Can't read Music
on: September 28, 2010, 01:43:29 AM
So I'm 15. I started playing piano when i was 9. Never taken a lesson in my life. My mom bought be a keyboard that taught you the songs, after i learned Fur Elise Greensleeves and a few others I upgraded to a grand piano. So now when I'm learning a song, depending on the simplicity I can fiddle with the piano and kearn it by ear. When i get to more complicated songs, I resort to youtube for a tutorial video. Except... There is this song Baba Yetu
I love this song, but I lack the ability to play a piece like this by ear or read music. I can't find a video on it either. I need help, any strategies on learning it? Or is someone generous enough to post a tutorial video? This is one of my favorite songs to be played on a piano and I can't learn it.

You might want to take some lessons, learn to read music.
Or look more into jazz piano and chords. That might help to break down music like the link you posted.
