The Oido (listening)

"Oido" is a spanish word meaning "ear". But this word is also being used in voice lesson and other music lessons. The term "Oido" in voice lesson means listening to a tune and copying the tune that you hear and projecting it through voice. So, if someone is singing out of tune, it means that he or she have a bad oido or bad ear(its not really the throat or vocal cords that have a problem). In order to get the right tune in singing, you should listen first. A good singer is a good listener.

This video is an example of Oido-ing. I can't read music sheet for piano. I just listen to music and try to play it. To be honest though, I regret not learning piano lessons. True, I play, but not as good as the pros and you can tell the difference. I am jealous of my brothers. They're both a good piano player. They uses both oido and music sheet. I feel kind of late for me to learn piano lesson and be as good as them.

But no matter what, I'm glad that I have the gift of listening just like every other musicians. And listening is the key to becoming a good musician. It's kind of late for me to learn music sheet, but it's never too late. Thanks to the power of oido.
