Title: I&#x27;m learning the harmonium (a middle Eastern instrument, similar to an accordion). I&#x27;m teaching myself and I want to be able to play by ear. I can play a few tunes, and can slowly work things out by trial and error and <i>some</i> intuition.<p>I want to know what it feels like to be able to play an instrument without needing so much trial and error. How do those that can play &quot;fluently&quot; know which keys to press? How long does it take to get to that level of fluency?<p>I&#x27;m hoping that by understanding the mindset of someone who has achieved that level, I can have something to aim for when I&#x27;m practicing.<p>Thanks :)
