  to learn to read music.I got any music I could find and played songs by looking at notes.The problem was that I couldn't play any piece of music if I didn't look at notes.

  I had always thought that playing the piano by ear was reserved for a few select pianists who were born with the gift.However, what a pianist told me changed my opinion.One day, I went to a concert.Luckily,after the concert, I could talk with the pianist for a while.He told me that everyone could play the piano by ear if he or she tried hard enough.He meant that to learn to play the piano by ear, I would have to practice it.

  So I started playing jingles (短曲) from advertisements.Before long, I was able to pick out simple tunes of songs that were very familiar to me, and even to add accompaniments (伴奏).When I started practicing playing by ear, I also realized that my sight of reading skills improved greatly.It's because rather than reading every note, I was able to put my fingers where they should be according to the feel of the music.

  Remember,you can learn to play the piano by ear, too.
