Over the course of her years of teaching, Doris has discovered a number of unique approaches to piano instruction, which have been drawn from (and validated with) her experience with many hundreds of students and their individual challenges and triumphs. She's called the result "The Merritt Method."
Play it by Ear teaches you:
- Step-by-step how to really listen to a pitch, and then find that note on the piano
- How to hear and play the melody
- How to identify the rhythm
- What to do with your left hand to establish and keep the beat steady
- How to provide harmony for the song.
