Q. How is watching professional pianists play the piano good for people who are beginners & want to learn to read music & play the piano?
A. A lot of what a professional pianist does will be far too fast for the human eye to catch. Far better to sit at a piano and find out what works and what doesn't. Piano lesson number one. A "C" chord contains C, E & G in any order with a C bass (playing a G or E bass under the C chord creates well known combinations you're ear will recognise). An "F" chord contains F, A & C with an F bass and A and C basses played underneath having similar effects to those described above. A "G" chord has G, B & D and again, having a G bass is normal but using a B and a D as a bass note is very common to achieve certain effects.
Learn those three chords, play around with adding other notes until your ear recognises how the combinations can fit together and practise like mad.
If you learn 6 or 7 chords, you'll have the basics to play enough songs to sing along to in the keys of C, F and G (once you add B flat chord and so on).
A C chord with an A bass is an A minor 7th and it's used LOTS. An F chord with a D bass is a D minor 7th and THAT is used lots too.
How long could it take to learn playing on piano songs by hearing them?
Q. I've started piano lessons 2 months ago but i'm doing very well and learning fast! I love playing classical pieces but when do you think i'll be ready to play other famous songs by hearing them?
A. If you want to be able to play any song by hearing it you should practise all the chords. Start with the basics such as C major and G major (1 or 2 sharps and flats) and then go up to the really difficult ones such as A flat minor (3 to 5 sharps and flats). IT takes a long time to develop listening skills but with constant practice, within 3 months or so you should be able to play simple songs by ear. Most pieces are difficult to hear because they change key midway through the song. Playing the chords will help you recognise the key and work your way through the rest of the song from that.
You couls also try transposing some song to a different key for additional practice.
