The Hear and Play Chords program is presented as two packages. The first, Hear and Play Chords 101, is a 2-disc package with two hours of recorded instruction. It covers chord classes, play techniques, and triads. The second package is Hear and Play Chords 102, a 2-hour, 2-disc set. It goes into more depth about seventh chords and more advanced chords. Hear and Play also offers substantial discounts when buying both packages together.

Jermaine Griggs, president of HearandPlay.com and GospelKeys.com, offers his services to aspiring musicians. He promises to start the player off from scratch and bring him or her up to a pro-like level of skill. Learning his way, he claims, can give one the ability to play chords by ear – you only need to hear it to play it. This means you can play any piano piece by just listening coupled with a little practice.

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!”

Vickie Winans, Grammy® Nominated Gospel Artist, on www.hearandplay.com

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.
