Here are the 4 steps on how to play piano by ear.
1. Determining the melody - Melodies determine what chords will be
played. If you can use your ear to figure out what notes are being played in
the melody, you are 1/4 on your way to learning the song.

is time to harmonize it. This is simply choosing various chords to accompany
the melody. There are several techniques and tricks to doing this.

3. Altering Piano Chords - This is the best part! Now that you have
strategically figured out the melody to a song and have harmonized it, altering
your chords to produce certain sounds is the next step. If you were playing
gospel music, you would alter your chords differently than if you were playing
classical or country music.

Personal Recommendation: I personally recommend "The Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear" 300-pg Course
and through my relationship with Jermaine, (the author of this course), I've
been able to get him to throw in a few bonus items (3 additional piano software
programs). He has taught literally thousands of musicians how to play the piano
by ear. If you understood just half of what he discussed above, you'll definitely
benefit from his 300-pg course. I highly recommend "The Secrets to Playing Piano By Ear".
