HOW TO PLAY THE PIANO BY EAR: FIFTY KEYS THAT WILL UNLOCK THE MYSTERY is a book for students who want to learn how to play the piano by ear and for teachers who desire to teach this skill. The book begins with the first things that elementary students need to know and eventually presents material that could be used for advanced students. More information about playing the piano by ear needs to be available. Very few teachers teach their students about this, and many do not know where to begin because they have never learned how to play the piano by ear. This book will provide all the information that students and teachers need. There is no traditional notation in this method. All the lessons can be read. Each level offers several exercises and pieces that the students can play. Fifty lessons called "keys" will unlock the mystery. There are no audio examples. Teachers must be able to play everything in the lessons for their students. If a teacher needs to learn to play the piano by ear, they must practice all the exercises before teaching their students. This book also intends to help blind and visually impaired students who want to learn to play the piano but do not desire to learn using braille music. I have played the piano by ear for over sixty years. These lessons will help me achieve my goal of having more people learn to play the piano by ear.
