a personal "Getting Started" message from
me...
From: Jermaine Griggs
Tuesday, 11:54 AM
Dear Friend,
Don't do it alone.
Join over 203,750
musicians who have used the same exact methods on this page
to literally transform their playing. (Keep reading for success
spotlights of selected students).
I personally think
there's a huge problem out there for musicians who want to play
piano (or any instrument, for that matter) by ear.
...And I'm guessing that you're
reading this page because you, too, have faced the same problems
that I'll talk about soon.
Now... It's not that there
isn't help out there...
There's just not much
help for musicians who want to play outside of
traditional "sight reading" or classical methods you've probably
come across.
I'm talking about help for
"ear" musicians.
Musicians who want to:
Play piano without
having to rely solely on sheet music or chord symbols (more on this later).
Be able to hum a tune,
then immediately play it on the piano in a few minutes.
Be able to hear something
on the radio or on a favorite album and immediately understand
what's happening in the song without being at a piano.
Sit down at the piano and
play exactly what they feel... entertain guests and simply enjoy
music.
Play in a band with
other musicians who play by ear and be able to follow along and
improvise when the time is right.
Play at church,
accompany quartets or singing groups, and perform at special occasions without
any fear or hesitation.
Learn music at a
comfortable pace without being forced to pay a teacher $30-$50 or more per
hour.
(Basically, all the things you can't go to most traditional teachers, institutions, and colleges to learn. And if you can, you'd better
be ready to audition or pay hefty fees).
...And I realized this dilemma
back in 1999 when I first started Hear and Play Music. A year later,
I launched HearandPlay.com online and my journey began to help
people learn music by ear.
"I had
no idea how many people were really struggling to play piano by ear"
Within months of starting
Hearandplay.com, musicians from
all around the world were e-mailing me request after request to
teach them this song... and that song. This chord and
that chord --- chord changes, progressions, hymns, music theory,
ear-training, gospel music, jazz standards, blues, licks & tricks,
~~~~~~ (the list goes on and on).
So...
...If any of this sounds
familiar, the good news is that you're not alone.
If
you're like most of my students, you're struggling to pick out
melodies, chords, chord progressions, and patterns in songs. Heck,
if you're just getting started, you probably don't even know what
chords and progressions are!
If you've gone further and
started to teach yourself, perhaps you're at a roadblock and really
trying to put all this stuff together.
How
scales relate to chords... and chords to progressions... and how to
find the keys songs are being played in, how to recognize patterns
in songs, (just to give a few
examples).
Maybe you're reading self-help
books and have bought every training manual or "how-to" video --- or
have even taken personal music lessons --- but have been
disappointed with the results.
"To
be quite frank..."
Learning piano is not an
overnight thing. It requires commitment, drive, and discipline. Even
pros practice daily and are constantly learning new things.
Great musicians never think in
terms of a "destination." It's always a "journey."
There's always new things
to learn.
New genres. New techniques and
styles. Unfamiliar theory and alternative ways to approach
music. Other things to explore. And just simply improving
upon what you already know.
So with that said... if you
think I'm just going to teach you some magical chords and you're
going to play every song you've ever wanted to by tomorrow, then
stop reading this page. I'd hate to waste your time.
But if
you're willing to put in some time and practice, I can guarantee
that in very little time (compared to years and years of training,
lessons, and school), you'll be playing the piano by ear and even
picking up songs on the radio.
"Wait!" I hear you saying under your breath.
"Jermaine, what makes you so sure that you can teach me how to
play piano by ear?"
Simply put. Because my
methods are proven and tested. Not fluff... not theories... not
"would-be" or "could-be" methods but techniques that
have helped literally hundreds of thousands of musicians by ear.
As
you may know by now, 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 (as shown in their
Testimonials).
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!
Click here to see a screen shot of my website
statistics.
Thousands
of students now teach beginning piano to 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!

Jermaine
Griggs, Founder
I have been playing for 40 years and have not had many
lessons. These online keyboard courses are the most
organized method to getting a well rounded keyboard
education. There is no substitute for this course. 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.
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 lessons and
resources!
As
Albert is at work now, I speak on his behalf to say
he has lessons printed 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 printed
materials all around and portable players to listen
to the mp3 lessons 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!

This site is going to
be extremely helpful to you. And to make sure you get the most
applicable advice, you'll find three major categories most of my
visitors fall into.
Please click the link below
that best describes your situation. What you click will determine
the information you receive in the advice box below.
"Learning piano doesn't have to be hard. Learn the shortcuts and
tricks to playing piano quickly and easily."
Here's an example of a
few shortcuts that'll save you lots of time. You may or may not
already know them. Of course, you'll want to read the rest of this
page to find out
how to get all the secrets... but for now, pay close
attention to what I'm sharing here.
In my "advice box"
above, you've already learned why scales are important.
You've also learned how to get started identifying and
recognizing patterns in songs. Now I want to show you an easy
technique on how to play any melody or chord progression in all 12
keys!
Learning to
instantaneously play any chord in all 12 keys (for beginners)...
Ok ... let's say you
know how to play a C Major Chord (C + E + G). But what happens
when someone asks you to play an F Major Chord or totally switches
a song to another key?
...What do you do
then? There's thousands of chords, voicings, and inversions out
there and you definitely can't memorize every single one of
them... but you can understandtechniques and
principles that will allow you to play any chord right off the
top of your head (without practicing or memorizing it).
How's that? Pay
close attention:
Diagram A
Diagram B
Above, you will find the
notes of the C major scale (Diagram A). Using a simple technique I
will show you in my course, you can pick three notes from that
scale to create a C major chord (Diagram B). "Wait ... you
mean to tell me that it's that simple?"
Yes, it is.
Knowing this, all you would
have to do is apply the same principle to all 12 major scales
and you'll get all 12 major chords.Don't worry... I'll
show you, step-by-step, how to form all 12 major and all 12 minor
scales (and the chords that come from them).
This same procedure, as you
will soon discover, can be used to learn virtually any chord:
minor seventh chords, dominant chords, diminished chords,
augmented chords, ninth chords, eleventh chords, and more.
Here's a "cheat chart" to
help you remember some of the easy chord formulas. Keep in mind
that the numbers below
come straight from the scale (e.g. - "the first tone of the scale
equals 1... the second tone of the scale equals 2... the third
tone of the scale equals 3, and so forth).
Every scale has its own set
of numbers just like my example below...
C major scale
=
C
D
E
F
G
A
B
C
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
same as 1
Now that you understand the
"number" system, just use my "cheat chart" to play any chord you
want.
You should definitely print
these "easy formulas" out. You'll use them a lot in
the beginning. This is just one time-saving strategy that you can
use to start playing piano by ear in no
time.
...Just to think...
With private lessons, you probably wouldn't get
passed "seventh" or "ninth" chords after a year or so and $$$
thousands of dollars in fees. That is, if you can find a
teacher who specializes in the style of music you want to
play by ear. That's the tough part.
Even at $30 an hour (which is cheap), weekly
lessons would cost you $1,560 per year. After the second year, you
would have paid over $3,000.00 bucks! Most people take years
of lessons and only a handful of them continue on to their desired
levels. Others teach themselves at their own paces and thousands of
dollars cheaper.
Below, you'll find stories of
people who have taught themselves how to play. Some went the private
teacher route first... then decided that it wasn't for them and
eventually sought out our site as a way to help them accelerate
their learning.
Others came to us from the
beginning.
Read their stories and see what
you can learn from their experiences. At the least, these success
reviews will be an inspiration to you, no doubt!

"He had very
limited results before he came to us...
...but
after one night of taking 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 taking your lessons, my
understanding of chord structures and my playing
ability was revolutionized. Thanks Hearandplay!
"...and Jermaine Griggs is absolutely a genius,
teaching people how to play by ear!"
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!
God Bless!

"World-Renown Drummer & Television Host Enhances His Piano
Playing..."
Hello,
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 was
skeptical about this course at first, but..."
"After doing the
lessons, I must say that I was very impressed!"
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!"

"BOY...

"Now, I'm complimented

I've
been a musician for more than 9 years, and I had reached a
point where I felt as if I was playing the same thing over

point). At this point, I began searching for help online,
and that's when I found this website; BOY - is it

Since coming here, I've been
complimented over and over about my new found "style" and

Hello! My name is Dante Smith,
and one day I was looking online for something to help me

Hear & Play has taken my

I never had any training at
all, but by just following along with all the lessons, I
have awoken something in me that I thought I didn't have.
To keep it short & sweet, I
would recommend this website to anyone who truly wants to
learn basic music theory. Last but not least, it's all up

"I'm
gradually unlearning most of my bad techniques of my younger
days ..."
"...This website is
helping me rebuild my confidence and wish I would've
discovered it a lot earlier!"
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'
300 pg course - "The Secrets To Playing By Ear" package.
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, repetitions, relentless hours
of drills and boring practice sessions. This zone along
with its "online lessons" platform is a powerful tool for
anyone, especially newbies interested in learning and
growing. You rock Hearandplay!

many of my customers have e-mailed me asking for the chords to my sound
examples, I have decided to offer another free bonus program, which
features 10 of my most commonly used progressions (I can't include them all.
However, every time I update this program, you'll have instant access to the
updates absolutely free!)
Full-length Sound Examples.
Enjoy listening to some of my favorite chord progressions while you
will learn to play them yourself!

Step by
Step Instructions.
Since many of you have questioned whether you'll learn these sound
examples exactly how they are played, I have decided to include
step-by-step instructions on how to play each and every one of them!
Chord
Diagrams.
Along with step-by-step instructions are illustrations of every
single chord --- so not only will you see that a chord progression
includes a Cmin9 (b5) or an Fmaj7 (b5) chord, but you'll know exactly how
I played it (the same exact inversion and voicing).
If you order
before midnight, I'll include two more bonuses worth the entire cost of
the course by themselves (...other customers have paid full price for these at
our other sites).
Temporary Super Bonus #4
(Online
Download / Limited Time)
7 Day Trial
FULL Version of P.I.T.C.H. Interactive Ear-Training Software v1.0! (a $69
value;
full version
instead of trial now)
The
full version of P.I.T.C.H. (Pitch Identification Training
for Competent Hearing) sells for nearly $70 bucks and now
we're throwing it in for those who order today. (Note: We used to offer
only a 7-day trial version but have since upgraded this bonus to the FULL
$69 version of the software).
P.I.T.C.H. allows you to interactively
train your ear in several ways. You can connect your midi keyboard, your
microphone, or use the program
with
your regular computer keyboard. It is one of very few programs that verifies
that you're singing the right notes and distances. There are over 800
exercises and an unlimited amount of session questions.
After all, if you can't hear and sing
it, you can't play it. This is worth the entire cost of the package by
itself.
This Bonus
available online only.
Temporary Super Bonus #5
(Online
Download / Limited Time)
13 Hours! V.I.P. Instant &
Unlimited Access to my 2005 Group TeleClass Members-Only Area (a $139
value)
Back
in 2005, I held 7 group training sessions over the phone. They were recorded
and the audio files and outlines were placed online for the group members
only. Each session was $19.95 each.
Because you're ordering today, I'm
throwing in instant and unlimited access to this members-only area.
Here are the class topics:
1) "How to effectively
train your ear to play by ear" (90 minutes)
2) "How to maximize your
left hand with power chords, arpeggios, and tritones" (2 hours)
3) "The ABCs to playing the
piano by ear for starters" (2 hours, 20 minutes)
4) "How to instantly
manipulate chords to produce the contemporary sounds you want!" (2
hours)
5) "Pro Ear-Training: How
to find the major key of any song" (2 hours)
6) "Gospel 101: How to play
your favorite old-time hymns in three steps" (1 hour, 40 minutes)
7) "Gospel 300: Exploring
uptempo and charismatic songs in 5 easy-to-understand steps!" (2 hours)
That's over 13 additional hours of
education online for free!

Temporary Super Bonus #6
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 MentorTM 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.
Value of Bonuses if bought separately:
$400.95
(Yours Free)
Now picture this: It's
a year from today ... let's say next
(or a lot sooner), and you've drastically improved your piano
playing --- with a lot less effort than you expected. Even better,
you are actually playing in a band, directing a choir, or serving as a
musician at your church. Perhaps, you're not doing any of these
but you now enjoy playing the piano in your free time... especially
with family and friends gathered around.
Now, stop and look
back on today. Considering that you've now learned how to play the
piano from scratch, or have greatly improved your piano playing,
what price tag would've made it a good investment?
To determine this, I
surveyed previous customers of other products
and have analyzed the potential power of this course, and have
arrived at the affordable price of $237.00 (which is just a fraction
of the
value of the
bonus items alone).
Instant Savings
Coupon: You've arrived at this page just in time to
take advantage of a special test offer we're running for the next
few days.
For just 2 easy monthly payments of $41, this entire 300-pg Home Study Course plus all
of the bonuses (3 software programs on CD-rom,
P.I.T.C.H. Ear-Training instant download, V.I.P. access to my
13-hour members-only audio classes, and 3 free cd courses) can be yours.
This offer is subject to change at any time so if you're
really interested in this comprehensive package, I suggest you
act quickly --- otherwise, you might end up paying $237.00 or more in
the future with no bonuses.
If
not, my 100% "NO-RISK" guarantee should help you make a
decision or you're just not serious about this.
Coupon Price
Expires:
That's over $155.00 off the
normal price --- just for ordering between today and
. Think about it? If you paid a piano teacher an average of
$30 per lesson every week, in one year, you would have paid
the teacher over $1,500.
Why am I giving away my
complete package (normally priced at $237.00) for a
special price of only 2 monthly payments of $41
when I can sell it for well over
$200.00? One reason is that I want to give everyone the
opportunity to learn piano without having to pay a piano teacher
thousands of dollars or even pay for a course well over $300. I've
done my part ---- it's now your call.

Lose And Everything To Gain" Guarantee

I designed this
guarantee for the 99% who are honest, but naturally skeptical -- not
the 1% who'll take advantage of me. But more importantly ...
I've been offering
this same guarantee for years, and only a handful of customers have
failed to learn how to play piano with these techniques. Sure,
once in a while there's a tire kicker who buys my course, does
nothing with it, and sends it back for a refund. But as you can see
from my
testimonials, customers who USE my step-by-step methods are
wowed by the results, and would never think of trading my
course back for a few dollars.
If you've read the
testimonials from my customers, you've already seen what my
product can do for you. I teach the simplest, most
easy-to-understand techniques, secrets, and principles to learning
the piano by ear.

$237.00 after (Special Offer:
2 monthly payments of $41)
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. 
With private lessons, you probably wouldn't get
passed "seventh" or "ninth" chords after a year or so and $$$
thousands of dollars in fees. That is, if you can find a
teacher who specializes in the style of music you want to
play by ear. That's the tough part.
Mr.
Griggs,
Jermaine
has cleaned the window to my mind of understanding. I
now pick out chord progressions in songs just by hearing
them.
Hi,
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.
I've
been a musician for more than 9 years, and I had reached a
point where I felt as if I was playing the same thing over
and over as if I had hit a musical wall (...you get the
point). At this point, I began searching for help online,
and that's when I found this website; BOY - is it
INFORMATIVE and RESOURCEFUL!
I
love Hear and Play!! I'm a grandmother of 8 girls, and a
novelist. I'm also lately indulging in a life long desire
to play piano by ear, and the help I'm getting from all
the wonderfully talented people on the forum is
invaluable. Thank you so much.
HearandPlay
has been a tremendous blessing to me. I have been playing
for some time now and filling in the gaps as far as musical
knowledge has been much easier.
My
name is Ernestine Smith. I've played piano for years. I
heard other people playing more beautiful and full chords
and I wanted to do that. So I surfed the web and found
Jermaine.
Hi, my name is Marcus and I
just wanted to let you know that I bought the book written
by Jermaine Griggs called "The Secrets to Playing Piano By
Ear."
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!
This software sells for $97 on our site
but we will give it to you for free! Piano Player Plus is a quiz module which
allows you to test yourself on every single technique, principle, and secret
covered in the 300 pg book. It includes:
The 300-page
home study course features over 330 chords, progressions, and sound
examples and with a click of a button, the Sound Library v1.0 will allow
you to access every single one of those sound clip examples. 
Because
many of my customers have e-mailed me asking for the chords to my sound
examples, I have decided to offer another free bonus program, which
features 10 of my most commonly used progressions (I can't include them all.
However, every time I update this program, you'll have instant access to the
