Who is this for?
Listen Play Grow is for adult musicians who are tired of relying on notation, TAB, chord sheets and the internet to tell them what to play.
WHAT DO I DO?
I help you escape the page and trust your ears.
Hear it. Find it. Play it. Make it yours.
WHY SHOULD YOU CARE?
Because you’d love to be able to…
- Learn songs by ear and remember them
- Sing and accompany yourself
- Jam and play with other musicians
- Improvise and make the music your own
- Play something when someone says, “Go on then…”
What Now?
Start hearing chord changes for yourself.
In this free lesson, I’ll show you a simple way to recognise three of the most common chord changes in music by ear, rather than having to look them up.
Want to Read The Book?
Listen Play Grow explores the idea that the music is already inside you, and how learning to listen more deeply can change the way you understand and make music.

Who am I?

I’m Andy. I’ve spent more than 30 years in music education, including 15 years as a visiting tutor at Royal Birmingham Conservatoire, alongside working as a professional musician.
For the past few years I’ve coached musicians online, helping them work towards their own musical goals, rely less on the page, develop their ears and become more confident, independent musicians.
And playing by ear came relatively late to me. That experience is a big part of why Listen Play Grow exists.

WHAT DO clients SAY?
“After working with Andy for a couple of months my relationship with music has changed dramatically. It makes sense and I feel confident about playing because I can feel where I’m going.” — Adrian
“I used to be pretty lost on mandolin and uke without sheet music in front of me. Andy’s approach completely shifted things for me.” – David
“I would never have dared to call myself a ‘musician’, but Andy convinced me that since I had learned everything by ear, I already was!” – Kay
