In this lesson the student will learn an intermediate level solo of “You’ve Got a Friend,” by James Taylor, without using any music or print. This arrangement is fully demonstrated with backing tracks and then taught in two- to four-measure sections completely “by ear.” At the end of the lesson the backing tracks are provided again without the piano on them for the student to use for their own live performance.

About the author
Bill Brown Jr.
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.View all by Bill Brown Jr.
