À propos de ce cours
This course is designed for musicians who want to break free from sheet music and start playing music directly from what they hear. You’ll build essential aural skills, connect musical theory with practical playing, and learn to understand music in a more intuitive, hands-on way.
In this class, you’ll learn how to:
• Understand chords and scales in a clear, practical way
• Recognize melodies and play them by ear
• Identify common song forms without memorizing rules
• Build full arrangements step by step using your ears, hands, and voice
The class is tailored for intermediate-level musicians who want to develop real musical instincts. Whether you're a pianist, songwriter, producer, or simply someone who loves to jam, this class will help you approach music from a place of curiosity and confidence.
There’s no sheet music. No theory overload. Just your ears and your creativity. You’ll train your musical memory, explore sound by listening deeply, and build the tools to confidently figure out songs by ear.
By the end of this course, you'll not only understand how music works but be able to use that knowledge in real-world musical situations.

Hi! My name is Arni Gudjonsson. I'm a musician from Iceland, now living in Barcelona. I've been performing and recording music since a young age. Over the years, I've studied both classical and jazz piano and earned a degree in music composition.
But the tool I rely on the most--something I use almost every single day as a musician--was never taught in any of the countless music classes I took: playing by ear.

That's why I want to change it. I'm not saying there aren't music teachers out there who teach this skill, but I don't believe it's part of standard music education. Sure, most music schools include ear training, but this goes beyond identifying intervals or chords. This is about learning to actu... Voir le profil complet
Projet de cours pratique
Your project for this class is to apply the listening and playing techniques you've learned to a short song of your choice.
Choose a song that inspires you. Using only your ears, your voice, and your instrument, try to:
• Identify the key of the song
• Find the basic chords by ear
• Recognize the melody and play it
• Understand the song’s structure
You don’t need to write anything down or use sheet music - the goal is to train your ear and rely on what you hear and feel.
Once you’ve figured it out, record yourself playing the song (or a section of it) and upload it as your project. If you're comfortable, include a few notes about your process what worked, what challenged you, and what surprised you.
This is a hands-on course, so your project is really about exploration. Think of it as proof that you’re learning to think and play like a musician who listens first.
