How
to Play Music by Ear
- M. Emett Wilson
Everyone can play by ear. Some can go farther than others.
Unfortunately, no one has ever attempted to teach serious music
students to depend upon their ears as much as possible. Eventually
the ear player reaches his limit and must use notation to study
music further; but this limit is much broader than is generally
supposed. Moreover, our musical horizon-our limit of
comprehension-is not far beyond this point where the ear must yield
to rational machinery for guidance.
Everyone can play by note. Some can go farther than others. In any
event, musical comprehension is expected to accompany this note
playing. But eventually the note player reaches his limit. He will
do well to investigate what ear playing can contribute to his
further progress.
When we learn to talk, either in our mother tongue or in a foreign
language, we do not all begin with the same words. We learn most
easily the words which have to do with our chief interests.
Similarly, in playing by ear the student should follow his own
inclinations rather than the order of this book. One does not need a
text to learn to speak a language which he is hearing several hours
every day; but a grammar and a dictionary are a great help. One does
not need a text to play music which he is hearing on radio and
records several hours each day; but this book will help. The ear
player must practice, just as the note player must practice; but the
practice need not be drudgery. The most effective practice consists
in having a good time with the instrument.
May this book be a guide to many good times with your instrument.
Work comes complete with source in
word doc format as well as pdf version.
