Breakthroughs in creativity for humanity
Creating a world where everyone plays
From his earliest years, Neil Moore, the Founder of Simply Music and creator of the Simply Music Program, heard music and pictured it in his mind in terms of shapes and patterns. This relationship to music became the basis of his entire approach to learning and playing piano.
As an adult and a coach to traditional piano teachers, he had an opportunity to teach a young blind boy to play. Using his unique approach to music Neil taught the boy through shapes and patterns and subsequently discovered that his ‘playing-based’ approach could transform how quickly all piano students, of all ages, could learn to play. Thus began the foundation of what has become the world’s largest playing-based music education institution.
