What exercises are good for playing the piano by ear?

Post by ichigo16 »

hey guys, i have always wanted to play my favorite songs from the radio etc by ear so i went and bought the Earmaster software. I have been finding the exercises great but i was just wondering what are the best exercises on the program that i should use in order to be able to play any song i hear by ear?

Thanks

Hi,

Training with intervals is a great place to start. Add chords and scales when you feel confident enough with melodic and harmonic intervals. Finally, also add the melodic dictation to your daily routine.
