Re: Read the dots V Play by ear ? -
11-12-2008, 11:03 PM
I have only been playing a couple of years so i can only read sheet music slowly ! So when i am learning a new song i play it from the dots and then memorise it , once i have it in my head i can play it quickly and then i discard the sheet music .. i can play just about every song i have learned without looking at a score .. but i need sheet music to begin with. I do play in different keys but i like to transpose the score to 'C' if i can as i find it easier.
I'm not sure whether this is classed as 'playing by ear'? or just 'playing by memory' ?
I'm now wondering if this method is common as i do find it takes me a long time to learn a new piece but once its there it stays there  .
cheers
