Of course! It'd be easy! There are only 3 possible notes, so it'd be pretty simple to learn any song by ear.

So what if you mastered those notes. Practiced them for 3 or 4 days. To the point it was so easy you were bored with them. Then I told you, "Ok these 3 are pretty easy. Let's add just 2 more notes."

Again, it'd be easy to learn! After all, it's just 2 new notes. Then you master those 5 notes. Then we add two more. And two more. And two more.

And next thing you know you're playing by ear. That's the right way to learn. That's how I learned to play by ear in my College Aural Skills course. And that's how you should learn too if you want to make improvement.

The Play By Ear Mastery course does just that. First gives you examples with just a couple notes. Then a couple more. Then a couple more. So you can learn without frustration.

Techniques like learning intervals, "Left Hand theory" (this makes it significantly easier to learn the harmony of a song), and my personal favorite... "Hook Patterns."

After covering over 100 songs, I figured out something interesting...

There are a couple of patterns that almost every song uses.

I call these patterns "Hook Patterns", because if you memorize these 5 patterns really well, the instant you hear one in a song you'll instantly know where it is on the keyboard. It'll "Hook" into your mind.

And since 95% of songs contain at least one of these hook patterns, you'll have your starting point for almost every song.

These tricks, if you learn them well, can more than double your speed of learning a song by ear.

Here's how it works. Music theory can help you narrow down the list of possible pitches that come next when learning to play by ear.

Here's an example (note: some of this stuff may be over your head, but once you take the Theory course it'll all make sense!):

You start out with 88 possible notes. But knowing your theory, you realize there are just 12 notes that repeat. Then you know you're playing in the key of, for example, G. That narrows it down to just 7 notes (G A B C D E and F#). Then you know the song starts on a G Major chord. So you know the note is likely either G, B, or D.

So now you've narrowed down 88 notes to the 3 most likely notes.

Makes it a bit easier, don't ya think.

Here's what I mean. Imagine you have a lemonade stand. Every day you go to the bottom of your driveway and sell lemonade. You're making money, but in order to make that money, you have to go down to the bottom of your driveway and work hours and hours a day to sell lemonade.

This is the equivalent of learning music with sheet music. Yea, you can learn songs, but every time you want to learn a new song, it requiers a lot of practice.

One day you decide to set up some vending machines to sell the lemonade for you.

It's a big investment up front. You have to save up enough money to buy the vending machines. You have to research the legalities of it. You have to go from location to location asking people if you can set up your machines there. You're not making any money at this point, it's an investment.

Every day you make money. You sit at home and while you sleep your machines are up and running making money, day after day.

Almost no work is required. You simply go once a week to refill the machines and take out your cash!

This is like playing by ear. With consistent practice, it'll take about 4 months to learn to play by ear. It's an investment.

But once you've learned to play by ear, you'll be learning songs with almost no effort at all! You can learn songs daily. Instead of spending months to learn them.
