- You'll be stuck on dull, boring tunes and exercises
- You won't sound like your favorite artists do
- You'll waste time and money deciphering an ancient writing, learning a wrong approach, with wrong results

Musical Structures
How to Use Music's Building Blocks to Play Anything By Heart
Playing music shouldn’t be so hard to learn. Sadly though, for many people, it forever remains a “cloud of sound.” These 5 mini courses lift the cloud to show you the fundament hiding below and how to use that framework to quickly learn, remember and play any song by heart.
Chords
How to Build, Grab and "Say" Music's "Words"
Most budding pianists don’t sound like the real deal at all, because they approach music on a by-note-basis. Real musicians play by Chords, which is why they sound so full.
These 9 mini courses teach you the way real musicians play, using the full harmonic spectrum, which opens the door to playing full and rich-sounding.
Patterns
How to Add Rhythm and Flow to Your Playing
Unfortunately, for most people, creating flowing piano parts is like trying to speak fluent Chinese - hard, at best. These 4 mini courses will teach the building blocks that allow you to turn any set of notes into a flowing, grooving, moving piano part.
Extensions
How to Spice Up and Sophisticate Your Chords
Unfortunately, most chords played on piano still sound bland. These 3 mini courses will show you the next phase in voicing, “sophisticating” your chords to take them from juvenile to mature.
Embellishments
How to "Perk Up" Your Playing With Licks & Fills
Licks, riffs, fills. Alluring to most and - as nothing but “cheap tricks” - misused by many. These 2 mini courses will show you the correct ways, mindset, origin and application of any type of improvisation - from a quick grace note, to a full-blown solo.
Re:Harmonization
How to Use Music's Building Blocks to (re)Write Music
Expressing yourself through music shouldn’t be a mystery. Sadly though coming up with anything not written on paper remains a guessing game for most people. These 4 mini courses will teach the different value each chord has within a song and how you can use that to your advantage when composing yourself - either when improvising, adapting a known tune, or when writing your own, full-blown songs.
Scales
How to Use Music's "Dialects" To Add Color & Flair
Many people consider scales (the "sub" layer) to be boring sequences of notes that have to be repeated endlessly, purely to create nimble-fingeredness. These 4 mini courses will show you that scales are far from boring when you use them in the correct ways - as musical dialects for a profound musical understanding.

what our Students say
"You took the mystery out of what I hear when I listen to contemporary piano and that’s not to say that your approach is good just for pop piano. I think it’s THE best way to learn piano!"
GiovanniItaly 
"It's such a great program, because it is very organized and explains the information in a logical way.
It is great because you can repeat the lessons until you get it down completely. "
WinstonUSA 
"…if you want to sit at any piano and play popular music for your family and friends-, if you want a basis to create music towards becoming a professional musician-, no matter the reason you are coming to the piano this is the program you want to take."
VictorianaArgentina 
"This is most likely to be the best that you'll find when it comes to learning how to play the piano. I've been taught classically for over 10 yrs now but was jealous in seeing a guitarist being able to pick up songs very easily, this program will enable you to that. Its top notch."
JonathanNorway 
"I can't say enough about how easy to understand, and well put together this program is. I started letting my kids, ages 9&11, work on this program and ended up having to buy two more keyboards because they were always playing and learning lol"
KevinUSA 
"..a breath of fresh air. Coen offers thorough piano theory along with chord knowledge backed up with superb videos providing visual demonstrations of the subject of the lesson. He also provides wonderful tips for effective practice. This is not work, this is fun."
HarsantFrance 
"This method has saved me time and effort as it has been well written so not to confuse the reader. It opens a pathway of consciousness into the world of music."

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Coen.
Like virtually everybody, when I started out playing piano at age 4 I was "forced" down the traditional path of learning how to read sheet music too. That didn't work out ...
joining Us is easy
Finally Actually Sounding like your favorite artist is as easy as 1, 2, 3 ...
Music as a language - the no-sheets approach
piano "like a guitarist"
Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheet music?
Probably not, right?
That's because modern music isn't played from sheets.
Actually, since music is in fact a language, learning to read before you can speak seems completely backwards - whatever style we're talking about.
Guitarists get this. They first learn to strum chords - the equivalent of speaking words.
99% of them keeps approaching music this way forever, learning how to build riffs, licks and even entire solos out of those fundamental musical "chunks" called Chords (& Patterns).
But while guitarists are having all the fun, piano is still stuck in this outdated system.
Here we do things differently.
We teach our students how to understand the musical language, and "say" (play) anything they want, using its foundational concepts - chords (music's "words") and patterns (music's "pronunciation") - just like guitarists.
You'll learn building blocks that can be re-used in all music - so you never waist time deciphering and blindly regurgitating, but grow as a musician.
We call this Hacking the Piano.
It's the ultimate shortcut to finally actually sounding like you want - by ear.
