Any musician who’s dared to master the piano or keyboard has had to deal with some of the challenges associated with learning scales, chords and music theory. Some acquire these skills and become the envy of their friends while others tinker around until they learn how to play piano by ear.

For musicians in the latter group, piano lessons like those offered by Hear and Play have become quite popular. According to Jermaine Griggs, the creator of Hear and Play, users can quickly and easily learn to play any song by ear.

Does Hear and Play Really Work?

The sales pages that offer Hear and Play products make some pretty bold claims, but you have to wonder if they really add up.

In the introductory course, Secrets to Playing Piano by Ear, Jermaine claims to cover beginning techniques, music theory, chords, progressions, unique improvisation and more.

Here’s what a few real users had to say about their experience with Hear and Play products:

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. I had very limited results. But after one night (literally) of taking your lessons, my understanding of chord structures and my playing ability was revolutionized. Thanks Hearandplay!

Jermaine has cleaned the window to my mind of understanding. I now pick out chord progressions in songs just by hearing them.

After years someone has given ear trained musicians the resource they need to truly play by ear. Thanks Hear and Play!

My name is Charles Shelton Jr., and I’ve been playing keys for about 10 years now. This site has really helped me out a lot by various lessons and being able to learn the newest songs out on the market. Especially with the virtual chord finder that is a major help if you can’t read music.
Especially, being a world renowned drummer it helps so I can help write keyboard parts. A lot of you all have probably seen me on the Word Network. I’ve been on shows like the Charles Shelton Jr. show on the Word Network, Dr. Bobby Jones Show, Pax Network, Sky Angel, as well as touring and doing clinics in many different cities. I also have an instructional Gospel Drumming Dvd that I have for sale for all ages.

Jermaine Griggs is a blessing. Being a promoter and endorser of different products, I don’t advertise or endorse just anything.

Hello! My name is Dante Smith, and one day I was looking online for something to help me learn the Piano. Well, I found it!!

Hear & Play has taken my piano skills to another level. I have only been playing for 6 months.
I never had any training at all, but by just following along with all the lessons, I have awoken something in me that I thought I didn’t have.

To keep it short & sweet, I would recommend this website to anyone who truly wants to learn basic music theory. Last but not least, it’s all up to you. If you want to learn to play the piano, this is the perfect tool and while you’re at it join the community that Mr. Griggs has created and surprise your family with this great gift of Music that you thought you didn’t have.
