I truly enjoy the lessons. However, Im having a difficult time catching the passing chords, as well as the scales for each chord.

I am a classically trained pianist. I had wanted to learn to play gospel music by ear for a very long time. I discovered the VIP Coaching Program 3 years ago in 2023 and I'm so happy that I did. My teacher, Dr. Onye, is a fantastic musician and a gifted educator. He makes the most complex theoretical concepts easy to understand and implement and the Coaching Staff is highly knowledgeable and always available to assist you. If you are searching for a program that teaches you to play by ear, look no further.

Hear and Play Music (i.e. Gospel Flow) provides a learning community and structure necessary for the serious study of Gospel piano; furthermore, the embedded resources are invaluable - well worth the investment! Sophronia Smith (student since 9/17/2026)
