    Thanks for the video. It still takes allot of practice with ear training-relative pitch to be somewhat good at it. Some people get it quicker than others. Also you eventually need the knowledge of the 12 key signatures-scales-interval studies, and also chords and their structures. Common Key signatures are C, G, and F are the simplest.
    The song you demonstrated is also similar to "Joy to the World" where it is a walk down the major scale.

    I do a lot of ear training also, I do it by interval patterns over chords, I don't reference the key. For example, a 1 3 4 7 over a C7 chord with be notes C E F Bb, 1 3 4 7 over an A7 chord will be A C# D G. The pattern is exactly the same and your ear gets trained to hear that pattern, knowing the key signature is not relevant with this method. The key signature helps you when you are improvising, but remembering melodies is better done this way. Eventually, your fingers just fall on the melody notes without having to think about it. With this method, melodies are relative to chords, the absolute value of the notes is not important. Songs become very easy to transpose this way, you simply change the chords, the melody doesn't need changing because they are reference numbers, not absolute note values.

    I have just started to learn the piano, I am a beginner over 40 years old and I like how you explain the piano and the notes through the piano, so I understand them better, but please, when you make another video, you can talk to me because I can barely translate the words and a Thank you again for the explanation, I like it

    A nice breakthrough tip for me. Just sing the scale till I find the note! So much easier than identifying intervals from memory! Of course interval training is also great… but baby steps!

      I think it's good to have a bunch of approaches because different techniques suit different situations. If it works, it's good.

      Glad to hear it helped! "Singing" the scale (whether it's out loud or in your head) is still part of interval training, it's just "showing your work" like when you learned subtraction in school and the teacher insisted you show how you "carry the 1" even if you could do it in your head, haha.

    I find that sight readers struggle because they forget they're an ear rookie and their expectations of themselves are too high because they compare their progress against their reading skills or against ear players who have been doing it for years.
    Also, my sax tutor thought he was "cheating" because he was using his knowledge to help guide his playing. He'd say that yet our warm-up was riff ping-pong which meant he had no idea what I'd play so he must have been doing that by ear. It's the result that counts so bringing knowledge to it is perfectly valid.
    My tip is to spend lots of time playing along with recorded music - starting with very easy stuff.
    Final point is to learn the sounds properly - particularly scales. Break free from those "all the scales in all the keys" books. A harmonic minor is a harmonic minor and once you know what it sounds like, you already know it in all the keys - the only tricky thing is the fingering.

    Tim,. You explained things so clearly and simple that this dummy mastered the song even tho I don't like her song it made my brain click in the right direction ⬇️⬆️⬇️⬆️! I hope you do more famous POP songs like Keane, cold play,. One republic, etc. I am looking forward in your next lessons and being your piano lights up and you have music 🎵🎶🎶🎶 🎵 notes pop up to follow this is very helpful! Cannot go wrong! I will become a super genius sooner or later! Thanks much for this video! Just don't change the method! 🙏🔥🙏🔥🙏

      @@PianoGeniusCom Tim I agree with you that it was STILL helpful even tho I didn't like the song... It is the WAY you teach that shakes my brain realizing what I have had been missing!!! I did enjoy your lesson here very much.. Carry on with your methods... It was wonderful. 😊🤣🤣😊

    it gets even easier when you consider the tonal relationship of the 5th and how easy it is to hear. Then you just split the chromatic scale in half. Then the 3rd gets easy followed by the fourth and 6ths. It doesn't take very long. It took me personally longer to nail semitones vs whole tones in music using other modes than the major and harmonic minor scales
