(personal audio
message from me)
Dear Musician,
What
if you could pop a CD into your home or car stereo and learn everything
you needed to know to start playing beautiful chords on the piano?
I'm talking about all the same
chords used to play practically every popular song out there! The ones you
grew up listening to... the songs you now enjoy... classic holiday tunes...
even your kids'
favorite songs... and more!
What if you could learn all
the chords that make up those songs in just an hour or so? Would you be
excited?
Well... You should be!
Because on this page, I'm
going to reveal an approach that allows you to learn anywhere: at your
piano, in your car, on your ipod®
while at the gym --- ANYWHERE!
So, if
you have a cd player and two hours to spare, then you have what it takes
to start mastering chords by ear.
Here's some info about my tested and proven approach...
I
start you from scratch, so you won't need any experience or prior
knowledge. Just pop in my 2-hour audio course from the very beginning and
you'll be well on your way to learning everything you need to know to play
popular chords by ear.
I
don't use any sheet music, so you can expect to be playing chords
without having to rely on any! You're going to understand the "how"
and "why" behind chords, and once done, you'll have a well-rounded
education after just two hours with me.
No boring book work! Everything is
audio-based. Whether at your piano, in the car, or exercising, you'll
benefit from this convenient way to learn. I designed this audio program with
busy people in mind so you'll find many shortcuts aimed at getting you
up and playing in the fastest possible time. No fluff.
No hype. Straight to the point!
Here's a detailed overview of
what you can expect to learn in my comprehensive "chords" audio series.

Chords 101 Audio Program Overview:
"Introduction to Chords"
Step-by-step, you'll learn:
How
to form various types of chords: major, minor, diminished, augmented and the
easy theory behind them. DO NOT BE INTIMIDATED.
You'll literally laugh when you discover how easy it is to play all of
these chords by ear!
The
classes of chords and the difference between triads, sevenths,
ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths... all broken down in "normal,"
down-to-earth, language.
One
magic formula that creates all the chords you'll ever need to know.
All I'll tell you is that it involves two words: Quality & Quantity
(and you need both in order to create all chords).
How
notes create scales... scales create chords... and chords create
progressions. Once you master this simple process, learning songs comes easy...
even to a beginner!
How
to form any major scale in seconds using my "Why Won't He
Wear White When Hot" trick. You won't find
this taught anywhere else because it's totally out-of-the-box.
These are the tricks students need to bring
theoretical, intimidating concepts down to earth... and to stop
from boring themselves to death! My courses are full of these creative
tricks!
Easy
ways to understand intervals (which are merely distances between notes).
There are melodic intervals and harmonic intervals and you'll learn both.
Simply put, if you can understand freeway signs: "Next exit in 3 miles"...
then you can understand intervals!
The
secret behind the "number system" and how to use it to learn
practically any chord out there. I'll prove it to you with 7 practical
examples.
The
"interval" approach and how to never mislabel notes and
chords again by simply mastering two simple rules that'll stick
with you for the rest of your music career.
The
difference between generic and specific intervals and why it's
important to master both. Hint: One is like the "shape" of the chord while
the other is like the "size." You need both to properly describe any
chord.
The
concept of superimposing one interval over another
to create something bigger than the two parts, separately.
Forget big
words... superimposing simply means to stack one thing on top of
another (like one box on top the other). This happens a lot in music!
All
the formulas you need to know to play triads (M3 + m3), (m3 + M3),
(m3 + m3), (M3 + M3), etc. Each of these give you an entirely different
chord and sound!
How
to master inversions (root position, first inversion, second
inversion, etc.). An inversion is simply a different way to play the
same chord and you'll learn just how to do it!
How
to use triads in a major scale and how to determine the primary
chords of every key. Hint: Once you know the primary chords in a key, they
will be the most common chords played in most songs.
The
second course in my "chords" audio series takes it a step further. Here's
an in-depth look at what H&P 102 has to offer...

Chords 102 Audio Program Overview:
"The Power of Seventh
Chords"
Step-by-step, you'll learn:
How
to form various types of seventh chords and why they are so
important in playing by ear.
Why
seventh chords are the foundation of many more extended chords like
ninths, elevenths, thirteenths, and altered voicings.
Hint: You won't even have to
learn the "big" chords once you've mastered a few little tricks with the
seventh chord!
The
power of the "magic 3rd & 7th" and how manipulating them can help
you to instantly play dozens of chords in all twelve keys... very
easily!
The
concept of "tertian chords" versus "non-tertian" chords and how to
form both types. Musicians that understand both kinds play a lot more
interesting and unpredictable than those that stick to regular chords.
Don't worry about the fancy language. There's nothing to it once
you understand it.
The
secret behind extended tertian chords and how to enhance your playing
with them. This one secret will change the way you look at chords forever.
How
to play chords most musicians have never heard of... "secundals," "tone
clusters," "quartal chords," "quintal chords" and more!
No! I'm not trying to impress you with big words. These are real
types of chords used in real songs.
How
to play the "minor/major" seventh chord... NOT just separate major
seventh chords and minor seventh chords (you'll learn those too)... but THE
"minor/major" seventh chord. Most musicians have never heard of this!
Why
intervals are so important and how to use them to easily play any major, minor,
dominant, diminished, half-diminished, augmented, or altered seventh chord in all
12 keys --- instantly.
The
power of tonic chords, super tonic chords, mediant chords, and
others... and how they help you to understand how music flows.
Other scale tone degrees like "subdominant," "dominant," "submediant,"
"leading tone," and how to use them to predict what chords will come
next in a song. Don't worry if you've never heard this language before...
it's very simple once I break it down for you.
How
to determine what chords strongly pull to others. This is the key
to effectively learning songs by ear... quickly!
The
modern musician's best friend: The "tritone" and how to use it with
seventh chords to creatively transform the entire mood of your playing.
How
the circle of fifth allows you to play dozens of chord progressions
using all of the seventh chords and voicings from this course!
What
the "minor-dominant-major" chord progression is and how it's used
in at least 60% of popular music! Think of a song and I guarantee
you it's in it!
Various chord progressions like the "2-5-1," "5-1," "1-4," and how
major scales help you to understand these progressions in every major key.
How to invert seventh chords four different ways! Hint: There's the root position,
first inversion, second inversion, and third inversion... while triad chords
only have three inversions.
The
best inversions to choose for seventh chords to give them the
richest, smoothest sound... especially when connecting from one chord to
the next.
How
to play seventh chords on each and every tone of the major scale. That
means, for all seven unique tones in a scale, there is a major seventh,
minor seventh, dominant seventh, or half-diminished seventh chord to
correspond to that tone ---- which tells you where to place chords
when playing real songs.
How
seventh chords relate to the minor scale. Warning: This is rarely
taught so you'll be shocked to see what chords correspond to the minor
scale and how to use them in more serious-sounding songs.
How
to change your left-hand bass note and create a bigger, nicer-sounding
chord (like an eleventh or minor thirteenth voicing) by keeping the
same seventh chord held down in your right hand!

what satisfied members of the Gospel Music Training Center have to say
about it. Remember their names because you'll be chatting with some of
them in our member chat room, once you log in.
Hello, My name
is Mark from Maryland. I've always wanted to play the piano
but couldn't until one day I turned on my computer and I seen
an advertisement saying " If you can hear it, you can play it"
from Hearandplay. The advertisement said for a certain price,
in 9 months if you follow all of my directions you should be
playing in a church. The price for the package at that time
added up to be about 4 lessons from a private teacher.
Everyone should know that you can't play by taking 4 lessons.
Also, Jermaine mentioned that if you're not satisfied you can
get your money back. But I wasn't interested in getting my
money back. I really wanted to learn how to play. So I order
the package 101, 202, 300, 500, the workbook and a CD to train
your ears. People let me tell you something. I'm not musically
inclined but I started not only just playing but I started
playing in a church in 3 months. Thanks Hearandplay family!!!!

First I need
to say a big thank you to you Jermaine. This is a really good
cause and God will bless you tremendously and expand your
horizon even beyond your imagination. The videos, bi-weekly
conference and even the chat room have all helped with my
keyboard playing. I know I play a lot better now and people
around me are noticing the change. I used to be very lazy but
your program has kept me busy due to the following. -I used to
consider some skills as very difficult, but your step by step
approach and music theory has broken this misconception. Your
ipod compatible lessons and downloads even maje it easier. I
play the lessons on my ipod during the day, learning tips and
doing mental analysis. The 1st thing I do when I get home now
is to jump on my keyboard and practice them. Now I don't have
to be in front of my TV or computer to watch your videos. You
really have kept me going. Thank you Jermaine and everyone
that's been a part of this. More grease to your elbow!
What's up
Jermaine, JP, and fellow GMTC family. This is your man Adrian
from Indy. I am visually impaired, and I am just letting you
know how GMTC has been a TREMENDOUS BLESSING TO ME!!! I really
enjoy learning how to play the new contemporary, as well as
the Old Time Gospel Songs! When I first came across Jermaine's
Hear and Play material about 5 years ago, I was already blown
away by his teaching methods on his Gospel Keys DVDs, and his
newsletter, but this GMTC has put it over the TOP!!! It was
complicated finding a piano teacher because of my situation,
but with Jermaine's systems, and now GMTC, I don't need to
find a teacher. This is a STELLAR SYSTEM AND OPPORTUNITY!!!
Keep up the good work!

Hey Jermaine!
Gods' goodwill and peace be with you my precious Brother! If
the truth be known, GMTC is the best site for musical ministry
learning in the world. There is nothing lacking. The price
itself is a great blessing from the riches of heaven provided
through brothers who will receive their crowns from the Father
of Gifts when the time comes. I am 59 years young, and even I
am learning this material. With such visual aids, and patience
of the instructors, it is almost unbelievable that such a
thing is available in this egotistical and selfish world. I
have added three complete songs to my repertoire, even with my
full schedule. The only reason that my number is low is
because I need to discipline myself to learning one song at a
time. I'm telling you that I feel like a kid in a candy
factory. Now, not only am I an accomplished guitar player, I
can actually substitute for a late arriving keyboardist. Also,
I am now able to lay my own keyboard tracks just the way I
want them.T hanks and keep doing what you do, cause it's on
like joy on the throne!

***If you prefer NOT to get this free $86 bonus, you can "opt out" with
one click while ordering... and simply complete your order without the
30 free days in the training club and free starter dvd. It's that easy.
H&P
Chords 101 retails for $33 and 102 retails for $37. If you come back after
this temporary "sale," you'd pay $70 for both courses (4 hours, 4 discs).
Of course, even at $15-$30 per half hour, which is super-cheap, 4 hours of
private training will cost you $120 to $240.
...And it's well worth it to be able to play exactly what you feel on the
piano and to watch the jaws of your family, friends, and fellow musicians
drop when
they
see you playing all types of chords and voicings by ear!
But
to reward those who are serious about learning the piano, I want to offer
a special "bundle" price today...

just two easy payments of $22, you can have both of these courses shipped to your doorstep
in less than a week. It's a no-brainer deal and if you're serious about
learning chords and taking your piano playing to the next level, then
you'll have no problem with this offer.

Hear and Play Music Group
First, I believe in
both modalities of learning: audio cds and dvds. In fact, I have tons of
dvd courses specializing in teaching students how to play piano,
organ, keyboard, drums, and even guitar by ear.
When learning the
"how" and "why" behind things, repetition is very important. The
thing is, however, that it's not easy for everyone to be in front
of their tv screens all the time so these audio courses were
created so that one can learn the "how" and "why" behind scales,
chords, progressions, and songs without always having to be stable
in one place.
You can simply pop
a CD into your car... your home stereo, your office player, your
portable disc player or ipod and learn on the go... getting the
repetition you need to learn effectively.
Just imagine... if
your trip to work is just 15 minutes each way, that's an extra 30
minutes per day of constant, repetitive learning! If you drive 30
minutes each way, even better!
While it's great to
be able to "see" things in action, sometimes, it's equally
effective for your growth (if not better) to only "hear"
things and be able to relate to what you hear without seeing it.
The way I look at it, "sight" is more associated with sheet music.
It is the
"hearing" part that allows you to play by ear --- thus our
company name, Hear and Play Music Group.
Of course you can!
Even private teachers are known to record their lessons and offer
them to their students for an extra fee (some are gracious enough
to do it for free).
Now you can have your
very own private teacher make some of the most confusing musical
concepts plain and simple... like they should be! Not only that,
but you'll be taught real-life uses for what you learn --- like
how to play actual chords from real songs!
And when you're not
at the piano, you can still learn on the go! That's the best part
about audio courses. You don't have to be in one spot to
benefit from them! Plus, they tend to be cheaper than dvd
courses because they're easier to produce!
My
name is Jermaine Griggs and I'm the founder of this site.
I've been playing
piano for majority of my life. I started at the tender age of 7
years old playing for my church's junior youth choir.
Some of the things
I now teach came naturally to me back then (although I had no idea
how to articulate them) and many of the things I've learned over
the span of 17 years by literally reading, watching, and
studying everything I could get my hands on.
The rest has come
simply from "school-of-hard-knocks" experience out there in
the real world. Personally, that was my best teacher.
I'm
a graduate of the University of California at Irvine and have had
the privilege to work with top professors and colleagues. I've
helped lead the gospel choir there as well as many other campuses.
My main
accomplishments as a teacher have come from this site,
HearandPlay.com.
Over 41,185 people from over 102 Countries have already
relied on me to teach them how to play the piano through my
various paid courses. Many of them have since gone on to play in
bands, for churches, special events and more.
I
currently serve more than 203,750 online members and supply
over 1,500,000 visitors (that's ONE AND HALF MILLION
PEOPLE) per year with my online piano lessons, newsletters, and
more!
Thousands of my students now teach beginning piano to their own students!
Imagine going from learning piano in a few months to passing on
your knowledge to children in your community, church, or even
family members!
Since my first day online in August 2000, HearandPlay.com has
evolved into a multi-staff music instruction company and our
headquarters are in Irvine, CA.
Each course (H&P
Chords 101 and H&P Chords 102) is approximately 2 hours
long.
I take
you by the hand and walk you, step-by-step, through the process of
forming chords and how to use them in real-life situations. I
leave nothing to chance and explain everything in-depth.
So if you're
looking for a course that just flies through stuff (in an attempt
to cover a gazillion times more than should be covered), then this
course isn't for you. I don't pride myself in confusing people and
making them worse-off than they were before they invested in my
course.
However, if you're looking for a course that really spoon-feeds
you the information and leaves absolutely nothing out, then H&P
Chords 101 and H&P Chords 102 audio courses are definitely for
you.
While most companies
don't offer a return policy on such items (audios, videos, dvds,
software, etc.), we stand behind our courses 100%. If our
courses don't deliver exactly what you expected, you can return
them within the trial period --- no questions asked. It's
that simple.
We only hold a 3% return rate for our other products. We hope for
the return rate of this audio series to be no more than 1%
compared to the industry standard of 15%.
That is why we spend so much time laying out every single detail
of our courses online. We want to make sure that you understand
every aspect of our products before purchasing them.
*CHECKS/MONEY ORDERS -
PLEASE NOTE: This
offer is only available with credit and debit cards. You cannot send
a check or money order simply because we need the option to
automatically charge your card and this is not available if you send

convenient store and request a prepaid visa card in order to take
advantage of this "try before you buy" offer. Checks and money
orders paying for only shipping will be returned.
I have been playing for 40 years and have not had many lessons. These
keyboard courses are the most organized method to getting a well rounded
keyboard education. There is no substitute for these courses. In a matter of
minutes I saw and heard many aspects of playing that I never could get my
wits around...thank you for this opportunity.
Dan Naimowicz
Jermaine, It is always an
honor and a pleasure to share blessings! Hear and Play is one of the best
things that have happened to me and my fiancé Albert Williams! We just
THANK GOD for giving us an opportunity to learn from and be a part of such
a wonderful and vibrant productive family! We have seen the glory of God
through all of the courses and resources!
As Albert is at work now,
I speak on his behalf to say he takes his courses to look at during his
breaks and every possible chance he has. It has been his persistence and
growth that has inspired me so. All of your teachings and lessons have
been such a wonderful joy to the both of us. We talk about the fact all
the time that to be able to have the opportunity to learn things that we
each have always wanted and for various reasons unable to do so until now
is another miracle from God! Albert, has learned ahead of me many of the
lessons and it is such a joy now to have him teach me a lot. He has course
materials all around and portable players to listen to the audios while on
the go. I am still trying to learn my basics but I am smiling as I write
this testimony knowing I will eventually get there. This is the power of
practice and having such a great inspiration! I thank you! We thank you!
We thank God!
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 taking your
lessons, my understanding of chord structures and my playing ability was
revolutionized. Thanks Hearandplay!
I am so very ecstatic
about Hear and Play™! Hear and Play™ is a wonderful company! Jermaine
Griggs is absolutely a genius, teaching people all over the country how to
play gospel music on the keyboard, by ear! I think it's phenomenal!
I purchased your
courses and I was very impressed by the professional quality of your
product. I plan on ordering even more of your products in the future.
This is in great contrast to other products I've ordered online. I
ordered instructional materials from [various sites], and I was not
impressed. Yours is truly a "good deal" for the money, and I will send
many folks your way! I'm playing better already!
My name is Charles Shelton
Jr., and I've been playing keys for about 10 years now. This site has
really helped me out a lot by various lessons and being able to learn the
newest songs out on the market. Especially with the virtual chord finder
that is a major help if you can't read music.
Especially, being a world
renowned drummer it helps so I can help write keyboard parts. A lot of you
all have probably seen me on the Word Network. I've been on shows like the
Charles Shelton Jr. show on the Word Network, Dr. Bobby Jones Show, Pax
Network, Sky Angel, as well as touring and doing clinics in many different
cities. I also have an instructional Gospel Drumming Dvd that I have for
sale for all ages.
Jermaine Griggs is a
blessing. Being a promoter and endorser of different products, I don't
advertise or endorse just anything. Jermaine, you are a blessing... keep
up the good work.
I'm Evelyn. I've been
playing piano for 9 months. Since I've discovered this site, I only
knew some chords to play but now my piano playing has improved
greatly!
Not only that, I've
also learned some gospel songs through your courses. And most of all
there are so many friends who encourage and feed me the word of God.
You get everything you need from this site! Thank You Jermaine!
My name is Ed and I am a trumpet player and instructor in Florida.
Honestly, I was skeptical about this course at first. I went through
the entire site and read everything I could about this system. I
decided to sign up for the lessons to finally prove or disprove my
reservations about this course.
After doing the lessons
I must say that I was very impressed! I definitely learned a lot and
some different ways to think about music that made a lot of things so
simple. It is even evident in my trumpet playing. I have had the
opportunity in my life to talk to and perform with some of the great
musicians of our time and in talking to other trumpet players
(Gillespie, Marsalis, Sandoval, Ferguson, Faddis and so on...) they
all suggested that I learn how to play the piano to really get inside
the music.
The people who heard me
before and after I started this course have noticed a difference in my
trumpet performance! As I get deeper and deeper into this course my
ears are really starting to open up and "hear" many different sounds
and tones in which I never paid any attention to before! I just want
to say "THANKS" for such a great course. I also want to give my
personal endorsement for this course and suggest that all musicians
(especially the wind players) get this course so you and others can
"Hear" a difference when you "Play!"
I started at a young age and then quit piano. Then again as a
teenager, I went to a very well known, orthodox, and conservative
piano teacher trying to acquire appropriate skills and techniques to
fulfill my dream of being a professional concert pianist. I failed
miserably and later ended up with a Marketing career instead!
Many more years
afterwards I returned to piano, taking it up as one of my more intense
and passionate hobbies, somewhat trying to do and accomplish what I
failed doing years ago.
Thanks to Jermaine
Griggs and the HearandPlay family, now as a middle-aged piano player,
I'm gradually unlearning most of my bad techniques and habits of my
younger days. The website is helping me rebuild my confidence and wish
I had discovered some of these teachings long time ago....Where were
you Jermaine?
I am so delighted that
I found the HearandPlay Zone and in turn , Jermaine Griggs' courses.
Jermaine, thanks for making the piano learning methodology so
user-friendly , well-structured, easy-to-remember and enjoyable. I
truly appreciate your efforts for describing the piano technique and
practice habits on a down-to-earth level that makes sense!
This "hands on" nature
of the program along with its "interactive" approach focuses on the
fun and sheer pleasure of playing music. The results dispel the notion
that learning to play means enduring years of lessons, relentless
hours of drills, and boring practice sessions. This site is a powerful
tool for anyone, especially newbies interested in learning and
growing. You rock Hearandplay!

discovered chords!
So, if
you have a cd player and two hours to spare, then you have what it takes
to start mastering chords by ear.
The
difference between generic and specific intervals and why it's
important to master both. Hint: One is like the "shape" of the chord while
the other is like the "size." You need both to properly describe any
chord.
