How To Play Piano By Ear (2 of 2) Robert Laughlin
1/28
Thu 5 - 8:30 p.m. Hale Pālanakila  104 $45; Series $69; + $25 lab fee (payable to instructor) Ll01MU164 Contrary to popular belief, anyone can learn to play by ear. This workshop shows you the inside secrets professional piano players use (but never reveal). You'll learn how to pick tunes right out of your head--melodies as well as chords. In addition, you will learn how to get songs off the radio (think of the money you'll save on sheet music). You'll even learn how to transpose. This workshop goes beyond mere "ear training." In this class, you'll obtain information found nowhere else, and you'll be picking out tunes by ear -- with both hands -- from the very first day. Open to musicians (not just piano players) who have a basic understanding of chord theory. Beginners should take Instant Piano for Hopelessly Busy People as a prerequisite.
