I don’t want to be a concert pianist, but would rather be able to someday be able to play by ear or improvise while reading sheet music. I’ve started playing this scale I found online everyday and have noticed some improvement in my hand coordination. (Hanon 1) I believe that is which it is. My main goal is to be able to read sheet music, improv a little, and be able to play stuff by ear.
I just don’t have the money to hire a teacher right now being in college. My college also doesn’t offer any piano classes either.
So I was wondering what are some good exercises or videos of exercises that I can use to try and learn how to read sheet music, play by ear, better my coordination, and just become a better piano player overall.
Thanks for any help or suggestions

The way i play a song on piano by ear is to play the chords on my left hand and the melody on my right hand. But it gets reallly repetitive and boring when i play the same pattern over and over on the left hand. For example, if the chord progression was C/G/A/F then my left hand would play CEGE/GBDB/ACEC/FACA. haha sorry if that’s confusing. i know you can vary it by playing the first note of the chord, then playing the next two simultaneously, or different inversions of the chord, but it still sounds really boring…how do people make it so that you can’t really detect the chord progression right away in the song and make it interesting?
sorry if this question doesn’t make sense…:)

I know some people who listen to music and can make ridiculous interpretations of it on the piano, but i’m stuck reading notes. I was just wondering if it was possible to train yourself to play the piano by ear, and if so how hard is it and how long does it take.

Thank you for your answers.
