How To Play By Ear Morris Emett Wilson Harry Robert Wilson 9781258468866 Books
Years ago I took piano lessons and learned to play by note pretty well for an ordinary teen. But over the years I stopped practicing. I still read music as well as ever but no longer have the physical skill at the keyboard that I had attained all those years ago. I don't have the patience to go back and relearn those classics I studied and (more or less) mastered back then. Now, I would like to learn to play just for enjoyment, and have always envied people who could play skillfully 'by ear.' So I bought this book for my Kindle, and read it with great interest. However, it has a major drawback as an e-book: the symbols for various musical terms, such as sharp, flat, augment, diminish, etc., are garbled and the format of charts is scrambled into nonsense. There are many other print errors as well, but these are not as vital to understanding the concepts being explained. Something happened to the material when it was reformatted for digital use, and this makes much of the method incomprehensible.That said, the price of the e-book was minimal and, with the level of skill and understanding of music theory that I retain from all those lessons back in my youth, I can glean a lot of useful information that will help me begin to play by ear, using the chords and exercises set forth in this book, so I do not consider it a waste. Others considering the book, especially those without musical training, may not find it as helpful because of the many errors in print and formatting of charts and diagrams. This would not be a problem in a paperback or hardbound book, so if that's what you're looking for, you might compare the content and price of this book to other choices available. It could be a good choice, one I might have rated 5-stars.

How To Play By Ear Morris Emett Wilson Harry Robert Wilson 9781258468866 Books Reviews
This is a perfect gem of a book for musicians of every kind, but especially for those of us who learned to play a musical intrument by ear. We tend to play multiple instruments and to not be nearly as self-critical as those who learn by reading musical notation. We play for pure enjoyment. This evidently out-of-print book is filled with pleasant surprises, for example when we read that getting polyphony just right produces "probably the most exalted esthetic experience man can achieve" (p. 90).
I hope someone has digitalized this book.
