We're interested in developing programs and projects that fundamentally impact populations of people. 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. WHAT IS SIMPLY MUSIC PIANO? HOW SIMPLY MUSIC BEGAN About the Founder Meet the man behind Simply Music Neil Moore is the Founder of the Simply Music Institute of Learning & Education.

It’s been some time since I’ve spoken to you all as a whole about how this period has affected me, and more importantly, where I am now in regard to Simply Music, our future, and the greater possibility we’re here to serve. So, I wanted to send this update today and speak to that directly. The simple answer is that my commitment has not been diminished. In fact, in many respects, my belief is stronger than ever. I’m certainly not saying that these last few years have been easy. They haven’t. And, as many of you know, the Simply Music journey has never really been easy. Since its formal beginning, on January 1st, 1998, we’ve had a long and complex history. There have been wonderful moments, extraordinary breakthroughs, and countless lives impacted in deeply meaningful ways. But there have also been difficulties, disappointments, delays, setbacks, and times when far more things did not work out than did. I’m not interested in pretending otherwise. Yet I don’t relate to any of this as something that has happened to us. I see it as something that has happened for us. And, frankly, I see much of it as something that has happened for me. There are things I could’ve done better. I could’ve been more consistent. I could’ve been more aggressive in amplifying my voice and the message. I could’ve done more to bring public awareness to what I know we have created. And I take responsibility for that. At the same time, I remain enormously proud of what Simply Music is. Even after all these years, I believe that the Simply Music method is still the finest, entry-level Teacher Training  program available in the world. I believe it remains one of the most original contributions to music education in generations. I believe that what we’ve created is not merely a different way of teaching piano, but a fundamentally different way of relating to music learning, music teaching, musicality, and human potential. At its core, and as each of you know, Simply Music is built on a premise of fundamental importance: all human beings, without exception, are deeply, naturally, and profoundly musical. This has always been our starting point. It remains our starting point. And I believe it’s more important now than ever before. A few years ago, I began to see a new and larger context for our work. That became the essence of my book, Music on Mars, and the core of the message I’ve been sharing in my TEDx Talk, my Oxford Talk, my M.I.T presentation, and on other stages. My message remains consistent. We’re moving into a future that will be redefined by technology. These technologies are not merely going to change a few industries. They’re going to redefine life on earth. They’re going to redefine work, education, relationships, identity, and, ultimately, what it means to be human. And whilst much about that future is unpredictable, one thing is very clear: humanity is going to need to become more creative than ever before. Not creative in the narrow sense of being artistic or decorative or expressive. I mean creativity at the most practical level—the ability to see things differently, think about things differently, and do things differently. The ability to adapt, adjust, solve problems, identify opportunity, and bring something new into reality. That kind of creativity will become a critical human asset. And what’s so extraordinary is that, at the very same time that technology is accelerating so rapidly, we’re also gaining new insight into the unique impact that musicianship has on the brain. Learning how to play music provides the brain with critical neurological nutrition that develops neural connectivity, and strengthens the very machinery that supports creative capability. This, to me, is not a small idea. It means that music education has a new and elevated role to play in the world. And it means that Simply Music has a new and elevated role to play as well. We have a method that connects people to their natural musicianship quickly, naturally, and successfully. We have a method that dismantles many of the barriers that have kept the majority of people from experiencing music as a lifelong companion. We have a method that allows children, teens, adults, and elders to immediately experience their natural musianship and the self-affirming power of playing music. That matters. Now more than ever. It matters in your studios. It matters in the lives of your students. It matters in the lives of their families. And I believe it matters in the broader context of where humanity is heading. I also want to speak directly about technology and AI. I know that many of you are not particularly tech-savvy. I know that many of you may feel resistant to technology, and I know that some of you feel especially resistant to AI. I understand that. I really do. But whether or not we personally feel ready for this new world, it has arrived and it will keep arriving. Your students will be engaging with AI. Their parents will be. Their schools will be. Their workplaces will be. Their communities will be. In one way or another, all of us will be interacting with these technologies across multiple platforms and in multiple areas of life. So the question is not whether this wave is coming. It’s already here, and it’s just beginning. The question is whether we will resist it, ignore it, or learn how to understand it well enough to use it in service of our greater purpose. And that’s how I am choosing to relate to it. I see technology as making what we do even more important. The more technologically advanced the world becomes, the more important it will be for human beings to be connected to their creativity, their adaptability, their emotional depth, their self-expression, their relationships, and their humanity. That is the arena in which music has always lived. And that’s the arena in which Simply Music has something powerful to contribute. Now, as you also know, in order to grow Simply Music and support a greater level of impact, we needed a new administrative and technology platform. Our existing systems were developed in a very different era. They served us for a long time, but are now dated and incapable of supporting real growth. A few years ago, I took on the project of building a new platform from the ground up. That project became far more complex, far more problematic, and far more expensive than expected. Ultimately, after an independent audit, it became clear that we needed to stop that project completely and begin again from the ground up. That was a very significant blow. It’s had a major financial impact. It’s caused disruption for our administration, for our team, and for many of you and your student families. I know that. And I want to acknowledge the patience, loyalty, and support that so many of you have shown throughout what has been, at times, a very bumpy road. I am deeply grateful for that. In some respects, we’re now beginning again. We’re doing so incrementally. We’re doing so with very limited resources. We’re doing so more carefully, more thoughtfully, and with a much clearer understanding of what’s needed. But I want you to know this: the interruption of one technology project is not the interruption of the Simply Music project. The Simply Music project is alive. The Simply Music possibility is alive. And my commitment to building the biggest, brightest, most effective version of Simply Music is alive. I also want to say that this next chapter cannot be about me alone. It never really has been. Yes, I need to amplify my voice. Yes, I need to be more visible. Yes, I need to speak more consistently into the world about what Simply Music is and why it matters. But we also need to develop a stronger collective voice. This is why you’ll begin hearing more regular updates from me, and also from our team members. I want our teacher community to feel more connected to, and supported by the Simply Music team, and I want our student community to feel increasingly connected to the larger movement that they’re part of. We need to strengthen the connective tissue between all of us. Because this is not merely an organization. It’s not merely a method. It’s not merely a curriculum. It’s a global community of people who are standing for the possibility that music can, and should belong to everyone. And each of you plays a part in that. Every time you sit with a student who believes they are not musical, and you help them discover that they are, you are contributing to this possibility. Every time you help a parent understand the nature of the long-term relationship, you are contributing to this possibility. Every time you help a student build repertoire, self-expression, creativity, and discipline, you are contributing to this possibility. And every time you teach Simply Music with care, patience, professionalism, and belief, you are helping to keep this movement alive. So where am I at? I’m inspired. I’m sober about the challenges. I’m clear that we have a great deal of work to do. I’m aware that we will need to be disciplined, resourceful, and patient. And I’m more convinced than ever that Simply Music has an important role to play in the world. We’ve ridden some very complex and turbulent whitewater rapids. But we’re still here. The method is still extraordinary. The need is greater than ever. The future is opening in front of us. And together, if we remain united, engaged, and clear about what we’re really here to do, we can create a louder voice, a stronger presence, and a far greater impact than we have ever produced before. Thank you for your loyalty. Thank you for your patience. Thank you for your belief in this program. And thank you for the work you continue to do with your students and families. I remain deeply proud of Simply Music. I remain deeply proud of, and grateful to you. And I remain absolutely committed to the future we are building together. With love and appreciation, Neil April 26, 2026 - Platform Update & New Role April 18, 2026 - Moving Forward It’s been several months since my last update. A lot has been happening in the background, and I wanted to give you a brief update on where things are at. I don’t have any major news regarding the new technology platform. Most of you are aware of what’s happened over the last three years, and the incredibly complex history we have had with this project. This breakdown has provided us with the opportunity to pause, re-assess, re-group, further educate ourselves, and re-think how we approach the entire upgrade of the inner workings of Simply Music and our administration platform. It’s also given us the opportunity to look at things from ‘Ground Zero’, re-connect with the fundamentals that Simply Music was built on, re-connect with the foundation of what this project is about, and begin to take steps forward that are completely aligned with the ethos that gave birth to Simply Music in the first place. Starting next week, will be approaching our updates somewhat differently. Rather than providing you with my video updates every month or two, and these being typically quite long, we’ll be moving to more frequent and more brief, specific updates. Some will be video updates from me, others will be coming from the team. The intention is for our updates to address one or two items at a time, and having them occur far more regularly. Communication with our teacher and student community will become an even higher priority Today, I want to provide you with a copy of our original Foundation Statement. I first developed this in 1999. It was a fundamental part of the genesis of Simply Music. It represents who we are as an organization, and what it is that we are committed to. It’s so important that this document remain at the forefront of our communications, as it is the aligning document that influences the choices and decisions that we make. I’d like you all to have a copy of this as you, and every Simply Music educator, are an integral part of the vision of this project. I’d also like to provide you with a book that I recently produced. In moving forward, and as we bring more public awareness about Simply Music, this book is something that we’ll be providing to people who are interested in becoming Simply Music teachers. It also serves a reminder to our existing community of how important a role we play in what it is that we contribute to the world. I hope that it helps you to reconnect or deepen your existing connection to how you are contributing to the creative capability of humanity. Moving forward, expect to hear from me or one of our Team Members at least once each week. And as I said earlier, these last few years have been uniquely complicated and difficult, and I thank you all, once again, for the outpouring of support that we have received from so many of you. It’s deeply meaningful to all of us here at Simply Music. Dec 22, 2025 - Tech Update & Year End Watch ALL Video Updates HERE LEGACY SITE INFORMATION For teachers NEW to the Legacy Site.

Watch the video #### Special Needs Simply Music Gateway Fostering musical expression in those with learning differences THE POWERFUL STORY OF JEWELS, AUTISM & MUSIC Students with special needs Musical self-expression provides a new means of communication Over our decades-long history, many students with special needs and learning differences have experienced amazing success with our core curriculum – the Simply Music program. In certain instances, for some students, the processing and learning differences are so profound that an entirely different approach is warranted in order to allow access to the music within. For these students, we have developed the Simply Music Gateway Program. This includes, but is not limited to, students with: ADD / ADHD Dyslexia Fetal Alcohol Syndrome Down Syndrome Autism Spectrum Muscular Dystrophy Blindness/Hearing loss Certain brain trauma Alzheimer’s Disease Abnormalities of hands/fingers Cognitive Delay Spina Bifida What is Simply Music Gateway? Transforming the learning experience of those with special needs The Simply Music Gateway program (SMG) is a unique, adaptive piano curriculum that has been created in order to give students with profound special needs and learning differences the opportunity to have music making be a real and meaningful part of their lives. Simply Music Gateway is a step-by-step learning experience. Through a creative, improvisational approach using multisensory channels, the student can "play" the piano while processing the basics and developing new and important skills. The Gateway benefits Improves fine motor skills Decreases agitated behavior Increases willingness to socialize Enhances cognitive function Increases memory Decreases anxiety Increases attention Improves sensory-motor function Increases self-awareness Increases focus Enhances self-expression Increases confidence The Curriculum Music provides a new means of communication The elements of music, rhythm, harmony and melody provide pathways to non-verbal communication that express feelings and ideas, and stimulate speech in those that have difficulty expressing themselves with language. Fine motor skills are developed, and processing issues and learning differences are addressed by focusing on one sensory system at a time.SMG isolates the different sensory systems, such as visual processing, fine motor development, and auditory training, while incorporating the music used in the Simply Music curriculum. As these songs are modified for the needs of the individual, students will quickly become familiar with and incorporate the songs into the learning process, with each new learning step reflecting the student's level of understanding.

He couldn’t look you in the eye. I so wanted Jewels to be “typical” or “normal”. I did not know how to connect with him. A lot of children with autism don’t have the ability to speak. For Jewels, music is his voice. For him, it’s been everything. Your gift to my child, the Simply Music program's gift, became his gift to me.”Mary Harrison Parent"As a result of a spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage, I sustained a serious brain injury and was no longer engaged in gainful employment. With the help of my care-provider, we found Simply Music. It has been of fantastic benefit to me, in that it enabled me to play the piano immediately. It encourages the brain to forge new pathways, enhancing healing! It's the glue that's bringing my brain back together."Teresa Killeen Simply Music student“Savannah is 9 years old and is severely affected by autism. Simply Music has been great for her fundamental core building and belief in herself. The consistency and continuity of this program has had a profound effect on her. Savannah is now able to express herself musically and loves to make musical sense on the keyboard.”Giselle Roznicki Parent #### Special Needs old URL: https://simplymusic.com/special-needs-old/ #### Special Needs-old URL: https://simplymusic.com/gateway/ #### Students Being A Simply Music Student A new way to learn piano WHAT STUDENTS HAVE TO SAY Our piano program All human beings, without exception, are deeply and naturally musical In the same way that we all learn to speak years before we learn to read and spell, Simply Music temporarily delays music reading and immerses students in the experience of immediately playing great-sounding music.Our unique method replaces traditional music reading with engaging play-based concepts directly on the keyboard.

We then switched him to Simply Music and he now plays blues, jazz and classical pieces. He LOVES piano now.” Rebecca Bolin Parent"Not only has Simply Music impacted the world, but it has touched my life and the lives of each of my family members. I had no idea when I first came across it that this program would absolutely change the course of my life." Tarasine Buck Simply Music Student“I started Simply Music to stimulate my aging brain. I'm 80 years old. The effect this program has had on my cognitive function has been extraordinary. I am 80 years old, and feel like I’m living proof that learning the piano this way slows the decline of an aging brain. The amount of work and talent that has gone into creating this program is extraordinary."Veronica Nicholls Simply Music Student"Speaking as a professional composer, I'm impressed with the way the Simply Music program has been constructed. My nine-year-old son is not only playing the songs in the Simply Music repertory, he's improvising his own tunes, reading chord changes, and teaching himself new songs.

How it works All human beings, without exception, are deeply, naturally and profoundly musical Simply Music is defined as a playing-based method. We teach students how to play piano by immersing them in the actual experience of playing piano. Within months their repertoire includes contemporary, classical and blues styles. We also provide training in the areas of accompaniment, arrangements, composition and improvisation.We delay music reading and the formal aspects of technique and theory until students have built a repertoire of 35-50 songs covering a variety of musical styles and genres. With no attention on having to read music, students are free to relate directly to the piano.

You will have an opportunity to have all of your questions answered, as well as get a clear sense of whether Simply Music is a good fit for you. Set up a call “I’ve learned what it means to be an entrepreneur, and what it means to have value within yourself. Even though I was feeling insecure because I was only an adult-trained musician, I was able to go out there and tell the world, “Hey, I have something in my hands that can perhaps transform your life… I know, because it’s transformed my life.”Bernadette Ashby Simply Music Teacher“I had years of classical experience, but Simply Music music gave me a whole new color palette to play with. I started feeling more freedom, to know what to do, to create my own arrangements, to take a chord sheet and be able to fill in gaps. I was able to scaffold my own learning.”Lisa Blasi Simply Music Teacher“I’m a classically trained violinist and self-taught jazz pianist. When I first spent three days at a Simply Music Teacher Training workshop it was an emotional high. I saw students who had had only eight lessons, play eleven songs from four different genres. The confidence of every student was like nothing I’ve ever seen. The approach not only makes sense, it makes me wonder why educators ever thought they should teach music in the way that they have, for so long.”Dane Andrus Simply Music Teacher #### Teachers-old URL: https://simplymusic.com/teachers-old/ #### Terms & conditions Terms & Conditions Thank you for visiting a Simply Music LLC website, including simplymusic.com, simplymusicpiano.com, simplymusiconline.com, teachers.simplymusic.com, students.simplymusic.com, simplymusiceducators.com, simpedia.info or simplymusicaccordion.com.
