The "Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear" course covers everything from the basics and fundamentals to Cmin13 (b9b5) chords. The following lesson focuses on chapter one from the course. If you are already familiar with flats and sharps, you may skip this lesson.
Sharps & Flats (03)

Note: Disregard the "SLXYZ" numbers (if any) as they refer to sound examples. Our 300-pg course comes with a CD with over 330 sound examples which can be heard with the click of a button. (Example: SL003)
This concludes lesson #3. Meanwhile, have you read about our course yet? If not, you’re missing out on a valuable tool! Click here to read stories from people who have tried the course…

Jermaine, this is the best lesson I’ve ever had before. My previous teacher never taught me ‘Sharp and Flats’, she just taught me the ‘Notes’ and just playing some songs. Thank You! With these lessons, I’m sure I can plays piano well!!

What a wonderful privilege to have a such a sophiscated tutoring on music right on your PC. With such an opportunity, no one can has any excuse of not learning music. I want to say a big thank you to Jermaine for passion he has to see that he grooms up other people in music. I’m just a beginner in music in who is aspiring to have music (especially the piano) as my hobby. Thanks alot and God bless you.
