This seems to be one of the hardest things for new piano players AND traditionally trained piano players to get.
Once you learn the Layer Method ways you don’t have to think anymore about what you’re playing. It just happens.
Layer Method student Doug makes my point below:
A quick note concerning “Knowing what notes you are playing.” I play several instruments “by ear” and have made a lot of money doing it. I don’t play music for a living but can boast that I once made just short of 100K total sales in a year from playing music. (The IRS can confirm this for me) I will say that I RARELY know what notes I am playing on any instrument I play. If you hear a great musician you rarely wonder how much he/she knows about music theory. You assume they know it at genius levels. Sometimes the guy knows very little except how to make an instrument sound great when they play it. Sound is all that matters! Doug F.
Unless you are sitting in a concert hall somewhere you’d be surprised how little the musicians on a stage really know about theory.
They are simply playing.
Most learned one song, then another, then another and then all the sudden they are rock stars.
Now you may not want to be a rockstar.
But you might just want to make a piano sound great and enjoy doing it…
… and if thats the case my friend, then you should head over and sign up for the Layer Method.
We have special ways to teach you how to play by ear first, THEN learn some theory (if you want of course, but not necessary)
