Synopsis

This intermediate level arrangement of “America the Beautiful” is a very full-sounding piano piece that is easy to learn “by ear.” The entire arrangement is performed for you to listen to and practice with. Then, the entire song is taught verbally, using no music or print, in two- to four-measure pieces. Now you can learn the “other National Anthem” totally “by ear!”

About Bill Brown

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.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review. Never heard of the poem nor the song, then again not American and not that much interested in such patriotic stuff.
