Play Music People

Play Music People is a community and teaching space built on one simple belief: music is not just for musicians. It is for everyone. It lives in your body, your voice, your heart — waiting to be remembered.

Here you will find guitar teachings, mantra music, kirtan, singing circles, sound journeys, and community gatherings — all rooted in the idea that music is a healing tool, a meditation, and one of the most joyful things a human being can do.

This is not about performance. It is about connection — to yourself, to others, and to something larger.

Our Manifesto Play Music People!
Music is wisdom, music is care,
Music is a wonder, music's always there.
Come what may, it's living in your soul,
But music needs you too, like the seed needs the soil.
Music is a hug, what existence gives you.
Music is hope which you can give too.
Music is the dope what gives you strength,
Music is a drug, which makes you dance.
Music is vibration, just like you and me,
That part of creation which we can hear.
Tool, medium, weapon and shield,
It can make you explode and it can make you chilled.
Whether you feel in heaven or you feel like you're in hell,
Music can tell anything what nothing else can tell.
Music is the light with which you can see in the dark,
Music is the light through the ears to the heart.
Music is a playground, do whatever you want!
Music is in you whether you know it or not.
Do not lock it up and it will bring you so much joy,
Give it to the children, it's the most awesome toy!
Music is the language of the god within you,
Music is a prayer to meet with the real you.
Let it come through, shall it bring you tears or joy,
Playing music is like a massage to the soul.
Many times when you think you can't,
Music shows you: yes you can.
Music shapes you, you shape the world,
Let's play together from our hearts and our message will be heard.

Who Is Greg With Peace?

Musician  ·  Teacher  ·  Community builder  ·  Human being.

My name is Greg With Peace.

Born Gergely Szabados, raised in Hungary, now rooted in the Sintra hills of Portugal.

I have been playing music my whole life, but for a long time I kept it mostly to myself. Then something shifted. I started sharing — in forests, in yoga studios, at the ocean, in living rooms — and I discovered that music does something to people when it is offered with openness and love.

It breaks things open. It brings people together. It reminds them of something they forgot they knew.

That is what Play Music People is about. Not performance. Not perfection. But the real, living, breathing thing that music is when it flows freely between people.

I teach guitar, I lead kirtan and singing circles, I organize retreats and gatherings — all grounded in the belief that music is medicine. That it heals. That it connects. That it is one of the most profound gifts available to every single human being on this planet.

You don’t need talent. You don’t need experience. You just need the willingness to begin.

The Philosophy

Music Is For Everyone

Music is not a performance skill. It is a life skill. Anyone can learn to play. Anyone can find their voice. The only barrier is the story we tell ourselves.

Community is the instrument. When people make music together, something happens that cannot happen alone. The circle is the teaching.

Healing is not complicated. Sometimes all it takes is a song, a guitar, and a circle of open hearts.

A sacred music gathering
