Description

Discover why most musicians never learn to play music by ear, and the one tweak to your practice that makes all the difference.Julian shares how he learned to play music by ear by doing something counter intuitive - instead of 'practicing in all 12 keys' as we're often taught, he decided to double down on ONE key, which he focused on and studied for 2 years. During this time he learned to play music by ear very quickly, since he transcribed every song in the same key.Free Ear Training Videos:Watch Julian's 4 part ear training video series to learn more - Sign up here.

Welcome to Julian Bradley's ear training podcast for musicians! Learn to play music by ear using proven practice methods, while avoiding common mistakes that many musicians make. Episodes include ear training practice at the piano, college style ear training tests, and Q+A sessions to help you learn to play music by ear. Julian is a jazz pianist from the U.K. and has a masters degree in music. All episodes are based on Julian's 'Fixed Key Learning' method - where musicians transcribe all songs in the same key (we use C minor). This way you'll learn to spot the common melodic shapes and chord progressions that most songs use, without the distraction of changing keys for every song. Topics include: how to play piano by ear, relative pitch lessons, chord progression ear training, guitar ear training, how to play guitar by ear, and much more!
