Playing with the ear is the ability of an instrumental musician to reproduce parts of the music they have heard, without ever observing other musicians playing it or viewing sheet music notes. This is the most common way to learn to play musical instruments in cultures and music that do not use musical notation, such as early Blues guitarists and pianists, Romanian fiddlers and folk music guitarists. Outside of Suzuki's method, playing with the ears is less common in Western Classical music. In this musical tradition, instrumentalists learn new pieces by reading music notation. Classical students learn how the music notation with ears during the "ear training" course that is a standard part of conservatory music programs or lectures and by using SolfÃÆ'¨ge.

Learning music through the ears is done by repeatedly listening to other musicians, either live performances or sound recording of their song, and then trying to recreate what people hear. This is how people learn music in any musical tradition that does not have full music notation. Audience involves hearing the sound mentally, albeit at a different level than just "listening to a song in someone's head". The voice reproducing skill involves being able to hear and recognize the rhythm mentally, notifying intervals between notes and reference notes in melody, playing certain intervals between melody and bass tones (usually interval 1, 3 or 5 under melody), and play the tone of a certain chord based on the given bass notes (for example, notes on 1, 3, and 5 intervals above the bass notes). In the West, ear learning is associated with folk music, blues, rock, and jazz. But many forms of classical music throughout the world have no notation and hence been passed down from generation to generation by ear.
