Learning to play the piano or keyboard by ear is not just an "extra" musical gift for a select few

It's actually an essential skill for every musician that wants to be able to play in any musical situation. The vast majority of piano players play the piano from written sheet music. While reading music is a fantastic skill to acquire on the piano, it takes years of study do well.

Why don't most piano players play by ear? The simple reason is that down through the years there has been no piano lessons curriculum available that could teach piano lessons students how to play without the need to refer to sheet music.

However, "Pattern Piano and Keyboard", the piano lessons course demonstrated on this website is a well thought out, step-by-step plan that will teach you to learn to play any song by ear on the piano or the keyboard. However, even though this piano lessons course is a very thorough musical education, it's also the fastest method available to the piano lessons student who wants to understanding music and play by ear on the piano. A bit of clarification - although this piano lessons course is a fast-track method of musical study, it's not a "shortcut course" that will simply teach you "tricks" on the piano.
