"Discover the Secrets to Playing Absolutely ANY Song You Want in
Virtually Minutes"...
Quick
Question ... Are you capable of recognizing these
chords or scales without looking at sheet music? Do you
not know that many of the same chords are
repeated over and over again in different songs? ... It's not
a matter of memorizing every chord in a song but
recognizing patterns and being able to predict
what chords or progressions will occur next...
If
you want to learn how to improve your piano playing, you
can't afford to miss this valuable information!
These secrets
aren't super-complicated theories that take
a countless number of hours to learn ... they are
simple, easy-to-understand principles that every
musician should know and
utilize! |
From: Jermaine Griggs
Dear Friend,
If you're like most beginning
musicians, you're struggling to learn music theory -- how melodies,
songs, and chords are formed. Whether you've wrestled with self-help
books, "how-to" videos, and music training manuals — or have taken
personal music lessons — some of you have been disappointed.
To be quite frank,
learning the piano is not an easy task. It requires a great
level of understanding, application, and commitment. In fact, it can
never be totally mastered. That is, a musician can always
seek to learn something new --- whether it be an unused chord
progression, unfamiliar music theory, or exploring different genres
of music ... there's always room for improvement and exploration!
You don't know me yet, I realize, but
I'd hate to think of you wasting your time and money on learning
to play piano by ear only to find that your approach was flawed
from the beginning. That is, either you were learning techniques
that have little or nothing to do with the type of music you
want to play, courses that hardly teach you the basics of
what you want to learn, or videos that require you to simply
imitate what the instructor is doing, neglecting the
theory behind it. That is why I've created HearandPlay.com and
have taught thousands of people how to play the piano by ear.
>>> Over
11,734 people
from over 30 Countries have already relied on me to teach them
how to play the piano. Many of them have since gone on to play in
bands, churches, special events and more (as shown in their
Testimonials)!
>>> Over
1,211 of them now
teach beginning piano to students! Imagine going from learning
piano in a few months to passing on your knowledge to children in your
community, church ... or even family members!
[Survey Updated: 3/25/04]
>>> Hundreds of them now
play the piano for their churches, special events (weddings,
celebrations, ceremonies, parties ... and the list goes on) and
even assist in directing the choir. These secrets will open up
unimaginable
doors! .... believe me, I use them myself!.
[Survey Updated: 3/25/04]
>>> Students
have paid me
anywhere from $45 to $125 an hour for musical instruction.
Since launching HearandPlay.com in August 2000, I no longer teach
privately as this website has grown to be one of the leading resources
on the net serving more than 65,700 subscribers with our piano
lessons, newsletters, and more!
These organizations
along with many others have been impacted and have honored
me for my accomplishments in various fields ...

Why do you need
to know how to Play Piano By Ear?
Let me first start by
saying that this article does not intend to discourage you from
sight reading. In fact, we teach the basics of sight reading
even before exploring the techniques of playing by ear. For those of you who don't know what sight reading
is, it is the ability to read songs from sheet music. Although
this is a wonderful skill to have, if one does not know the
theory behind what they are playing, it will create several
disadvantages:
-
Sight readers will
rely totally on sheet music. Imagine being at church or at
an event where you are playing and you must keep your eyes glued
to a piece of paper ... how would this feel? I am not speaking
from inexperience! I have been there ... Don't forget ---- I
teach sight reading as well!
-
Sight readers will be
less likely to improvise (add style, chords ... respond to
what they hear) because their goal is to play whatever is
written on the sheet music accurately.
-
Sight readers will
attempt to memorize entire songs instead of simply recognizing
why chords are played at certain points in a song ... this is
solely why I've had a passion to play piano by ear for so many
years! There's no better feeling than being able to
play what you feel!
Note: Don't
misunderstand me in any way. These are the qualities of sight
readers who don't understand the theories behind the music that
they play. For one to be skilled in both sight reading, music
theory, and ear-training is a great advantage. I encourage one to
pursue anything that will enhance their playing!

Advantages of Playing Piano By Ear |
How
does this help you? |
- Being able to
instantly recognize chords that are played in
songs even without being at a piano.
|
- You are able to learn
songs fast and easy because you understand
why chords are played at certain points in songs.
|
- Not required to
memorize chord progressions (pattern of chords played
one after the other) because understanding them will
automatically incline you to know what chord to
play next.
|
- Allows you to
improvise and add your own "flavor" to the song. This
is especially advantageous when playing in a church as
you can never predict how long a song will be
sung or what key the singer might resolve to. In a band,
this might be helpful if the leader simply instructs
everyone to surprisingly repeat a part of the song or
change the key in which the song is currently being played
in.
|
- Will allow you to use
the same methods to play virtually any song you
want (most songs; don't quote me if you're referring
to Mozart as this might take more practice than most
other songs).
|
- Saves you the money of
having to go out and buy the sheet music to a song
that you've already learned how to play by using the
ability of your ear to recognize melodies, chords, and
progressions. However, buying the sheet music
isn't a bad idea if you want to learn specific
parts to songs that have high levels of complexity.

What I've
discovered about Playing Piano By Ear...
I have discovered
several techniques that I know you will benefit from ... these
techniques are not super-complicated theories that take
a countless number of hours to learn ... they are simple,
easy-to-understand principles that every
musician should know and utilize!
1. Learning how melodies are
constructed
I believe that it is
very important to understand how melodies are created.
Why is this? Because if you understand where melodies come from,
you will be more apt to predict where the notes of the melody are
going...
For example, (a) if I
knew that a melody was being played in C major, I would first
assess whether this melody sounds like it is created from a
major, natural minor, melodic, minor, harmonic minor, blues, or
any other scale that you can think of ... (I can show you how
to do this ... don't worry).
(b) By knowing all of
these scales and being able to recognize them with my
ear, I can then eliminate notes that are less
likely to be a part of the melody (unless they are used for
other purposes ... "accidental notes, leading notes ... etc). I
can also show you how to learn all of your major, minor, blues and
other scales. My secrets cover all of these in depth and will show
you how to play them instantly without even thinking about
it...
(c) After using these
techniques of recognizing melodies from scales, you will get more
and more experienced and will be able to immediately play melodies
in your head! This is a proven fact! It is common for me to
turn on the radio while driving in my car and hear a melody that I
am easily able to transcribe in my mind. It's wonderful ... If you
keep reading, I will show you some techniques to help you train
your ear to acquire this ability.
For example, if I
recognized that a song was being played in C major, by (1) knowing
the notes of the C major scale, (2) knowing what notes are most
likely to be played, and (3) knowing what notes are not
likely to be played, I should be able to predict what notes
will be played (or for that matter, what notes have already been
played ...)
Below, the shaded
notes represent the notes included in a C Major Scale (the
easiest scale to memorize ... its all the white notes)
By understanding (1)
what scale they are created from (whether it is Major, Minor,
Pentatonic, Aeolian, Phrygian ... don't worry, I can help you to
understand these names and how their scales are created ...
just continue reading ...)
By understanding (2) what notes are
immediately eliminated or less likely to occur throughout the
sequence of a melody, and (3) what notes are most likely to be
repeated (as illustrated above) ... one can learn virtually any
melody presented to them! It's a proven fact and you are
going to have the opportunity to benefit from this one little
secret along with tons of other secrets, techniques, tips & tricks
if you keep reading ...
... thousands of
people have already ... and you are on your way to taking
your musical ability to a whole new dimension... keep reading
and I'll show you how!
"I
started learning with the piano course about 5 weeks
ago and I can't even begin to express how well it has
helped my piano playing. Choosing this course was one
of the wisest decisions I could have ever made. Thank
you HearandPlay.com!"
Shirley
Johnson, 38, Idaho
"At
first, I have to admit that I was skeptical about
ordering your piano course. After a few weeks of your free
online lessons, I decided to purchase the "Secrets to
playing piano by ear" home study course. To make a long story short, I now
play for the children's choir at my church as well as
teach beginning lessons to students at my daycare. I
am so thankful that I stumbled across this site one
day. Keep up the good work Hear & Play Music. Thanks
again!"
Margaret Hines, 45, New Mexico
If
you can read ... then you can Play the Piano By Ear
...
Someone
has already done the work for you ... discovered the
secrets ... the principles ... the tricks ... the
strategies. All you have to do is decide
whether you are going to take advantage of this
opportunity to change your music career forever!
Major, Minor &
Modal Scales
Major scales make up melodies & chords. With the
knowing of scales, one can use a simple technique
to locate
any chord. For
example, if I knew that a C Major Scale
consisted of eight notes: C - D - E - F - G -
A - B & C, and that three of its notes make
up a major chord, all I would have to know is what three notes out of the scale make up the
chord. By knowing the formula (or technique of
forming a major chord) and not the scales, the
formula is still useless. Thus, we stress learning major scales.
Not only will you learn major scales, but natural
minor scales along with a countless number
of other music fundamentals.
Major, Minor,
Dominant ...
Chords
Do
you know how to form a major chord? A minor chord?
Diminished? Augmented?
Major or Minor Sixth? Ninth? Eleventh? ... or
Thirteenth Chord?
As discussed above, chords
come from scales! If you know your scales, with
one extra step, it is very easy to learn
any chord!
There are also
other ways of constructing chords. The
"Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear" piano course
covers several ways of learning chords
including lessons on
half step, whole step, & interval relationships,
scale degree studies on terms like "subtonic",
"subdominant", "mediant", and "dominant"
scale tones, and lessons on
altering chords.
You will literally learn
how to form over
300 chords
and their inversions in virtually minutes. The
course covers all of the following chords and
topics:
Major Triads
Minor Triads
Major Seventh Chords
Minor Seventh Chords
Dominant Seventh
Chords
Major Sixth Chords
Minor Sixth Chords
Diminished Seventh
Chords
Half Diminished
Seventh Chords / Minor Seventh with Lowered 5th
Chords (I
know it sounds confusing but you will
learn the insider's secrets to dissecting
these complex chords into easy-to-remember
chords)
Major Ninth Chords
Minor Ninth Chords
Dominant Ninth
Chords
Major Eleventh
Chords
Minor Eleventh
Chords
Dominant Eleventh
Chords
Major Thirteenth
Chords
Minor Thirteenth
Chords
Dominant Thirteenth
Chords
.... and tons of
altered chords like ...
C7 (-9)
D11 (+9)
Bb13 (-9 +11)
.... and over 20
more combinations!
Music Theory
Are you familiar
with the terms Aeolian mode, Phrygian mode, Tonic,
and Submediant? How about major thirds, minor
thirds, perfect fifths, octaves, unison intervals,
minor sixths, major sevenths, and terms like that?
These are just a few of the terms, principles, and
theory you will learn in the home study piano
course. The topics include:
Sight Reading
Techniques
Techniques
like "Circle of Fifths"
Scale Degree
Principles like Tonic, Supertonic, & Mediant scale
names

Maggie Haynes, 41, South Carolina
"This course has
been the answer to my prayers. Let me start by telling
everything that I've tried. I have bought book after book,
video after video, and have even had a personal teacher and
none of those tools even come close to the information that
I received through this course. I have even recommended your
site to my girlfriends. Thank you so much for this course
and may God bless you.
Regina
Connelly, 37, Virginia
"I am a Pastor
of a Church and was without a musician for months. I was
finally fed up with how most musicians were not committed to
the ministry and were driven by a paycheck. I have always
wanted my daughter to play the piano and when I came
across Hearandplay.com, I thought it was too good to be
true. Being a preacher, I am skeptical about many things but
I decided to buy the course for my daughter. I do not have
enough time to tell you the details of my success story, but
I can tell you this ... after 6 months, she now plays for my
Children's Choir and Morning Worship Services."

Other secrets
I've discovered about Playing Piano By Ear...
I have already shown you why it's important to understand scales -- their role in
predicting and knowing melodies, and how chords are formed using
scales. Now I want to reveal to you something that a number of
people still don't understand...
2. Learning how the melody
determines what chords are played
Ok ... you've figured
out the melody. You can play "Mary had a little Lamb" with one
finger so beautifully ... you can even play one-fingered major scales
... now what? "I know playing piano by ear doesn't consist
of playing a bunch of one fingered melodies," you're thinking. "How do
I know what
chords to play with those melodies?"
For example, I have
figured out the melody to one verse of "Amazing Grace"
(yes ... it's notated and if you don't know how to sight read,
the course will teach you in Chapters Two & Three) ....
If I told you
that there was a simple technique that could transform these
notes into 3-fingered ... 4-fingered ... or even 5-fingered
chords, what would you do? ... you'd learn that
technique so that you can use it to learn hundreds of songs
right? Wait ... or you could use that technique to learn
hundreds of songs in all 12 keys! With this technique, it
does not only teach you principles from one key, but it shows
you how to take any melody from any key and how to create
chords to accompany it.
I will demonstrate
this briefly ... (but I want you to get your hands on this
course to learn it completely. You don't know how beneficial
this will be to your musical career)...
Here are the chords that accompany the melody above
-------
Again...don't worry about the fancy notation below as I will
teach you how to sight read in my course. I am so
committed to helping you reach your musical goals, that I have
included extra chapters on sight reading techniques. So not only
will you learn the ear-theory side of the piano, but also
the sight reading side as well -------
Using my own
simple technique, it took me exactly 25 seconds to figure out
all 5 of these chords (and it actually took me 15
minutes to run it through my musical notation software).
This technique is not hard ... it's
not complicated ... Think of it like this: taking the freeway to
a destination versus taking the streets ... the freeway is no
more difficult to drive than the streets (it may take some
getting used to but once you've mastered it, you can use it to
your advantage). In fact, the above progression is one of the
easiest to figure out with the simple techniques &
principles that you will learn in my course.
My secrets teach you
how to take the freeway when it comes to learning new songs and
chords... they teach you how to learn songs
easier and faster ... with no limit to how many songs you
can learn. These principles work with just about any song,
genre, or style you can think of! I've played for churches,
rock, jazz, and classical groups --- there is no limit to what
style of music you can play ... our techniques are universal!

"I've passed
this course on to friends because they have been so amazed
at my piano playing. I have played for my church for 6 years
but never like I've played the last 4 months. I decided to
try some of the altered chord techniques and now my chords
sound so good that people come up to me and wonder if I am
the same musician that played for the choir 6 months ago.
Thank you Hear & Play!"

More Secrets Revealed ...
I want to show you just
one more secret from our home piano course. You've learned why
scales are important; you've learned that chords accompany melodies
... now I want to show you an easy technique on how to play any
melody or chord progression in all 12 keys!
3. Learning to
instantaneously play any chord (in any of the 12 keys)
Ok ... let's say you
learned how to play a C Major Chord (C - E - G). But what happens
when someone asks you to play an F Major Chord or totally switch a
song to another key for various reasons? What do you do then?
You definetely can't memorize every single chord and inversion in
the book... but you
can understand principles that will allow you to play any
chord right off the top of your head (without practicing or
memorizing it) ... how's that? .... pay close attention:
Diagram A
Diagram B
Above, you will find
the notes of the C Major Scale (Diagram A). Using a simple
technique (I will show you in my course), you can pick three notes
from that scale to create a C Major Chord (Diagram B).
"Wait ... you mean to tell me that it's that simple?" ...
Yes, it is.
Knowing this, all you
would have to do is apply the same principle to all 12 Major
Scales (which we will also show you step-by-step;
the principles to learning all 12 major & natural minor scales) ...
This same procedure, as you will soon discover, can be used to learn
virtually any chord: minor chords, dominant chords, ninth
chords, eleventh chords, and more...
After thinking it
over, If
you've decided to order my 300-pg course,

additional bonus CD (worth over $200) just for ordering before
midnight! .
I
personally guarantee that you will be playing
piano by ear in no time. I'm so convinced that
this course will be the answer to your dreams that
I will offer you a Life-time Money-Back
Guarantee! I will even allow you to keep the
free bonus (Bonus Software CD) as my

Learn Songs Right
Off the Radio ... Cassette Tapes ... and CDs ...
Everyone has their
favorite songs ... those songs they would just love to play.
With the "Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear" course, you will have the
opportunity to do just that. In no time, you will be on your way to
playing gospel, contemporary jazz, r & b, and various other styles
of music.
Many people think it's
too difficult to transcribe a song off the radio or from a cassette
tape but what they
don't know is that in many cases, it's easier than going to the
store, picking up a copy of the music, sitting down at the piano and
practicing it over and over again until it is somewhat decent enough
to play in front of others. By learning how to play piano by ear,
one can learn how to recognize chord changes in a song and
literally play the song in their mind ... even before sitting
down to the piano to play it. Here is a perfect example of
what I do when I hear a song that I would like to learn:
-
I listen to the
song all the way through
-
I listen for
different chord types
-
I listen for
familiar chord changes that I've played in other songs (you'll
find that many songs repeat chord changes that you've played a
dozen of times in other songs)
-
After
discovering the basic chord patterns of the song, I go to the
piano, find what key the song is played in (you'll learn this
technique as well ...), and attempt to play along with the
song.
-
After playing
along with the song, I stop the tape (or turn off the radio
tuner), and proceed to play the song by myself.
-
After playing
the basic chord changes, I start the tape again and listen for
unique sounds that might require me to use different
inversions (how a chord is played).
-
After choosing
inversions for my chords, I learn other details of the song
(fancy melodies, "bridges", repeats, sound volumes, etc)
I will show you
step-by-step how to take your favorite songs, transcribe them in
your head, and transfer them to the piano. It's really easier than
you think and you'll only be cheating yourself if you don't make an
effort to at least try it at no risk...
Save Money ... Save time ... Start Now!
Unlike today's
"eBooks," this home study course consists of a
300-pg
information-loaded workbook packed with tons of interactive
diagrams, charts, notations, techniques, secrets, principles,
articles, and more. These techniques have been tested and proven to
work with literally anyone regardless of age and musical
experience.
-
Over 300 pgs of revolutionary
techniques, principles & secrets
-
Over 20 chapters including two
bonus chapters on Sight Reading
-
Diagrams and Sound Examples are coded with
"SLXYZ" symbols which can be accessed on the bonus CD!
Now picture this: It's
a year from today (or a lot sooner), and you've drastically improved
your piano playing --- with a lot less effort than you expected.
Even better, you are playing in a band, directing a choir, or
serving as a musician at a church.
Now, stop and look
back on today. Considering that you've now learned how to play the
piano from scratch, or have greatly improved your piano playing,
what price tag would've made it a good investment?
To determine this, I
surveyed previous customers of other products, potential musicians,
and have analyzed the potential power of this course, and have
arrived at the affordable price of $178 (which is less than the
bonus items themselves).
UPDATE: You've arrived at this page just in time to take advantage
of a special deal that will only be going on for two more days until midnight.
This update does not appear at all times of day.
I've
dropped the price to just $69.95 (for a limited time only)
--- the lowest it's ever been. I'm doing this to see if the increase
in sales outweighs my lower profit margin. If it doesn't, and you
buy my course after the date above, expect to pay the normal price
of $178.
That's over $100 off
the normal price --- just for ordering between today and the date
above. Think about it? If you paid a piano teacher an average of $20
a week for 1 lesson, in 1 year, you would have paid the
teacher over $1,000.
Why am I giving away
my complete package (normally priced at $178) for a
special price of only
$69.95
when I can sell it for well over $100?
One reason is that I want to give everyone the opportunity to
learn piano without having to pay a piano teacher thousands of
dollars or even pay for a course well over $300. I've done my part
---- it's now your call.
I am giving you an
amazing deal to grab my 300-page information-loaded workbook
packed with tons of interactive diagrams, charts, notations,
techniques, secrets, principles, articles, and more. Don't forget...
Like I mentioned before, I will also throw in these bonuses:

single chord --- so not only will you see that a chord progression includes
a Cmin9 (b5) or an Fmaj7 (b5) chord, but you'll know exactly how I
played it (the same exact inversion and variation).

I designed this guarantee for the
99% who are honest, but naturally skeptical -- not the 1% who'll take advantage
of me. But more importantly ...
I've been offering this same
guarantee for years, and only a handful of customers have failed to learn how to
play piano with these techniques. Sure, once in a while there's a tire
kicker who buys my course, does nothing with it, and sends it back for a refund.
But as you can see from my testimonials,
customers who USE my strategies are wowed by the results, and wouldn't never
think of trading my course back for a few dollars.
Anyone can offer you a "100%
money-back guarantee". Big deal. What do they have to lose if you send their
product back? When you buy my course, I take all of the risk. If my
course doesn't deliver (in at least one year), I will personally send you a $100 gift certificate along
with your full refund.
If $178
(Special: $69.95 for the next two days)
is a lot of money for you, then ask
yourself this: Is what you're doing a hobby? Or is it a serious passion or
talent that you want to enhance? If it's just a mere hobby,
click here to subscribe to my free newsletter.
If you've read the
testimonials from my customers, you've
already seen what my product can do for you. I teach the simplest,
most easy-to-understand techniques, secrets, and principles to learning the
piano by ear.
Are you tired of playing the same
chords? Wishing that you played the piano? Playing the same sheet music over and
over? Watching others play beautiful songs by ear? Wasting your time playing
one-fingered melodies?
If you answered "Yes" to any of the
questions above and are serious about learning to play the piano by ear, here
