Beginner Acoustic Piano Lessons-Intro To Piano Ear Training

In this series of lessons, I'm going to talk to you about playing by ear, and give you tips and tricks and go over the basics of training your ear. I hope to shorten the distance between hearing something in your head, and translating that to the piano keyboard. You may think you are tone deaf, but if you can hear an interval going up or down then you aren't tone def. You just don't have an understanding of intervals and how notes go together.

I'm going to go through things like intervals, and understanding how chords move together. I'm going to teach you a bit about understanding scales, and learning how to listen. It's all about understanding the keyboard as a visual representation of what you are hearing in your head. So, that’s what we will be going through as you view the next few videos. Let's get started!

Beginner Acoustic Piano Lessons-How To Write A Love Song

Beginner Acoustic Piano Lessons-How To Write A Love Song I'm going to be really honest. I've actually only written one love song, for my wife when we got married. When writing loves songs, you want to remember the theme of tenderness, and the emotions that are going through you. So, how do you translate that to the piano? I kind of like the key of E flat, I think it is a pretty sounding key that is good for this type of music. When you play the E flat chord, try adding a 9th note to it (you remember your intervals don't you?). The 9th note adds a little something to the chord. Maybe try going up an octave after a while. Whatever you do, just remember to focus on creating that tenderness.

Beginner Acoustic Piano Lessons-Learn To Play Piano When you are beginning a new task or learning something new it is always best to have a starting point. In this lesson you are given a starting point on the piano. That starting point is Middle C. From there we go up the keyboard using the white keys and make a C Major Scale. From the notes in that scale we are able to build chords. The chords we build are called triads or 3-note chords.
