Welcome to the page. I'm just recording my daily exercises to record my progress and possibly seek areas to improve in my quest to learn how to play by ear.
What you should know before going on: What an opinion is (and isn't). My experiences are subjective, meaning that what works for me (and what doesn't) will not always work (or not) for you.
This isn't just about me, I am just putting my experiences in public view for those who want to know how I got where I am now, and how I got to be where I will be in the future. If you are ever wondering if someone was ever good at what you wanted to be good at, or wondered how they go to be so good at that one thing, these experiences are for you to know about.
Think of it as test driving a car you're thinking about buying, only in this case the car is a specific ear training course you may be thinking about buying that I happen to be trying out, and so on. It also serves as some insight into the things that you yourself can use for your own goal of playing what you hear- we might be sharing the same tools and methods, but use them differently. I believe the more ways you know how to do something, the better prepared you are when a situation arrives in a different manner than you expected. Some things you'll see are solfege/solfeggio, interval training, perfect pitch, and relative pitch.
That said, there will be things I don't use, because I believe they will not assist me in my specific goal. But it doesn't mean I won't talk about them if you're wondering about those methods as well - I don't mind sharing or doing research on other ways to play by ear than what I am personally using for myself, if other people want to know more about those different methods.
With that, know that this is not really a guide, but more of a diary. What I do to play by ear the way I hope to. If you are like me, and want to know how to plan a regimen for yourself, feel free to see how I learn to do it.
