đčđïžS4: E7 Playing By Ear: The Hidden Skill Inside Every Musician
In this episode of Learn Piano: A Personal Practice, we explore the fascinating skill of playing by earâthe bridge between what you hear and what you play. Some pianists seem born with it, effortlessly recreating songs without sheet music, while others develop it over time through listening, experimenting, and recognizing musical patterns. Start with a familiar tune âOde to Joy,â and learn how to match melodies to chords, and hear how ear training, intervals, and lead sheets help connect your inner hearing to your hands. Whether youâre naturally intuitive or still learning to trust your ear, this episode reminds you that music begins inside you, long before it ever touches the page.
