A art of hearing a melody or chord progression (song) and reproduce it without needing the written music.
The real goal is to Play by Ear.
Learning music by ear is done by repeatedly listening to other musicians and then attempting to recreate what one hears. This is how people learn music in any musical tradition in which there is no complete musical notation. Many people in cultures which have notation still learn by ear and ear training, often through a musicianship course at a music conservatory or college, is common practice among those who use notation extensively.
I've emphasize the attempting in the first sentence above. With a little pre knowledge of the principles of music the attempting can simply be recreating.
Don't get "Playing by Ear" and "Learning by Ear" mixed up. It is hit and miss to try and learn by ear. You need to train your ear and brain to understand what is going on in order to play by ear.
For now start with training you ear to identify and sing melodic intervals.
