"God has truly given you a knack for teaching. You have a very unique gift of being able to teach and make things so plain. I can't tell you how many teachers I've been through but as soon as I stumbled across your website, I knew this was something different. Your videos have taught me more in a few hours than I've paid hundreds of dollars for in the past. I pray that you stay encouraged and continue to do what you do."

Dorothy Ferguson, 45, Mississippi

Dear Friend,

How would you like to play all of your favorite Christmas classics like "O Come All Ye Faithful," "Silent Night," "The First Noel," and others... ALL BY EAR?

...And I don't mean simply teaching you chords and sending you on your way to tackle these songs on your own.

I'm talking about teaching you, step-by-step and over-the-shoulder, how to play these songs by ear with the process I've used to teach literally thousands of musicians around the world.

What better way to enjoy the holiday season than to be able to sit down at your piano and play all of your favorite Christmas songs by ear?

Listen...

I've taught a lot of people and get to hear the music-related requests and desires of tens of thousands of musicians every year. In other words:

I've come to recognize what musicians want.

... But not only that. Being a huge fan and instructor of music theory, ear-training, and an enthusiast of all kinds of music genres, I understand not only what musicians want, but also what they need in order to take their piano playing to the next level!

After literally hundreds of requests over the years to teach holiday tunes, I've finally locked myself in the studio with my production crew and have come up with the ultimate system to learning Christmas classics ... all by ear!

...And the best thing about it is:

I've designed the program so that it doesn't matter what your skill or experience level is. Regardless of whether you've been playing for a month or perhaps several years, you'll still benefit from my instruction.

 

Here's why:

There are three sections for every song I teach. The first section deals with the basic version of the song. This is the breakdown of the melody, harmony, and the associating chords that will be used to play the song. This is where a beginner would start (...but over time, my experienced students have benefited from my theoretical and basic approaches to learning songs so that's not to say that an experienced person would skip this section).

So, technically, by the time you finish the basic version of a song, you'll have what it takes to play the song exactly the way it should sound. It is then up to you whether or not to advance on to the extended version of the song.

The second section focuses on the extended version of the song. After you've broken down the anatomy of the song and have dissected it part-by-part in the basic section, the extended version will give you a countless number of ways to spice up the song. From left-hand enhancements to jazzy right-hand voicings... from fill-ins to runs and extended chord progressions, you'll give your basic version a complete make-over.

Finally, the third section is centered around accompanying a vocalist. You'll see, firsthand, how to use all the chords, progressions, and melody lines with a live singer! This will also allow you to observe the differences between the basic and extended versions in live performance mode!

One comment though.

When I say "basic" and "extended," I'm not making one better than the other.

Believe it or not, some people like holiday music, as is (without all the fancy voicings and add-ons). Others like to play their songs spiced up. That's why I've included all of these different versions. You'll get to decide what you learn --- instead of having to buy separate courses and paying more for different levels of training (as some recommended me to do).

Just before I show you the details of my program, here's a few things about myself:

Finally, you can start learning Christmas songs with your entire family, in the comfort of your own home without using sheet music or paying more than $30 a lesson this holiday season!

...Don't get me wrong. If you can afford it, there's nothing wrong with having a piano teacher. This course, however, will get straight to the point and teach you how to play your favorite Christmas songs by ear so you can enjoy them during this holiday season!

 

Here is what you'll gain from studying with me:

Discover the secrets to playing Christmas songs without sheet music by understanding primary triads, chordal alterations, and circular progressions (...Don't worry if you don't know what these things mean --- I'm going to explain all of this)!

  How to find the melody of your favorite Christmas classics in a few minutes and how to literally transform the melody into a full-sounding song in less than 30 minutes!

An over-the-shoulder look at how to use JUST seven chords to harmonize virtually any series of melodic intervals.

Impress your family and friends during this holiday season by mastering Christmas classics like "Silent Night," "The First Noel," "Go Tell It On The Mountain," and more!

Discover how knowing major scales can drastically decrease how long it takes to learn your favorite Christmas songs.

Enjoy learning the "number-system approach" and how this method will allow you to pick up virtually any song by ear --- Christmas, gospel, jazz, blues, pop, etc!

Train your ear to recognize famous Christmas chord patterns and common melodic intervals and how they are present in majority of holiday songs!

Find out how to properly use arpeggios both on your left and right hands and how they enhance your playing tremendously.

 

 

Learn several variations of each song so you never have to play these Christmas classics the same way every time!

Discover the power of "inversions" and how changing one note in your chord can totally alter the way a progression sounds!   Beginners: How to play an entire song with only three-fingered major chords (...also known as "major triads").   How to add fuel to your bass by understanding how "power" chords work in holiday music.   Discover the power of "walk downs" with basic primary chords (...you'll learn this in "Silent Night")!   How to sneak in "filler 13th chords" on your right hand to keep your holiday songs sounding full at all times.

 

 

...There's more!

How to use split chords (e.g. - "Cmaj / Eb" or "Fmin / D") and superimposed voicings to add spice to a chord progression!

The power of altered chords like "Db13#11," "C7#9#5," "Abmin7b5," "Bb9#5," "G7#5," and how they totally change the feel of a song!

How to easily substitute 4 and 5-fingered chord like min7, dom9, maj11, and dim7 for basic triad chords to add depth to your playing!

How to utilize the strength and pull of 2-5-1, 7-3-6, and 1-4 chord progressions in holiday songs like Silent Night, The First Noel, O Come All Ye Faithful, and more!

How to play "Go Tell It On The Mountain" in a churchy praise style! I'm talking about bass lines, runs, fill-ins, and more (...similar to GospelKeys^TM 300 and GospelKeys^TM 500)! See example below

From beginning to end: How to play every song, step-by-step, with no guessing (whatsoever) or any information left out! By the end of this course, you'll have what it takes to fully play all of these Christmas songs by ear... guaranteed!

"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!

"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

"Hear and Play is one of the best things that have happened to me and my fiancé!"

"We Thank You... We Thank You... We Thank God!

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! Albert and Tempie (THE WINNING TEAM) http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/Tempie

"I believe watching and learning is a faster way to learn"

"I hope for more dvds to come out to keep learning more!"

Hello, My name is Nigel Vera Jackson. I live in Puerto Rico. I have GospelKeys 202, 300, 500, ChristmasKeys, GospelKeys Ultimate Collection, and I have learned a lot from them because I combine all the styles into one, since every teacher has their own style. I believe watching and learning is a faster way to learn. I am blessed to have friends in the HearandPlay Zone and Jermaine Griggs for these dvd courses. I watch them just about everyday and hope for more dvds to come out to keep learning more. Thanks again J. Griggs! Nigel Vera Jackson http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/nigelverajackson

"Classically Trained at Julliard!"

"Playing Gospel Has Always Been One of Lonnie's Goals"

I Thank God for the Gospelkeys courses. Classically trained at Juilliard by some of the best, playing gospel was always a goal of mine. The inspiration I received from Griggs, The Hear & Play web site, community, and my new friends is awesome!         I've ordered GospelKeys 300, 202, and the Ultimate Gospel course, and I am well on my way to my goal. Thank too you all. God Bless, Lonnie Evans http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/Lon

"Just the clarity of the course through its theoretical and concise nature... justified my entire investment!"

"I now play just about any keyboard instrument put in front of me --- event a grand piano!"

Rising from troubled musical history, I have found that Hear&Play has been fundamentally helpful in getting me back into playing the piano and keyboard. I was in a position where I found I had some excess cash.  I asked my family if they wanted the money and they said, "Treat yourself" so I (...cautiously) decided to buy a keyboard. I knew a few things but realized how much more I had to learn; the keyboard actually owned me!   To resolve this I ordered the GK202SE course. Within weeks, I was up to date and hungry for more! The clarity of the course through its theoretical and concise nature, the helpfulness of the zone, archived telephone lessons, and the audio postcards justified my investment. Now not only do I own my keyboard, but now I can play just about any keyboard instrument put in front of me --- even a Grand Piano!   Roderick Timmerman http://zonel.hearandplay.com/pages/Xilo

"He's been playing for 40 years and in a matter of minutes, saw and heard many aspects of playing that he could never get his wits around!"

"She was trained in classical music and could only play what was in front of her...

But now, she's improvising and constantly improving her ability to play what she hears!"

I am truly blessed to have found this website. I took music lessons in my youth and never really took playing seriously. I was trained in classical music and could only play what was in front of me.

With the help of The Gospel Keys courses and unlimited community assistance, I am learning all kinds of tricks and have a renewed excitement about playing the piano. I never thought I could master the art of improvisation, coming up with fill-ins to sheet music and other venues, but now I am not only doing fill-ins but am improving my ability to play what I HEAR!

"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 or whatever. A lot of y'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 free lessons to prove or disprove my reservations about this course. After doing the free 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!" God Blesses, Ed http://zone.hearandplay.com/pages/Born4Greatness

"...Since purchasing the course, I am currently playing for three different churches!"

"...and I play in all styles now, not just gospel."

"God sent me to you! I'd encourage anyone to read every single word of this site!"

Here's what you'll get:

1. ChristmasKeys^TM Disc 1: "Christmas Classics" (by ear)

==> Over twelve segments of useful information and examples. Each song is broken into multiple segments that show basic, extended, and vocal arrangements of each song! So... it doesn't matter if you're a beginner or experienced, you can go directly to the segments that best fit your needs --- or study the entire course from beginning to end. It's all up to you.

==> Emphasis of all techniques to guarantee that you never miss a beat. I will never quickly fly through anything that I teach you. In fact, I usually play all examples more than two or three times and reinforce what I'm teaching with visual aids like titles, on-screen descriptions, and more!

==> Over-the-shoulder camera angles, close-ups, and panning so you don't miss one single beat

==> On screen demonstrations of key information, including major scales, chords, progressions, determination of melody / harmony, alterations, and more!

==> Timely titles and textual assistance for all melody notes, chord names, and left-hand/right-hand keys to play.

==> Convenient drop-down boxes containing lyrics and notes to all songs, displayed slowly, line-by-line.

==> Three strategically-designed approaches to learning every song: Basic version, Extended version, and Vocalist version. Regardless of whether you're a beginner or experienced, you'll be able to focus on the sections that best suit your needs (...from a very basic version to play each song to a more enhanced and extended version with a live vocalist)!

==>  Picture-in-Picture mode which shows the instructor talking in the corner of the screen while showing the expanded view of the keyboard for enhanced learning and key points.

==> Animated, on-screen learning tools that keep you focused on the right information on the screen (...there's actually a box that moves around so that you know exactly what chord to play --- and WHEN to play it)!

==> Easy-to-Use chapter markers and menu selections designed so that you can skip from the basic to the extended and vocalist sections of each song!

That's not all...

BONUS: ChristmasKeys^TM Disc 2: "Christmas Classics Continued"

This second disc is loaded with more songs, chords, progressions, and full sequences (with recorded bass guitar, drums, organ, and keyboard) so you can see how some of the songs sound with a full band!

==> Enjoy learning "extra" fill-ins, churchy bass runs, and right-hand chordal movements that you can incorporate into your Christmas songs right away!

==> Watch Jermaine's mini-talk on what Christmas means to him as he tries to fight the urge to preach a sermon at the end of his course!  :)

==> Enjoy vocal demonstrations of every song so that you'll know exactly where to use all the chords, progressions, and fill-ins taught in the course.

This could have easily sold separately (as many have suggested) for $29 to $35 but it's yours absolutely free as part of this comprehensive program.

Ok... Ok... Ok...

Here. Let's make a deal...

If you're truly serious about learning Christmas classics by ear during this holiday season, then you won't have a problem with this deal --- at all. Just to recap:

You'll be getting ChristmasKeys^TM Disc 1 AND ChristmasKeys^TM Disc 2 (a $35 value by itself). Together, these discs total a whopping three hours of step-by-step instruction.

For all of this, I could very well charge over $75 and still get tons of orders for this three-hour / 2-disc set (wouldn't you agree) ? I know 1 and 2-hour courses out there selling for $60+ so I definitely know the going rate for such valuable information like this.

With values at $35.95 per 90-minute dvd (...and even $35 / disc is a giveaway), that price would be well justified. But I'm not going to charge you $75. I'm not going to even charge you $50... or $45.

Even though the price is extremely reasonable (about the cost of dinner for two at a mediocre restaurant), here's what's really important. If this program was just another useless 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 SILVER DIME.

But if you can learn just a few new Christmas classics, dozens of chords, tons progressions, and more, what is that actually worth to you? If you'll finally be able to sit down at your piano during the holiday season and play Christmas carols like you've been desiring to over the years, what is this course worth to you?

I can't put an exact dollar figure on it for you --- only you can do that. But I can tell you this: at $43, this program could very possibly be the best bargain and the best Christmas investment and gift you'll ever make in terms of your musical growth. Click here if you're ready to take your piano playing to a new level.
