How to Play Music by Ear - From the Basics to Fluency - Part 3 - Harmony/Chords

What You Will Learn?

• In this course I will be taking you through a series of listening exercises and examples of how to listen, and discover how to discern chords and harmony in general. As with the Melody course, we will start with very simple songs to give you the tools and confidence to play music freely while listening and understanding why and what music is. I will also introduce the idea of playing in different keys and the overall function of chords, why we use them, which chords sound good together and how melody and harmony work together..
• There is no requirement of previous experience with music or music lessons. This course can also be very effective for music students who have only ever played music by reading sheet music..
• What will students learn in your course:.
• This course is part of a 4 part series teaching you how to play music by ear. In this course I will be speaking specifically about rhythm, getting your body and mind in synch with rhythm and how to play a couple rhythm instruments.  Parts 2 and 3 will focus on Melody and Harmony.  These courses can be taken without the rhythm component (part 1), but of course the more you know the easier it all becomes. In Part 4 - Song Discovery, we will be using all we have learned in the previous 3 courses (rhythm, melody, harmony) and putting it together to learn songs by ear..
• I have included a video which talks about a group of 4 classes which will be available on Skill Share..
