- Alex Leow – The Founder
Alex Leow initially started as a self taught musician at the age of 9 when he discovered that he could play any music he heard without the use of music notations. He found it more fulfilling than the mainstream music lessons given by a tutor that his father hired to teach him privately and later, was motivated to compile and systemize the method so that others can acquire this skill.
His career in music began when in 1979, as a product demonstrator for a large music company. In 1985, he came to the realization that many music students are missing out on that one vital ingredient that makes music enjoyable, meaningful, fun and rewarding. Thus he formed the company “Play By Ear Sdn. Bhd.” to champion the cause. The media has noticed and published this method in 1996.
Besides being a musician & music educator, he is also IT savvy and created a CRM to manage practically every aspect of the company. Licensees, coaches and authorized personnel can have access to the company system worldwide without having to be physically present at the office. Alex Leow, after viewing the scenery of the music industry fo 26 years, believes that he should, as a legacy to the music industry, offer what he has created it to other music schools to help them up to another level). “It is no point being selfish to keep something good to yourself when you can add value to your fellow beings” he opined.
Today, Play By Ear has relocated from Malaysia and is now located in Bangkok, Thailand serving customers worldwide as far as the USA.

If you want to use our services, please note the following:
* All training are one-to-one and conducted online and we have designed it to be way, way much more effective than offline face to face classes utilizing the modern trappings of online learning. Potential clients must be prepared to learn this way; or be willing to be guided how to do it.
* The Play By Ear method is designed to simulate the way the talented musicians learn to play and make music using their sense of hearing and feelings minus the years they used to take to get there. It is not like the normal “play for fun courses” offered everywhere which is for the casual amateurs who just want to play only their own favorite songs without learning or understanding the principles behind it.
* The ability to understand concepts is important to embark on this program. In this respect, we only accept children and adults above the age of 9. However, if you believe you or your child is precocious, you may request for an audition.
* Now that you understand the uniqueness of our approach (not used elsewhere), you will understand we are not the cheapest around (if that is what you are looking for) BUT we give a money back guarantee (to protect your investment) if we cannot produce results in you. We hope you understand we are not catering to the masses but only to a specific group of people who seriously want to master the art of making music.
