Musician, educator, and visionary Neil Moore is the founder of Simply Music, a global pioneer in playing-based music education. His Simply Music program codifies the way that music occurred to him as a young child—hearing music and visualizing shapes and patterns. His unique approach democratizes both music teaching and music learning, and transforms how quickly and easily people can learn to teach and play. A global community of licensed educators teach his Simply Music method, and his student community spans 135 countries. Moore is a native of Melbourne, Australia. He and his family immigrated to the United States in 1994.
