Hi Heidi,
I would like to ask for some advice on learning a piece of music that doesn’t seem to have any available sheet music.
Specifically, how can one approach learning a song if their ear training is not yet fully developed — meaning it’s difficult to identify every note by ear?
Would it be better to rely on a more practical, trial-and-error approach, or are there structured methods or tools that could help in learning the piece more accurately?For reference, here is the song I’m referring to:

Thank you in advance!

Hi Heidi
Is there any tip for people 🤔 who don’t seem to have a big breath and use what they have economically?
Exercises to increase breath?
What are the best times and places to sneak a breath?
... with out sounding odd.
Many thanks 😊 🙏
