How To Play No Air by Alex Kusey on Piano

Filed under: Yamaha Keyboards 

today i desided to teach you guys how to play “No Air” By Jordin Sparks and Chris Brown. I did my best to learn this song by ear. i know its not exactly the same, but its pretty close. Please feel free to comment if you have any questions, or if you want to improve on my video (example ” i think it sounds beter if you play this note instead of that note”, etc.) i will be more than happy to answer any questions that you might have.

If there is any song that you want me to teach let me know, i will learn it and teach it as fast as i possibly can.

Thanks to unpiccolojabberwocky, i have notes writin out for you advantage. here they are

    12. Good job! My mom’s a pianist and she also works by ear too. I can’t do it so it helps to have little tutorials.

    I’d say be sure you say the right keys.. there were a lot of “f”s for “f sharps” an such.

    And also.. I kind of annotated it… so heres the copy i wrote down. Minus the chords.

    I’ll recomment it.. you can totally delete it if you want.. I just thought it’d help out for people who can’t read music or visualize it.

    Again, great job. Thanks.
    & can you do Brick by Ben Folds Five?
