Piano by ear

Piano by ear, by renowned piano pedagogue Lucinda Mackworth-Young, is suitable for beginners through to experienced pianists. 

It teaches how to play the piano by ear in simple steps and improvise with an array of keys and chord patterns, by working through timeless favourites, folk, film, Christmas and contemporary songs. It also encourages an understanding of how music works from the inside out for any level of player. 

Piano by ear was shortlisted for ‘Best Print Resource’ at the 2016 Music Teacher Awards for Excellence.

“a wonderful book: well-structured, easy-to-follow, well-paced, and with high quality presentation from Faber Music...the pedagogical framework that Mackworth-Young has put together is so well thought through. That underlying structure is an extremely valuable contribution to creative pedagogy. As such, Piano By Ear is more than a method book; it shows us how to teach better. Recommended.” Garreth Brooke, pianocreativity.com
