Playing music by ear - how do we succeed? How is that possible to realize? It is an art. For some people it is super easy to catch the right tone and create the song.

Some people start playing music in early ages. It happens most often after they hear some instrument that appears to be the one they like. Also being in contact with music instruments at school can contribute to willing to learn to play music.

How can we succeed with playing music? Not everyone is borned to do that. Sometimes many hours and music lessons are not enough. It simply requires to love music so much so that we dream about playing it. And when we can give it a try with music instrument that we like it can lead to success.

We normally say it is playing music by ear and there are many successful musicians who do so. They have learned basics with notes and they probably understand the notes but they only play by ear.

How is that possible to realize? First of all we have to feel the music and right tone. While listening at orginal sound or song we can try to follow it until we catch the right sound. Afterwards it is easier to continue because we just can build on the rest of the sound or song regardless if it is too complicated or not. It is just a question of time.

For some people it is super easy to catch the right tone and create the desired song and sound. It is important to practice and if we do it often it can go well. Taking breaks is also important. It does not help to continue hour after hour without success because our ears need a break. Playing by ear is an art and we should enjoy it.
