Hear and Play Music Reviews 

I enjoyed being involved with a community of skilled music professionals who are skilled, patient and able to teach/express the music they love with people like me who desire to learn, but have the same experience.

They have the largest song library for learning to play gospel tunes.Plus their instructor...J.P. is just the best.He is patient and knows how to break the music down into bite size pieces to make your learning experience easy and fun!!Plus if you are strapped financially they have flexible payment options! Don't give up on learning Gospel Piano!! Keep the Faith!!

Dr. Onye and Tyler are always willing to stop and explain what you don't understand. Their reassurance that through time and practice I will learn to play.
Coaches make classes fun while teaching the fundamentals.

I’m really learning a lot and looking forward to learning so much more and being able to network with other people who are trying to learn and encouraging others to keep going for the reward is definitely worth it and I recommend that others tune in and give it try.

Instructions are plain and explained well

This is the most enjoyable training I have ever had. I love the fact that I can always go back and review. It has already made a different in the sound I always wanted.

I am a Happy Camper

been with Jermaine since his college days. Started with the 300 page book in 2000

I love the way the 100's are broken down so amazingly well. Jermaine and the other guy really break things down to my level. I am really motivated by their teaching.

Ms Brittany was wonderful!
I have learned many things and I like the pace.

Things that make me feel uncomfortable:
1)there are so many groups that I am over whelmed.
2) communicating in class is a struggle.
Example: I turn on my microphone, I try and be quiet then when the instructor asks for a comment, I comment and the mod has turned off your microphone and you didn’t know it. I have started using hand motions so that Ms Brittany knows I didn’t die.😂.
That is frustrating to me.

I have just gone into the tech room on Thursday to find out how to raise my hand.

I am happy that I took 2 months of classes and want to finish my year, but don’t see the option to do that! Maybe someone could tell me if that is possible.

HearAndPlay has been innovative, inspirational, challenging and supportive. The program is so engaging and it is lively interactive. While I had some knowledge of music HearAndPlay move by playing beyond notation to actually making music. May not be ready for the stage or Sunday service but I am growing daily. Thank you Bro. Jermaine

Hear and Play has been one of the best applications on the internet today. No matter what Gospel /Christian song you want to learn, you can find it here. And not only do you learn the song but you learn how it applies to other songs as well.

Hear and Play Program is an excellent program to learn and develop your piano skills. The concepts and techniques you’re taught and trained are absolutely amazing 🤩. When I started this journey in the program I knew zero, maybe where C is on the piano. My family and friends are shocked as to how much I have learned. The Director, Coaches and Staff are the best. The program also offer you a bundle of classes and workshops to attend for growth and development. I highly recommend this program to anyone that has a desire to learn piano as a beginner and others that already play and want to play at a greater level in piano. You will not be disappointed in this program.

At this time I would give a low rating not because of their methods of teaching. From the workshops' attended the teaching sessions have been outstanding. What is disappointing I have had two different times scheduled to find out information about the VIP program with confirmation emails concerning my appointment by a phone call,only not to get the call based on a scheduled appointment. This does concern me regarding commitment on their part. Left messages and texted as instructed but no response.

What can I say about Hear and Play! It's simply a world class music program. I've always loved the piano and went from one music teacher to another for years but still couldn't play. At Hear and Play, especially the VIP Coaching part of it, music is explained so that anyone can understand the theory, execute the techniques, and play well. The coaches are kind, caring, and knowledgeable. Not only that, Dr. Onye doesn't just explain and teach us how to play the piano; he trains and develops us into true musicians. My opinion is that Mr. Jermaine Griggs has built Hear and Play as a music school that teaches on a level that can compete with any college music program. I have truly found my last piano teacher and my last music school at Hear and Play, and I'm so grateful!

The Hear and Play VIP program is Awesome. The coaches are very knowledgeable and supportive. My piano knowledge and playing has really leveled up since joining. I would definitely recommend joining, if you’re interested in learning to play the piano.

I have been in the Hear and Play program for eight months now, and the knowledge I have gained in this short time span is amazing. I’ve implemented just a few concepts taught and now friends and family notice the difference and compliment me each week on my growth. I would highly recommend this program for everyone and all ages. I am a senior, but the concepts are taught in a way where everyone can understand and quickly implement the theory.

I highly recommend Hear and Play Music to anyone wanting to learn and grow as a musician. The coaches and teachers are knowledgeable, encouraging, patient, and truly invested in their students success. The lessons are easy to follow, practical, and designed to help you make real progress.

I appreciate the positive learning environment and the support provided every step of the way. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your skills, Hear and Play Music is an excellent program. I gladly give it 5 stars ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The VIP Program at Hear and Play is very knowledgeable in the music community across the globe. People from all musical levels have learned to play, or have become better players in playing by ear. This program has been around for over 25 years or more, so it has stood the test of time. The Instructors who teaches the classes are very knowledgeable in their craft. Most people who have came through this program were blessed in learning to play, or learning to become a better player.

I started my piano journey with VIP program here at Hear&Play in October 2025 (I could not play a song) and I have been blown away with all that I have learned and by my progress in this program. This program is so well organized and everyone is so helpful, from the Music Director and from all the coaching staff. The staff maintain a high level of professionalism with a spirit of excellence that is demonstrated in every class.

I believe that this program is so in depth that the students should get a certificate of completion at every level because once you complete the progressive level, I believe, you can play anywhere and be successful and sought after.

I would promote this level of music training for beginners all the way to advanced players because there is so much to learn that everyone benefits from this training program.

To anyone who is contemplating whether or not to join this program, I say, jump on in and watch how God will elevate you in your musical journey. The financial investment is worth every penny.

It is an absolute blessing to have found this program that focuses on teaching people how to play gospel music! The fact that you have a replay page that allows you to get continuous music lesson is priceless! I love my new musical community that I have found. Everyone is so encouraging and willing to share what they have already learnt. Absolutely great program!!
