    For months and months, years and years, you've been asking... how do you arrange these songs so quickly, how do you know what notes to play, how do you... etc. So here I am. I'm going to show you guys how I listen to a song for the first time and learn it by ear and have the arrangement done in a short amount of time.

Can you do a pop lesson series on patterns and such?

      To do this you don't need to have perfect pitch, you just need relative pitch, which is something everyone can learn and develop with practice. This is the result of years of ear training and practice! Practice enough and one day you'll be able to do it too!

    • @komperakompera2190
      @komperakompera2190 4 года назад +8

      If you think that sounds like mozart you dont understand music. But the reason why it sounds like mozart to you is because all music is very similar to each other in essence. There are "external" factors that make it seem like different types of music are lightyears away from each other. But if you take those away you will see that from a purely theoretical point of view they are "close" of course this is all relative. And some people might argue the opposite however in this context the former definitely applies.
      But from a pure music theory point of view this is far apart from mozart obviously. the chord progression is very basic. Mozarts harmonic and melodic complexity is obviously far beyond that.

    I've been keeping up with u since 2k16 if im not wrong. I used to only play classical music which was something that took a toll on me and made me lose my passion for the piano. You were a huge inspiration for me to start trusting my ears and experiment with songs that i trully liked so i started by playing by ur sheets and slowly start to freestyle my own paino arrangements, not necessarily by writing but even playing them by ear was enough for me to get my "fire" for the instrument back. So thank you a lot and keep up the great work. Much love!
