Christmas is a special time of year for many people. The season has its own class of songs. Christmas carols are always well-received, since they evoke feelings of joy and goodwill. Playing Christmas carols is usually done on the piano. Sometimes, players would prefer to learn and play by ear, since they do not get many chances to play it around the year.

Jermaine Griggs, president of HearandPlay.com and GospelKeys.com, aims to help those who want to play Christmas carol music by ear. He is a skilled and experienced piano player and teacher. Through Christmas Keys, he intends to share the methods to playing by ear.

Christmas Keys: The Components

Hear and Play Chords: Actual Customer Feedback

Many have used Hear and Play Chords, and the following are portions of some testimonials:

“I have been playing for 40 years and have not had many lessons. These keyboard courses are the most organized method to getting a well rounded keyboard education. There is no substitute for these courses.”

Dan Naimowicz, on www.hearandplay.com

“I thought I had a decent grasp on music theory after having played guitar for 13 years. I tried my best to apply this knowledge to the piano when I decided to learn to play. But after one night (literally) of taking your lessons, my understanding of chord structures and my playing ability was revolutionized.”

Robby Hunter, on www.hearandplay.com

“I am so very ecstatic about Hear and Play™! Hear and Play™ is a wonderful company! Jermaine Griggs is absolutely a genius, teaching people all over the country how to play gospel music on the keyboard, by ear! I think it’s phenomenal!”

Hear and Play Chords: Final Word

The piano is said to be the mother of all instruments, and only the best pianists can maximize the beauty and power of this magnificent instrument. There is no substitute for practice, but getting started right will improve potential and actual skills dramatically. The added advantage of taking courses like this is the replay ability of the recordings – something you can’t do with a live instructor. The two courses usually sell for $33 and $37 separately. The current bundle offer reduces this cost significantly, with the entire 4-disc package priced at just under $40. This looks to be a great bargain, and even comes with a money-back guarantee, if only to sweeten an already saccharine deal.
