A 90mins PBE workshop that we have kept everyone waiting for. What are the advantages of playing by ear? You can play any song by ear. But what are the disadvantages? You better know the song. Since the year we started in 2003, we have been in this debate of whether which is more important – the ability to play by ear or reading notes? Though both are important, we have a better answer to this question. If you are only allowed to choose either one, which would you pick? Click here ► for more information.
