Publisher Description
In this lesson the student learns an early intermediate arrangement of this love ballad made famous by The Commodores. At the beginning of the lesson there is a full demonstration of the arrangement with the backing tracks. Next, the song is taught in two to four measure sections “by ear” using no music, print, or video. At the end of the lesson the tracks are given again without the solo piano on them so that they may be used by the student for their own live performance of the song.

About Bill Brown
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.
