Founded in 2000 by Jermaine Griggs, we have dedicated decades to teaching the dynamic skill of understanding and interpreting music through ear training, music theory, and recognizing patterns.

Our specialized approach teaches students to hear recurring themes in songs and interpret them creatively on the piano.Over the years, we have reached and serviced more than 2 million musicians through various platforms, including YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, our email newsletter, free lessons, comprehensive paid courses, and a personalized coaching program. Our resources are designed to cater to learners at different stages of their musical journey, from beginners to advanced players.Hear and Play Music and the Gospel Music Training Center is more than just a teaching platform; it's a community where musicians come together to share, learn, and celebrate the joy of music.

Truly, an amazing program! Glad I’ve stumbled upon this program. This program had made it so easy for me to grasp and understand the language of music. Thanks hear and play!

The methods used to teach the lessons are easy to understand.

It’s the same thing every time I’ve listened. It’s okay listening to it the first time, but it’s the same information and an infomercial for the classes.
Response from Hear and Play MusicAug 27, 2026
Yes indeed, the public workshop is the same presentation to expose new students to our concepts. Once one joins our actual coaching program or training platform (Gospel Music Training Center), then they can progress through the curriculum. This review would be more fair if you considered the concepts and generosity of the public workshop as if you viewed it for the first time. I hope this clarifies. Thank you.

Love the approach and how we are educated about music theory. Not just about playing chords and progressions but also understanding the Why behind it.

I learned a lot about playing two notes in the left hand 1 and 5 and adding the 2 with 1-3-5 chord in the right hand.
