- "it’s THE best way to start with when learning piano"

"Since reading your excellent Hack The Piano my head has been bursting with ideas on how to apply what I was reading to my piano playing. It took the mystery out of what I hear when I listen to contemporary pop piano parts and that’s not to say that the approach is good just for pop piano. I think it’s THE best way to start with when learning piano! You obviously put lot of care and thought into it. It’s exactly what I was looking for!"

Is This For Me ?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this for me?

Hack the Piano is a self-study program to learn Piano through a harmony approach. Although the lessons in its core course are carefully laid out for you to follow in a “course flow,” you’re free to mix-and-match (there’s no obligation to wait or do any particular lesson before another). It starts at the very basics. It's perfect if you are a beginner, if you're just starting out with playing chords on piano, if you want to transition from playing sheets to playing by ear, or if you think you can learn something new about how to find any type of chord, play ‘em with broken patterns and color them with extensions.

What are Add-Ons?

The heart of Hack the Piano is its 56-lesson course program. "Add-Ons" are extra lesson-modules that add to-, enhance-, go deeper- and/or allow you to practice and apply the skills and knowledge from the course. There's song lessons, exercises, licks, advanced course modules, live streaming lessons and more. They are all taught following the Hack the Piano approach. (Only available for those on Hack the Piano)

Which version should I choose - what's the difference?

Both “The Entertainer” and “The Player” give access to the complete online -core- course program. The difference is that “The Entertainer” is a subscription: you pay a recurring fee -either monthly or yearly- for access (think Spotify, Netflix, etc.), whilst “The Player“ is the one single payment (non-recurring) granting access to the online course for a year AND additional downloads - the Guide (essentially the “core program” in ebook format), all videos, MIDI files of examples, Cheat Sheets and Practice Beats. With the Player, after one year, your online course access will automatically expire. You are then offered the option to stay on board (at a 30% discount) to keep your online access, or you can choose to just go ahead with the downloads only. With The Entertainer, you’ll be automatically billed after each term and keep your access until you cancel, which you can do at any time before the next billing and you won't be billed again (no terms, no lock-in).

Which Songs are included?

Hack the Piano teaches fundamental concepts. It’s a global approach to really learn and understand music. This is not bound to (a) specific song(s). That is why we only guide and give suggestions, (there are even a few examples using songs), but as soon as possible in the course YOU are left free to choose the songs you want to learn/practice with yourself. So the concrete answer: none, and and the same time - every song you can imagine. Our "Songs" Add-On consist of single, per-song premium & deluxe tutorials for particular songs. You can check out its current song list here.

Can I do this without a teacher?

Most definitely. It’s built as a complete self-study program.

I want to learn how to accompany myself or my friend while singing, can I learn this?

YES! This -as well as other types of playing with others (for instance in a band), improvising and writing your own music- are some of the coolest things you can do with the material in this course.
