Dear Gospel Musician,

If you're like most people, you probably have a lot going on!

You're busy.

Many things fight for your attention. Heck, it's extremely difficult to stay focused on anything because in any given day, there's just so much to do.

(In fact, never before in history have we had to process as much information as we do today)!

Between the internet, tv, radio, jobs, responsibilities, extra activities, family, church, music ---and I could go on and on ---  your schedule is jammed-pack!

And in all that, some things just get swept under the rug. Sadly, many things YOU really care about too.

YES! Getting to the next level in your gospel piano playing is important to you...

YES! You want to play beautiful worship chords if, for nothing more than your own gratification...

YES! Being able to impress fellow gospel musicians and have ALL EYES ON YOU (...come on, admit it) has crossed your mind...

YES! Having the ability to simply sit at your piano and play beautifully-sounding, contemporary gospel music after a long day of work has been a dream of yours...

YES! You want to be used by God on the piano and play worship music freely from chord to chord with ease.

YES! You want to be able to express what words can't through your spirit-led original music.

YES! You'd like to entertain your family and friends by playing pastime gospel songs you've picked out on the piano...

YES! Your ministry needs you! Your Pastor needs you! You've witnessed several churches without competent musicians and have a strong desire to fill this void at one of them.

(I could literally go on and on)...

"But The Problem Is TIME"

Let's face it.

         TIME.

It's the only thing you can't get back. You can't buy it. You can't borrow it. And everyone gets the same amount of it.

And I'll go out on a limb and say that it's probably the thing stopping you from living your musical dreams.

     "There's just not enough time to put in a few hours per day in practice..."

     "Every time I sit down at the piano, I can't stay focused for more than 20 minutes at a time..."

     "Even if I can get in a good 2-hour practice, I'll skip weeks at a time..."

     "When I do practice, I'm just playing stuff I know so I never progress..."

...but here's the thing:

"Time need not be YOUR problem anymore..."

Listen, we all have the same amount of time.

So why is it that there are musicians who get time on their side while others fall victim to it?

Why are there some musicians who can do in 30 minutes what it takes others 3 hours to accomplish in their practicing?

Why are there some musicians who move at light speed while others turtle their way from song to song?

Because they understand the "20/80" rule and once you understand it, you'll never practice the same way again.

Basically what it says is that 20% of what you do is responsible for 80% of the positive results you get.

     DID YOU JUST HEAR WHAT I SAID?

     Let me repeat myself:

 

"20% of what YOU DO is responsible for 80% of the desired results YOU GET..."

What this means is that the musicians who get phenomenal results don't necessarily practice all day long.

     YES! Practicing is needed!

     YES! It takes hard work and dedication!

This is not what I'm saying.

What I am saying is that it's possible for small things to create BIG effects.

So if you focus the time you DO HAVE on the 20% of things that get 80% of your favorable results, you'll progress far more quickly than someone who does the opposite.

Yup, no joke.

The opposite is just what you think it is...

80% of what YOU DO is responsible for 20% of the desired results you get.

To make it plain. Most things we do in life don't output the results we want. It's the VERY FEW THINGS that create BIG CHANGE.

So forget about "what goes in, comes out." THIS ISN'T TRUE.

Simply put, if you focus on the "20% stuff," you'll get far MORE BACK than what you put in.
 

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can have you playing beautiful worship chords for your own gratification with the same amount of time you have now...
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can have you impressing fellow gospel musicians and FORCING ALL EYES TO BE ON YOU... with the same amount of time you have now!
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can allow you to simply sit at your piano and play beautifully-sounding, contemporary gospel music after a long day of work... with the same amount of time you have now!
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can allow you to play worship music freely from chord to chord with ease... with the same amount of time you have now!
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can get you to the point where you can express what words can't through your spirit-led original music... with the same amount of time you have now!
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can allow you to entertain your family and friends by playing pastime gospel songs you've picked out on the piano... with the same amount of time you have now!
   

• YES! The "little 20% stuff" can have you helping out at a church that needs you in no time... with the same amount of time you have now!

You see, it doesn't take "30 YEARS" to sound like you've been playing for 30 years...

Because that's not how the 20/80 rule works. It basically says that you can get far more back if you focus on the "right part."

If you keep reading, I will show you how to get your hands on the "20% stuff" that will get you majority of the results you've been seeking in HALF THE TIME!

"Here's the secret..."

Are you ready for this?

It's called learning on the go.

See, there's a group of people out there who know the value of time. They know they can't get it back so they figure out ways to maximize their time.

They turn driving in their cars into a learning environment. Instead of blasting the radio like we all enjoy doing, they pop in an instructional cd and use that SAME TIME to constantly learn something new.

People have used learning on the go to master foreign languages... to learn how to invest their money... to learn how to improve their health... they even have narrators read their favorite books to them on the go.

 And in the music world, learning on the go is even more applicable.

    Why?

Because there's also something that happens during the ear-training process that you ONLY get when you're listening.

When you're watching our dvds (and we have many of them), you may feel tempted to rely less on your ear since you can see everything we're doing right on your tv... and there's nothing wrong with that.

But when you're in the car or when you're multitasking while listening to your mp3 player, you are ONLY relying on your ear. It forces you to LISTEN and as you LISTEN more and more, you get better and better.

Not only that, but you're getting regular doses of information on a consistent basis. You're getting the small 20% you need to make 80% of the results you want!

With that said, you're certainly in store for a treat because I've invited one of the hottest west coast gospel musicians around to share his PHAT urban chords and progressions with you in our ALL-NEW GospelKeys Urban Pro 625 Audio Series.

"Introducing (Again) My Good Friend, Mr. Jonathan Powell..."

Jonathan Powell has played for and with everyone! Out here on the west coast, he's known for his uncanny ability to form two-hand chord voicings with his signature "slide techniques" (... don't worry, he shows you all of this, step-by-step)!

He's performed with a countless number of gospel artists, groups, choirs, producers, and more. He was highly sought after and practically recruited to come to Hear and Play Music in 2005 and has been a blessing to our company ever since.

He's the lead moderator of the HearandPlay^TM Zone, our musician community and also the head music consultant in our training department. When he's not helping thousands of musicians from the community, he's traveling around the world playing for various artists! I trust no other person over him to deliver fresh, practical, easy-to-understand techniques and principles to playing urban, west coast gospel music by ear!

As a company, Hear and Play Music serves over 274,000 musicians from all around the world and supplies over 1.5 million pages of online piano lessons each and every year! Over 40,000 students rely on our paid courses to teach them cutting-edge techniques without having to pay hundreds -or- even thousands of dollars in classes and private lessons.

"Who Else Is Ready to Be Taken Under The Wings of A Seasoned Professional, And Taught Step-by-Step The In's And Out's of Playing Contemporary Music ---- ALL BY EAR?"

• Shave literally months or even years off your practice time by applying our revolutionary number system approach to your contemporary gospel playing. 
   

• Learns the secret about major scales that most top musicians use in their urban gospel playing but never want to talk about.
   

• Understand the underlying similarities and differences between the 3 most popular types of seventh chords used in urban playing and how to place them in a way you'd never imagine!
   

• Eliminate boring "put-you-to-sleep" chords and replace them with full-sounding PHAT chords (over 57 of them) that are guaranteed to turn heads each and every time!

"Get a world-class urban gospel music education on the go!"

• "Individualize" your style and set yourself apart from the pack by utilizing tons of extended chords and two-hand voicings that are only known by a few (he's risking his reputation by giving away these secrets). 
   

• Learn the secrets to building fancy minor seventh chords for use in contemporary worship settings (....this is extremely important and will have you sounding several times better the minute you implement them).
   

• Find out the secrets to the "7th tone" and when to lower it. Between the 3rd and 7th tones of your chords lie many secrets that allow you to instantly manipulate almost any chord to produce the sound you want!
   

• Contemporize your playing by adding loads of PHAT urban chords to the mix (...Staying current and keeping up with the times is unfortunately something that many musicians fail to do. DON'T be one of them).

"The Cat is Out the Bag!"

• Develop left hand tricks that are sure to give you a much more full and richer sound... no matter what chord you're on!
   

• Capture anyone's attention with just one of Jon's "sweeeeeeet" chords! He personally calls these his "turn-a-head" chords. Play some of these and others will know a professional is in the building!
   

• Discover highly-used (but rarely talked about) "unofficial shortcuts" that allow you to add "good" dissonance and tension to your playing at the right time. Believe it or not, having a certain level of dissonance present is good when you know how and where to incorporate it.
   

• Implement a host of simple tricks that are guaranteed to instantly add that well-known west coast flavor to your playing (like Jason White and Mike Burrell, some of Jon's personal mentors).

Tons of Chords To Add To Your Playing... NOW!

• How to master the art of passing chords so that your chord progressions and songs never sound dull or "predictable." As you'll learn in the course, the goal is to be "unpredictable." That's when you know you've arrived.
   

• Create TONS of full-sounding chords by using a minimal amount of notes.
  Many people think that every finger on your right hand must be occupied to produce "full-sounding" chords but this isn't always the case! The key is the left hand.
   

• Master over 13 two-hand chord voicings (of many) that can be spotted in some of the hottest gospel hits today!
   

• Maximize the many ways these contemporary urban chords can be played by inverting them. For example, one hand may remain the same while the other is inverted. Once you get this trick, you can add it to virtually any chord pattern you know.
   

• And much more...

Introducing THE Audio Course That Contemporary Gospel Musicians Can't Afford to Miss Out On!

 

For the first time ever, Jonathan Powell sits down in the studio and records everything he knows about playing contemporary, urban-styled gospel music by ear!

What's more, you can expect not only to hear super phat chords and nice-sounding progressions in this 2-hour audio course, but he really takes his time and breaks everything down... STEP-BY-STEP and in an instructional format!

Our company philosophy is to "teach," first and foremost before anything else. We hate those courses that are just "CONCERTS" and a way for musicians to show off. While they are surely inspirational, they often times lack substance.

Not here!

With that said... you get the best of all worlds. The "how," the "when," and the "why."

 

So if you're like many who have benefited significantly from our past courses, then you'll definitely take a lot away from this 2-hour audio course.

Also... you won't have to worry about seeing chords that you've already learned in past GospelKeys fundamental courses as you'll be exploring a whole new approach to looking at two-handed chord formations.

This is most gospel musician's #1 challenge... what to do on the left hand and how to seamlessly play both hands together. Jonathan showed us how easy the left hand can be when you know what you're doing in his GospelKeys 600 dvd and he takes it even further in this audio series!

Special Bonus Opportunity:
You'll Also Get 3 FREE  "Monthly Music Mentor"
Courses Just For Trying This Program...

     As a very special one-time bonus, I'd also like to send you three free courses from my Monthly Music Mentor CD of the month program.

     The Monthly Music Mentor program is aimed at teaching you everything you need to know to play piano in the quickest and easiest way possible. Just as it sounds, this program was designed to take you by the hand and "mentor" you step-by-step through the musical process of playing by ear. If you lack time and want to make the best of the limited time you have, you're going to love what these monthly cd lessons will do for you.

     Here's how it works: Order now, and I'll throw in a one-month FREE subscription to my Monthly Music Mentor program - PLUS you'll get three free Monthly Music Mentor^TM introductory courses, which provide an incredible introduction to the ongoing training... and you'll get all this just for trying this program.

     The three courses you'll receive are "Piano By Ear For Starters" 2-hour course, "How To Find The Key To Any Song" 80-minute course, and the first Monthly Music Mentor introductory CD (80-minute "Getting Started" program). All of this is worth $79.95 but yours free as a bonus today.

     I'm so sure you're going to love Monthly Music Mentor courses that I'm even going to pay the additional priority SHIPPING cost to send the starter kit to you.

     If you love the three starter courses (which you will), keep them and stay subscribed to the program. Every month, I'll send you a new lesson on CD, and you'll automatically be charged only $15.95 a month... which is roughly just a quarter of what one private lesson would cost you... and you can't rewind live lessons). You can cancel anytime you want with no questions or hassles. If you cancel before 30 days, you won't be billed at all.

The Three Courses Are Your Gifts
To Keep Either Way...

     If you get these 3 courses and you DON'T love them and get IMMEDIATE success with the material you learn, you can cancel and keep all the courses FOR FREE... just for TRYING it. In other words, you get to keep all the material for free either way... even if you cancel right after you get it.

     This bonus is worth at least $79.95 alone, and it's yours free just for trying this program --- but this special free offer is only available with your purchase right now.

***If you prefer NOT to get this free $79.95 bonus package, you can "opt out" with one click while ordering... and simply complete your order without the free bonus and 30-day trial. Your choice. It's that easy.

"So How Much?"

Even though, for all this, I could very well charge over $120.00 and still get tons of orders for the two hours of step-by-step audio training  --- plus the bonus live training sessions online (worth another $39.95 in value). 

Plus, you'll get the additional 3 Monthly Music Mentor^TM courses valued at $79.95. So you're not only getting 2+ hours of step-by-step audio instruction on contemporary & phat urban chords but an additional 4.5 hours of audio training in free bonuses. Then there's the ongoing support of the Monthly Music Mentor program --- what else could you possibly ask for?

 Many piano websites sell packages like this (with 6.5 hours combined) for well over $100.00... and they aren't as long as ours and not packed with nearly as much information.

But I'm not going to charge you $120.00 even though that's what this comprehensive package, bonus trainings, and 3 free courses are worth. I'm not going to charge you $90 --- I'm not even going to charge you the retail price of $69.95 for this incredible package because I want as many people as possible to take advantage of this awesome information at an affordable price.

 

For just 2 easy monthly payments of $26, this entire 2-hour GospelKeys Urban Pro 625 Audio Course plus the training sessions and free courses can be yours.

This offer is subject to change at any time (so if you're really interested in this course, I suggest you act quickly --- otherwise, you might end up paying well over $100 in the future). Even worse, you may be too late and not able to take advantage of the this offer at all (we're only accepting 350 customers for the bonus listed above).

The next price change will increase this package to around 2 payments of $30.

After that, the price will be permanent at 2 payments of $39.

 

Click here if you're ready to order this 2-hour package for just 2 monthly payments of $26 through our online secure server

Even though the price  is extremely affordable (cheaper than the cost of two tickets to Disney World), here's what's really important. If this contemporary urban pro audio series was just another course that just sat in your bookshelf and didn't teach you anything new, it wouldn't matter what the price was. IT WOULDN'T BE WORTH ONE PENNY.

I don't release many courses. But when I do, I want to make sure that you're getting back in information and helpful resources & tools at least two to three times what you invest. That is always my goal and  I sincerely believe this is one of the best values you'll ever come across.

This course is a "MUST" in order to become a better musician for your church worship team! Hi, I'm LadyD... I was surfing the web one day and found Jermaine Griggs website. I have enjoyed playing the piano since I was 8 years old! I read notes well and play keyboard on the worship team at my church. I have always longed to play without sheet music and to learn what it means to play by ear! I became a member in March of 2006. I have met over 700 buddies who share music tips, music files and songs they're working on. I purchased the 300 page course book and enjoyed the theory immensely. Learning how to harmonize melodies in Gospel Keys101 increased my understanding greatly. Gospel Keys 202 & 300, with worship and praise songs, is a must to becoming a better musician for your church worship team. Playing music by ear is a very enjoyable experience for me and a dream come true! Thanks H&P!   LadyD http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/LadyD

"I thought it was too late for me to start..." "But after getting the GospelKeys Series, I'm now playing for my church !" I've had a strong desire to play piano since I was 12 years old. My aunt was teaching me and she died suddenly, but I never lost the urge to play. I am at the age of 38 and started 2 years ago to try and play again. Hear and Play was referred to me and I thought I'd try it out. I started with the 300 page course and was like "WOW!” I thought it was too late for me to start, but now I have all the GospelKeys series with the exception of the 500 series, and you better bet I am getting it next! "I may not know everything there is to know about the piano but what I do know is that now I'm playing for my church service on 1st and 3rd Sundays and other churches have asked me to help them out since I've been studying the courses. No lie... you may know a lot and still you will be amazed because there is so much more you can add to what you already know. Thanks Jermaine! LaQuanda   "He had very limited results before he came to us... ...but after one night of watching our lessons, his playing was revolutionized!" 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 watching the online lessons on this site, my understanding of chord structure and my playing ability was revolutionized. Thanks Hearandplay! Robby Hunter http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/robby   "It is hard to find someone willing to teach a visually-impaired person... ...but since he discovered us, his playing has been "tight!!!" I have really been blessed by being a part of the HearandPlay community! I recommend it to everyone! I've been playing piano for about 10 years now, and wanted to enhance my playing skills. It is hard to find someone willing to teach a visually impaired person, but since we discovered HearandPlay, it's been tight! I own all the GospelKeys piano lesson dvds, including the 300pg piano workbook! I really enjoy my dvds and the newsletters are really good. The zone is off the hook! Adrian Stewart http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/Adrian   "After studying GospelKeys 101, she decided to try to play Silent Night by ear ONLY... ...She was shocked that in 10 minutes, she had the song mastered!" I have purchased the GospelKeys 101. This video has inspired me to want to learn more about playing the piano. The lessons are very easy to follow and I was able to learn full length songs in one day. I am a beginner and never really understood musical note reading. But since I have been involved in this community my understanding has grown immensely. My ear listening abilities has also grown tremendously. One day I sat down and decided to try to play Silent Night by ear only. I was shocked!! In about 10 minutes time I had the song mastered. So then I thought why not try, We Three Kings, and as well it came so easy for me. I'm excited about how my playing by ear has increased. I can play quite a few songs now by ear that I couldn't of played before the lessons and through the help of the community at Hear and Play. The community is like a second family to me. They are all so supportive of each other and provide such good information on playing music and on other helpful sites available. Becoming a member is a true blessing. -Mary http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/indigoyellowrose
