This modern neo-classical piece by the French composer Yann Tiersen is a clever piece which builds upon a recurring pattern in the left hand. The four sections continuously develop the themes until, by the end of the piece, you have been carried on a musical adventure while never leaving the underpinning sea of the left hand’s repeating pattern. The lesson starts with a full demonstration of the song followed by a detailed “by ear” lesson demonstrating and explaining every phrase and note of the song. This is a fast way to learn this moving piece while memorizing it at the same time.

Bill Brown began teaching music when he was in middle school alongside his mother, who was a respected classical piano teacher (Piano Teacher’s Guild Hall of Fame Recipient). In the mid 1980s he started recording lessons for his students to take home to learn “by ear.” He discovered that learning songs without any print or video helped his students develop their ability to pick out other songs “by ear” as well. The By Ear catalogue has rapidly expanded till now it includes over 1400 song lessons for more than a dozen instruments. Brown resides in South Georgia with his wife, also a music teacher, where he teaches and records lessons in his own private recording studio.
