Thread Name: Playing by Ear?
Subject: RE: Playing by Ear?
My wife reads music so I get her to play what's written when I need to "get at" a new piece that I don't have a recording of.
Usually about ten minute later she's telling me to slow down!
In fact she learns by ear as well as from the dots but when using them has to have the dots there in front of her until she has thoroughly "heard" herself play it in order to later play it without the dots.
