If you are not sure how to start you need to have absolute pitch, or you don't know where to start, you can start by learning how to play by ear,
It may seem very difficult, but just like a musical instrument, if you practice, you will be able to do it.

I think you should start with a simple melody line!
By the way, I can manage to hear the scale of the main melody,
By the way, I can somehow understand the scale of the main melody, but I'm not good at copying chords by ear... I have to listen and practice a lot.
I need to listen a lot and practice.

If I could play the chords by ear, I wouldn't have to buy the score.
I guess that ear copying is saving money, too.

When you play a song by ear, you will listen to it very carefully.
Then, there are many new discoveries to be made.

I liked the vocalist's voice, but the bass line is really cool too! and so on,
I didn't realize the drummer was doing this here! , etc,
You can know the song even deeper.

And when you play by ear, you train your ear,
And when you play by ear, your ear is trained and you learn to hear the sounds around you in ensembles and other situations!
You will be able to have a sense of unity with your surroundings even more than before!

And even more so, what kind of phrases are being used, and the movement of each instrument throughout the song,
By understanding the sound movement of each instrument throughout the song, you will also be able to understand how the phrases are used and how each instrument moves throughout the song,
Furthermore, understanding what kind of phrases are used and the movement of each instrument throughout the song will lead to the techniques of composition and arrangement.

Now, let's start playing by ear!
What to prepare: Instruments and sound sources

All you have to do is imitate the sound source and play the notes.
You can tell if the notes you've copied by ear are right or wrong by playing along with the sound source.
If you think something is weird or uncomfortable, you are wrong! LOL!

Try to explore it note by note or phrase by phrase,
Try playing the sound source in slow motion for the fine rhythmic parts, and so on, and try to listen to it in a creative way!
If it is difficult to immediately replace it with playing an instrument, it will be easier to understand if you try singing it with your mouth first.

Even if you don't have an instrument, you can do it quickly and easily with an app on your cell phone.
It is a convenient age.
