This a great platform for aspiring keyboard players, but be ready work and make a true commitment to learning and practicing. I gain a lot from hear and play music. But my time won’t let me do as I should. Overall this is a game changer for everyone learning play the piano.

My foundation of playing the keyboard by ear started with Hear and Play Music.

Compared to other online music instruction, there's too much talk. Pianio with Jonny is the best. So little talking, they get right into it. The result is faster learning and more enjoyable learning. I really like gospel, but there is too much talking with Hear and Play.

Hi and thanks for your review. While it depends on the products you may have purchased from us, our true goal is to create understanding and we cannot achieve this without teaching theory. Many of our students want to play in charismatic, dynamic environments that include having to know a song in all 12 keys --- situations that include praise, worship, periods of jubilee and shouting. It's not something that can be merely taught with mimicry. Teaching chords by memory can get someone through a song but many rely on us to get through a church service that is not planned in the way a concert might be. However, with this in mind, we understand that preferences of teaching will vary from person to person. We're glad you found a solution that works for you. Thanks for your repeat business between 2010 and 2015 and all the best.

Too many questions. The application form to apply for music lessons. Was ridiculous . Why was it so difficult? I could not even complete it.

Hi Deborrah, thanks for your review. As you were applying to discuss our highest level of service (the VIP Coaching Program), it does require a stringent application. Unfortunately, your review would be akin to me rating a school low because it was difficult for my son or daughter to get into. Kindly reconsider your 2-star rating in lieu of focusing on the many helpful materials we provided prior to this most recent application experience. Thank you for your business over the years and all the best.
