[@hearandplay]

Jon is an integral part of the gospel music training center. Members hear from here every week. Take care, JG

[@deborahwilson5862]

I've learned more in three day then I did in the past few mouths. Thank you for sharing your gift.

[@sjurick]

Jermaine. I started getting serious about my piano back in the summer of '05. I bought a Motif ES8 and your big Hear and Play package. A few months after that I decided to take real lessons and have been for about 3.5 years. My reading skills are getting much better but something was still missing. You're two free videos have changed my music life as it were. I completely think about chords in a different way! Thank you for what you do and please keep the info coming! GOD bless you!

[@AndyLaskey]

Hi Jermaine I used to play from sheet music and after a motor cycle accident I lost the ability to play well you can imagine how devestated I was as Music has always been my life. Thank you so much for creating the Hear to Play videos:) You have given me a new lease of life and I will be eternally grateful toi you.

[@DrDAP]

Hi Jermaine, I am so pleased with the flash card format. Having been a teacher and using this tool so often, I can really appreciate what you have done. I have acquired a great understanding of the structure of music and the theory that no one else has ever tried to teach. I am so happy to have you as my mentor in learning to play by ear. Thank you again. Debra Ann Petitan

[@Modelcitizenmusic]

Thank you for all the help you are giving to novice keyboardists. Your lessons are simple yet effective.

[@spoetryqueen]

hi jermaine, i just want you to know how much of a blessing you have been in my life.i prayed for years for someone to break down what they knew so anyone could understand it. as i practice i get it.thanks from all of us spoetryqueen

[@weedsmokindrummer]

omg . . . you rock. . . you remind me of a friend who is a keyboard genius. It's people like You who help make others prosper and flourish musically. much props brother!

[@geraldinelam6984]

In my whole life I have not met a music teacher who goes to the extent of making flash cards and even teaches students how to get them printed correctly. JG is one dedicated, passionate teacher who's more interested in us learning than in showing off his skills. Thank you Jermaine!

[@UniqueTouch]

Mr. Griggs...wow the 28pg dwnload is awsome.!!! Been trying to figure this KEY thing and figurein out in what KEy and 2-5-1 thing in each key and I finally have an avenue to learn this!!! WOW...Im impressed Sir!!! This gives me hands on homework if you will...something tangible to work with that I can see and feel and physically use to study and place in my mind!!! Thank for this Mr. Griggs!!! May you never lose your humbleness and desire to help us beginners. Angelo from Reading, Pa.!!!!

[@thekeldelify]

Hi jermaine, just want to thank you so much for the information you are freely giving. You have no idea how much this information is helping me> I dont have the means to take lessons at this moment, but recently turned to the piano to help distract from hard situations> i can't get enough of it. I have always struggled in school because i have a little more difficulty learning, so i have to study twice as hard and not only study, but (hear it see it and do it ) asked god for help. he answered. u

[@APRIMEProspect]

No doubt that this information is invaluable. It may take a while to fully understand and practice piano but I believe the Lord sent me to your website for a reason. Thank you so much Jermaine for making my love of music flourish through the ability to play piano.

[@johnsweeney8677]

Thanks so much for taking the time to do this and share it with us for free Jermaine. I bought your 4 step course and it's taught me years worth of musical knowledge in a couple of days! Keep up the great work - it really is appreciated

[@irenerichards280]

Hi Jermaine,. This afternoon I watched my second video and believe me I am impressed with the presentation. Believe me I am new to this, but I really do want to learn to play my keyboard so that I can play when I sing at church. I am not able to follow that quickly, but the fact that I can download and print the lesson I am certain I will get it. Thanks a million. You are a genius at what you do. You make learning seem easy and I am not scared to take the challenge. God bless you richly.

[@07theblessing]

Wow! You have been a great help and an encourager to playing piano, Mr. Jermaine. May you be blessed, always!

[@jannieloo]

Jermaine. . . .all I can say is WOW! I am starting to see ! Thank you soooooo much!!

[@EdwinCDJR]

Thank You! Mr. Griggs, I was stuck on the same playing and practice for a while but now I have a big chunk of meat to chew on and practice and apply in service, keep letting yourself being lead by the Lord. Isn't it nice to be B.A.D. (Blessed And Delivered) :)

[@hearandplay]

If you know your scales, then start studying the difference between "chord" tones, "neighboring" tones (upper and lower), "passing" tones, and "escape" tones. But most IMPORTANTLY, listen to a lot of music. The best melodies are inspired by other ones. A melody can come from a video game... a jingle on tv... a past song... the blending of more than one melody... a ring tone. Then you take that inspiration and combine it with the "rules" from the aforementioned concepts. Hope this helps. JG

[@YolandaRevealed]

I cannot express how much this means to me. I have always tried to play by ear but I became very discouraged and stopped. Its been 15 plus years and now I finally see that I can really learn to play.

[@jolsen99]

Hey Jermaine, thanks so much for this video and the flash cards. I have been struggling for two years as a new pianist and this information is the missing link that I have desperately been seeking. The flahs cards and videos are going to be such a huge boost and I can;t thank you enough for your time and generosity!

[@craigfredriksson763]

This is great. This is what we are learning in music theory class. This will make it a lot more easier to understand it all. Thank you.

[@romespc]

Brotha, thank you soo much for sharing this concept. I've been playing for quite some time and no one has ever broken it down, most cats tell you learn ur scales, but never told me to learn numbers.

[@nkemebenezer]

this is great work you have done again Mr. Jermaine so so inspiring and straightforward. well explained in simple terms

[@jazzj9272]

I tell you Germaine you're the greatest. I try other teachers but man a feel you man!!!

[@aking0309]

Jermain this is EXACTLY what I needed! Those flash cards are IT! Gimme a week and I'll race you haha! Keep doing what you do. Thank You

[@timsims8674]

Mr Griggs yo have enlightened and increased my learning capacity in the Theory of music that I already knew but had gotten away from it. A refresher is always good to recharge how music is approached and handled with thought and precision. I continue to watch you videos and will share on my facebook and Gmail.

[@Bell_TheBarber]

thank you thank you, i'm a 14 year old drummer tryin to get on keys and this is wonderful man, beacuase it truly does get frustrating God bless, keep it up

[@ronaldasocco]

Thanks a lot. You are the best and very generous to offer free great instructions for a young budding pianist like me. Keep up your good work. - Ron S.

[@ChevonneReynolds]

Man this is really good stuff!!! Thank you so much Jermaine..may God continue to bless you and your family.

[@pathworker2010]

theese video lessons are awesome, especially with the 28 page supporting documentation, btw , the info on your web site is top notch. never seen anything like it anywhere else.

[@gnramon]

God Bless you , your insights and lessons are most appreciated!

[@MrPkfire]

your are absolutely amazing Jermaine thank you, i really love your videos that pertain to all musicians they are EXTREMELY helpful!! awesome job man thanks a ton i appreciate you taking your time to give us a hand!!!!!!!

[@hearandplay]

you'll be happy to know that every course has been digitized. probably in a couple months you'll see the release of digital goods and instant delivery of video. it'll be cool ;-)

[@hearandplay]

There's actually about 12 or more videos of him in our channel. Have you checked them out? He also has about 20+ hours of instruction in the training center. That's probably your best bet.

[@sx28golfer]

Jermaine! Thank you so much for all of your help! Your truly inspiring! Your Friend, Stephen

[@stoner20030]

Hi, Day 2, printed out the cards yesterday, went through them again today, getting quicker but find it hard without rolling up the piano. definitely helping, thanks.

[@jayagopi1]

thanks Jermaine. Very nice and generous of you man. Very useful stuff. Take care and God Bless. cheers, jay

[@lenoreedge2953]

Thank You, I'm so grateful for this instruction. I'm feeling a lot more confident in these music areas. Thank You. Totally AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@esthernorinedesigns]

Hello Jermaine, thank you for the flash cards. I think this will help me get the chord progressions in two seconds flat and I know my music director at church is trying to teach me this. Thanks again!

[@37mricha]

thanks for this helpful method... it will let me focus on what i wanted to learn and do it in less time, thanks again

[@zoe19891022]

hi,just fantastic! i just finished the lesson,then i found the link..surely i printed out! thanks from Netherlands!

[@TabernacleGirl]

You are a God-sent gift... thanks for sharing

[@MMSanchezNY]

Thank you so much for this service and this video, you are an amazing educator.

[@amjPeace]

Thank you for remembering how it feels to be a beginner. I still feel like one, even after a few years of lessons.LOL The light is beginning to dawn, though and I thank you for that.

[@JAFOpty]

Awesome vid, also cool to see the screenshot from the old old you tube interface

[@calvincjred]

Really love the way you are making it understandable

[@keithwashington8462]

Thanks for all the help and blessings. God is using you. This I know.

[@mrmelody17]

Jermaine, Praise God for you man and your willing and giving spirit to help Gods people and other people that desire to play by ear. I have a question, Im a(n) seasoned mucisian and I know you talk about chord progressions and how that works, however as a mucisian I dont want to skip around the piano trying to play these progressions lol....,

[@hejinghan]

thanks for your generosity, God bless you.

[@blessingkafwanka6419]

Very Helpful. Thanks a lot Jermaine.

[@jptierno]

Excellent! Rev. John Tierno

[@JasonAKMitchell86]

TRULY A BLESSING TO US ALL!!!!!

[@turksonjehoshephat3387]

Downloaded,nice and awesome thanks man for your gifts

[@Vortigon]

Another excellent video! Would be great to see more guitar stuff to, I know you are mainly piano but I think it would be a perfect area for you to cover if possible. :)

[@GabeTrevisan]

Thanks for helping out!!

[@kimberlydaniels1542]

this video has helped me a lot thank you

[@automaticintuition]

Wow this is great. Seriously useful.

[@ashgyrl30]

Dont change!!! You are perfect ..

[@hearandplay]

@bboyfabolous1994 You can have a friend print. You can go to fedex kinkos and have them print. You can print online and have it sent to you. You can join a flash card site and transfer all the questions by hand to the site and have it quiz you (a member did this and sent me link). Remember, there is always an easy solutions to most problems. Big problems are things you can't easily solve like cancer. Everything else is simple!

[@tanham007]

EXTREMELY helpful.

[@horlahyhemy]

thanks for this,it has been helpful

[@jmack04]

Hmmmm.....I know my numbers but I guess I never tried to work on an exercise to get really quick at calling on the numbers....This is good....Thanks. Also, what I've been working on is remembering the most commonly used chords with each tone of the scale. Some of the chords are long so I've been working on naming them with the inversions.

[@mommy3ts]

thank you I wish I could get one on one time God bless

[@donaldchindito8415]

Gret stuff right here....thanks a lot

[@caramelpipe]

thanks appreciate All the help

[@desmondanderson1107]

i really appreciated your programe

[@TiffWorships]

Appreciate this soooo much! thank you :))

[@JusBlaze29]

where do I go to find more of jonathan Powell videos on hearandplay. Do I have to go on the channel and if I do how do I do that?

[@SIGNATURESOUNDZ]

Jermaine do you have any advice on melodies? I have all the major scales under my fingers and I constantly just practice my major minor scales I have the number system down pat and can create chord progressions but I want to make memorable melodies over these progressions.

[@mrmelody17]

so what is a good way to learn inversions with these progressions, obviously the master musician is not skiping around their keyboard or organ etc.. lol..... I dont know how to move with the progressions and inversions especially with 7ths 9ths 11ths and 13ths... .if you get what im saying. Any course(s) that can help me with this? Thanks for your time and generosity.

[@ebonyfirstlady1]

Hi Jermaine, It's Dot Hardison. My computer crashed and I lost everything from you that I've had from when you started. Please tell me what I can do to get everything back. You've helped me a lot, but lost it. I miss it very much. I've been very ill and God has blessed to return. I'm about to write my books. So please help me if you can and will. Thanks Dot

[@tazthabarber]

Will printing these flash cards out. Will they work if I printed them on business card stock?

[@SIGNATURESOUNDZ]

Thanks for the advice. So if I use chords in say Bb min I would just use that scale? I was thinking I should use a different scale for every chord. Is this logical? Say I do a progression in a key with no modulations I just would use the scale of the key Im in or a variation of it?

[@777maine777]

AWESOME !!!!!!!!!!!

[@ashgyrl30]

I need to find out where to start. I dont know the number system.. but I play by ear. Im just tired of my southern gospel way of playing.. I want some variety. Where would you recommend I start?

[@yolimarmartinez6291]

Can you add the flashcards for the minor keys?

[@chanellbrooks6845]

Love It!!!

[@jef1755]

Hello Jermain, i need assistance with which hear and play i need to order, i do want to order that 300 pg book. I currently play at my church and would love so direction

[@hearandplay]

haha, i only said it once. you don't like "stoked?" I like the way it sounds. Excited sounds more common to me. But just for you ashgyrl30, I will mix up my vocabulary? how's that? :-)

[@ministerwinford]

Hey is a B min and a B dim the same chord PS. I am a beginner so I mostly just play triads

[@MorbidBeatz]

Jermaine, quick question on this. Is this supposed to be a memorization thing? When I see the front of the flashcard I am actually picturing a keyboard in my mind, and figuring it out. 90% of the times coming up with the correct answer. Is this not the way I should go about studying these cards?

[@bevesmusic]

what if you can hear the music but cant put the chords together do you give personal lessons

[@Stashondatracs]

Nice...

[@bboyalesha]

thank you hommie

[@ashgyrl30]

Baby--im just kidding you! You are the absolute greatest!!!

[@hv2623]

This would be amazing in an app.

[@JusBlaze29]

oook so when will we ever see him again?

[@JusBlaze29]

no I didnt check the channel.... but I will look and see him...

[@zinokeys5271]

love it

[@neelakandanp9107]

thanks for video

[@Idocmanthey]

I knew all this stuff but I am trying to teach a budding musician at church. Just trying to pas what I know to others. Not looking to get paid.

[@kamakapella]

you are the frikin man. but whats the deal? its past christmas already. haha. thanks a bunch

[@hearandplay]

hehe, print out those flash cards and you'll be beating me after one night of doing them!

[@hearandplay]

You must not be putting it in right... make sure you're typing in /numbers after my main website.

[@APRIMEProspect]

you must play the video to get the link to the website.

[@JusBlaze29]

what ever happen to your friend Jonathan Powell?

[@tylus17]

You got that PREEMIUM paper haha thanks Jermaine

[@ashgyrl30]

Basically I want to start from the beginning...

[@seandavid8945]

thank you bro for the key`s help sean aka mclocco

[@joannhal]

18 minutes to explain flashcards and number system. A lot of instructional videos (not just this one), take too long to explain simple concepts. Your first video was much more useful, but a little long as well. Thanks for your help.
