Clarity
Every week you'll receive an email with detailed instructions + link to the online course, where you'll find that week's lesson, exercises, assignment and workshops (2 per week).
Personalization
During the week, you'll practice your newfound skills using the scalable exercises and dive deeper into the main lesson's subjects, applying them in self-picked add-on course modules.
Guidance
At the end of the week, you turn in your assignment to have it graded, receive feedback and collect your points to unlock custom extras - all using music of your own choosing.

5/5
"The advantage the BootCamp afforded me was a crash course on the concepts, tools, rules of thumb, and “tricks of the trade” of pop piano that I can begin to apply on my path forward. A “normal” process would not have allowed me to see that path forward as Coen laid out in a comprehensive manner and yet a very short period of time."

"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. It's top notch."

Founder of Piano Couture & Piano Lingo
Creator of the Hack the Piano Method
Hi! I’m Coen.
I love to play the piano, sing, write, stay fit, eat, be healthy and take unconventional approaches and chances in life while teaching others how to do the same.
At age 17, I taught myself how to play piano. 4 years later I got accepted into the Conservatory of Amsterdam (major Pop-Piano / Vocals). Over the course of 18 years of playing, I've performed on stage extensively -both solo and in multiple bands- written and recorded with many different artists, became a Roland-featured instructor & one of the top-5 Youtube piano teachers of the world and taught over 120,000 people worldwide how to play piano.
Hack the Piano is the backbone-method of all my teaching.
It's the definitive guide to learn how I accomplished all of the above without ever reading a single sheet.
Chord Piano Formula is Hack the Piano evolved into a fully guided, Premium Online Training Program.
"Coen teaches in a manner easy to understand that makes the student eager to learn more... I love that I get to choose which music I want to learn/play... No matter the reason you are coming to the piano this is the program you want to take."

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!
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.
…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.
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.
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
..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.
