I think it's a rip off....play by ear ..depends you have good ears or not.

Last time my music teacher once told me, some people are tone deaf, if you got talent, can learn play by ears very easily.

Me, i will suggest you save your money, go to a normal class and then learn to play by ears by watching some youtube videos. i saw some pretty good ones before.

I sometimes do play by ear...although the result not so fancy as a professional scores, but at least i get some simple results. Besides, you just improvise from there to make the song nicer once you get the basic of a song.

This is a bit late in coming but I just stumbled onto this. I just happen to know my schoolmate who, without any knowledge of music, went for the Play By Ear course and within 1 year, she sat for her Grade3 LCM exam and passed with distinction. Next year, she at for Grade 5 and Grade 6 the year after that.

You bet I was amazed. It normally takes 4 years to go for Grade 3!

I went for music lessons the conventional way and my parents have spent easily more than RM8000 for that 4 years compared to RM2250 you mentioned which my friend completed less than 1 year. I also hated my lessons. It's no fun. I was so envious of her having so much fun not to mention how much time she saved -3 years!

In that respect, 2250 vs 8000+ is peanuts lah if you include saving 3 years of hardship.

On top of that, my friend's mother decided on it because of the Money Back Guarantee.

When you mentioned "no testimonial", I got curious and did a search. I saw a lot of testimonials. What do you mean, "no testimonials"? Did you miss something?
