The support and patience from the coaches is top tier! The flexibility the replays offer: being able to replay classes missed is awesome too. I love the live classes but unfortunately, I have a very busy schedule so I’m often unable to catch them in real time. Really enjoyed my time with the Hear and Play family 😊

It was the best experience ever! A lot of work, but it paid off. The Coaches were very supportive and helpful. I enjoyed the preparation and count down for the days. I was very impressed by the way it was prioritized. It will forever remain in my memory.

I liked and enjoyed the way... I think his name is Tyler (the vanilla brother) taught the music class, if I continue the classes I would love to have him be my teacher. All you guys are good teachers, I just liked his style of teaching.

I’ve always felt like there was something I was missing. I took classical piano. I never understood the chords. But I was able to teach a guitar player to play the pianos because he understood the chords. But he couldn’t explain it to me. Thanks Coach Tyler.

Hi MilFriend, thank you so much for taking the time to write. I was a classical musician too and I appreciate how HearandPlay filled in the gaps for me! Keep on keeping on.
