I’m Neil Moore, a musician, educator, and visionary, and the founder of Simply Music, a global pioneer in playing-based music education. The Simply Music program is based on how I experienced music as a child—hearing it and visualizing shapes and patterns. This unique approach has transformed how quickly and easily people can teach and play music, democratizing the process for both teachers and students. Today, a global community of licensed educators shares this method, and our student community spans 135 countries. Originally from Melbourne, Australia, my family and I immigrated to the United States in 1994.
