Neil Moore

Neil Moore is the founder of Simply Music, an international music education organization with over 700 locations worldwide. He also created the Simply Music piano method and composed much of the music used in the organization's piano programs.

In this key moment, Moore realized this approach might work more universally. He began designing materials and introducing the program to other young children and found that they quickly learned sophisticated music and gained a natural connection with it. He started testing his program more widely, with a range of ages, abilities, and teachers. He then expanded to reach older adults, students with developmental disabilities, and troubled youth. In every case, students found success. Not only did everyone learn to play piano, but they could also teach others how to play.
