How to Play Piano by Ear

This six-week course teaches you how to unlock the ability to play piano without relying on written notation. You’ll learn to recognize chords, identify progressions, and develop your ear so you can play melodies and harmonies on the spot. Whether you’re a total beginner or a sheet-music-trained player wanting more freedom, this course will help you confidently improvise, accompany yourself, and bring songs to life with your own style. 

By the end, you’ll have the skills to listen to a song, pick it apart, and recreate it on the keys — no sheet music required.
