About this ebook
Have you ever wanted a method to learn to play by EAR? My method has proven to be very successful for many students.
Level: Beginners to Advanced
In this course, you will learn 10 steps to start playing songs by EAR. The principles of playing by ear are laid out in detail. I also demonstrate in audios and in 40 videos with animated dotted keyboards to teach you how to play in different keys with the Asian Numeric Music Notation. Each video shows a song demonstrated in at least 3 keys.
This is a further look at the approach I take in this Series.
Think in SCALE TONE NUMBERS to play BY EAR
To play a song by ear, first limit yourself to the 7 scale tones of a key.
I use software-animated videos that show you clearly how to apply the simple Asian Music Notation to playing songs by ear. I first demonstrate how this is easily done in the key of C.
Play song easily in ALL 12 KEYS
What you can do to the key of C can easily be done to any key, even in the more difficult keys such as Db key, B key or F# key. The thinking and application is CONSISTENT in all 12 keys.
In my videos, using 40 songs, I show you how to apply the Asian Numeric Music Notation to playing songs in all 12 different keys. I purposely also choose some of the harder keys to play in (B, Db, F#) so that you can see how easy the system is once your thinking is clear.
Playing in all keys: Simplified FINGERING and HANDSHAPES
I learned the traditional fingering of playing all 12 major scales. I want to stress: when I follow this numeric notation, I do not use the fingering prescribed by the traditional method because it does not lend itself to playing songs easily in different keys. The traditional fingerings work great for classical pieces.
However, my fingering is very simple and it would not clash with any of your traditional learning at all. I explain it in the course. The easy handshape and fingering help you play easily without thinking too much about flats or sharps when playing with the more difficult keys. The idea is to be consistent in your learning process.
Once you master a key, you can use any kind of fingering you please. The whole idea is to help you play by ear and play with ease right away. This is my primary concern in my teaching, throughout all the Series. You need a QUIET AND FOCUSED mind to learn to play by EAR so that you can listen DEEPLY to the sounds and not be concerned with inconsistent fingerings.
Learn to LISTEN DEEPLY
A lot of ear training programs want to help us to LISTEN DEEPLY to the sounds. My approach uses songs to help you listen DEEPLY to the tones you play rather than naming the intervals such as M6, m6, m2, M2, m7 or M7 etc. If playing songs by ear is what you want, this is perfect for you. If you want to learn sound intervals and distinguish them, you would have to go for ear training software for those drilling exercises.
Have fun,
Rosa

She graduated from University of British Columbia and received her teaching certificate specializing in Chemistry and teaching English as a second language. She went on to receive her Master's degree in Christian Theological Ministry at Ontario Theological Seminary in Toronto. She started full time ministry with her husband in 1989 and received intensive Pastoral Counselling and Discipleship Training at Christian Disciples Church. They were ordained to become church ministers as Pastors in 1996 in a local church in Tsuen Wan and have been ministering to this same congregation for about 30 years now. Over the years, she has gone on church missions to Mongolia, Sydney, Nepal, India and expedition trips to the Holy Lands: Israel, Greece and Turkey. Wherever she went, she found herself taking up the music ministry and became the church pianist for that church. Many people at church have asked her to teach them to play piano. Her piano courses are very unique because she was finally willing to share her Unique Piano Method: Color ChordImprovisation Method known as CCI. The CCI method works for all types of music: Gospel, Pop and Standards. This Piano Method is easy, fun and creative that you learn to play piano not only from music score sheets, but to play chords from fake books and eventually to play by ear. Students all over the world have requested for courses to teach them play standards and popular songs. As a result she developed 3 Great Reharmonization Method courses for them to play from fake books and play by ear. The Dreamy Piano Techniques courses, especially the one on Autumn Leaves is her students favorite. She has a piano website at Learn Piano With Rosa where she continues to offer new courses to her students.
