able to play by ear in half-a-year. It is incredible. In each lesson, I will take you step-by-step to gain this skill. Be patient! It won’t happen overnight but it will surely come when you least expect it.
Let your dream come true by join me and many students who are now learning piano online.
