014: Finding the notes yourself, with Sara Campbell (Sara's Music Studio)
About this episode
Have you wished you could play music without needing to look at notes on a page? In this conversation with Sara Campbell, the Resident Pro for piano at Musical U, we explore a variety of ways you can learn to "find the notes yourself".
In this episode we dive deep into how to get started with playing by ear and improvisation. Sara shares insights and specific tips that can be applied on any instrument, not just piano.
She recommends one particular activity you can try today to get started improvising - and the essential warning you'll need to hear if you want it to go well!
And she reveals a powerful way to flip your understanding of the piano keyboard and see it in a whole new way - something that'll be useful for anyone who occasionally dabbles on keyboard, not just devoted piano players.
