Playing by ear means learning to play music just by listening—no sheet music required. You hear it, feel it, and play it. It’s a natural, intuitive way to connect with the songs you love and express yourself through sound. 

 Modern music theory helps students of all ages play by ear using chords—not sheet music. With the Nashville Number System, you’ll learn to recognize and use chord progressions to play thousands of songs across genres like pop, gospel, R&B, and more.

Whether you're creating original music or just want to play with confidence, this approach makes modern music simple, flexible, and creative.
