Elton John & Billy Joel are Masters...
Masters of Chord Piano.
As two of the founders of modern pop-piano, they have managed to create and record some of the most inspiring contemporary piano parts.
So, how do they do it?
How do they transform seemingly simple chords into their magical piano accompaniments, riffs and intros? How do they think? What do they play exactly?
That is what these Play Like Elton & Play Like Billy BootCamps show - how to apply the Chord Piano BluePrint's concepts, to play piano parts EXACTLY like them - step by step.
2 Artist-Focussed BootCamps.
4 Weeks Each.
12 Workshops.
Many Iconic Style-Traits.
These step-by-step programs are built around four hands-on workshops.
Each week we'll tackle a specific trademark stylistic layer of Sir Elton, or Billy Joel's iconic sound [chords & voicings - patterns, techniques & feel - signature fills & licks - overall style] using one or more of their fantastic songs as vessels to exemplify and demonstrate.
"Play Like" BootCamps help you apply the Chord Piano BluePrint's concepts like a specific artist - emulating their signature style.

It Worked For These People, And It Will Work For You
Here’s what Piano Hacking did for me...
..play anything within minutes, without ever having to decipher any sheet music...
... which has saved me a cumulative years of precious time, not spent slogging, but spent with loved ones ...
...improvise...
...get myself into the Conservatory of Amsterdam after just 4 years of playing (no I’m not that talented - I simply found this better way)...
...write my own music and publish a solo album...
...get collaboration deal offers and my system (this very system) featured by Yamaha and Roland...
...be the “Piano Man” when having the best time singing our favorite tunes at family gatherings...
...find dear friends through playing music...
...hone an amazing creative outlet for relaxation and fun.
And it’s not just me.
Over the past 8 years, thousands of people from all over the world have been learning to play their favorite tunes in no time using my system:
"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, Hack the Piano will enable you to that. It's top notch."

Finally It's Your Turn
the Chord Piano BluePrint, will give you the key to...
- Playing any of your favorite tunes - finally actually sounding like the piano on the record
- Breaking free from sheet music - no more hours of deciphering, no more dependence
- Being able to sit at any piano or keyboard and play what you (and everybody else) actually enjoys listening to
- Playing freely, flowing, grooving, improvising, by ear, by heart.
- Learning new tunes in minutes in stead of days.
- Gaining oceans of time (and piles of cash) - saved on mind-numbing lessons and boring theory
- Understanding how music works, allowing you to improvise and even write your own music.
That’s right. A skillset that - might you even be able to find the right person to teach it to you - would cost you over $20000 and years of tedious lessons... is yours for only a fraction of that amount.
The Chord Piano BluePrint is the complete Pop-Piano system, which we used to sell for €999, but I'm offering it here to you for just €199 including a bonus bundle worth over €2000 (nuts).
And you are 100% safe to try it out. That’s all I’m suggesting. Just try it for 14 days to see if it works for you.
If it does, you’ll be delighted - and I think that’s exactly what’s about to happen. If for some reason you’re not delighted with all the new musical insights and ideas, the speed you’ll improve, learning the songs you love and the way you’ll make them sound - just like they do on the records - then just let me know and you’ll get all your money back.
Thanks for taking the time to read this page and I hope you enjoy this program!
We can't wait to welcome you inside.
Yours Truly,
P.S. People Really love it
Before using Piano Hacking, I thought music was just a bunch of notes on the page that I had to strenuously decipher in order to play. The Chord Piano BluePrint taught me to create music within the structure of chords. I learned that chords have patterns and relationships. I now interact with music on a whole new level!
Rachel
Piano Hacker
Before coming across your BluePrint, I had been learning on my own for many, many, many years. All I had to show for it was frustration and a very halted and hesitant sound.
After a few short months, your approach of “Chording” and music theory has replaced all of that with a significant improvement in my freedom, confidence and musicality.
I enjoy every moment I sit at my keyboard.
Thank you for your help! It’s been a life changing experience.
Darren
Piano Hacker
This Course was perfect for those that want to learn the ‘why’ behind their favorite pop songs! As a classically trained pianist, the focus was on the ‘how’ instead of the ‘why’. Now I have a much better understanding of chords and how they move the song where you want it to go. Thanks so much Coen!
Ken
Piano Hacker
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

This is a fantastic way to learn how to play the piano. In the past I have always been frustrated in learning to play the piano until I found Coen and the Hack the Piano Bootcamp.It is an easy to follow method and it is fun at the same time.
The lessons are in bite sizes and are easy to understand. It does need commitment and after a short while, you get to play your favourite songs on the piano. Highly recommended.

The Chord Piano BluePrint make piano accompaniment accessible without any deep theoretical musical background. It’s accessible but not “simplistic”.
Delphine
Piano Hacker
If you're looking to learn music in a more dynamic and less traditional way, then this piano bootcamp is definitely for you. It's very rare to come across this type of approach in traditional music classes, and I found it to be incredibly refreshing and inspiring. If you're feeling tired of reading music and like you're in a musical rut (like I was), then this course could be exactly what you need to reignite your passion for the piano. The instructor at the bootcamp is knowledgeable and enthusiastic, and he really emphasizes the importance of understanding the foundations and nature of music rather than just learning specific songs. This approach helped me to gain a deeper appreciation for the art of music and feel more confident in my own musical abilities. Overall, I highly recommend this piano bootcamp to anyone looking to break out of the traditional mold and approach music in a more creative and dynamic way. It was an incredibly enjoyable experience for me, and I think it could be for you too.
Reem

Following this BluePrint has allowed me to progress my playing at my own pace. Although i do not nearly spend enough time practicing, whatever practice i do happen to have is usually on the back of an amazing classic song. This makes practicing chords and chord progressions so much more fun!
Koen
Piano Hacker
The advantage the BluePrint 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.
Dave
Piano Hacker
I took years of piano lessons but still was unable to play anything without sheet music in front of me. I also could not break down a song and understand how it worked. I have made some excellent strides in this by taking BootCamp.
Willow
Piano Hacker
I have tried other courses and I have always ended up giving up, because what I wanted was to play piano accompaniment while I sing. This is the only course that allows you to learn that in a clear and structured way. I recommend it 100%.

How to play anything you want, by ear.
We will learn Pop Piano tricks, traits and techniques to actually understand music. This works on ALL songs and you are free to choose your own songs, to do the exercises and assignments with.
Since we are Amsterdam -and thus Europe- based, you'll be charged in Euros. The dollar price depends on the current conversion rate and optionally costs your bank or credit card company charges for the conversion. These costs are outside of our control unfortunately and conversion rates vary by day.
Please note that we cover any taxes.
The BluePrint program and bonus downloads —Nope. You'll get lifetime access to everything in there. Mastery is a membership to which you now get 3 full months completely free. After that you can choose to stay a member at just €8,25/month (billed yearly) or cancel before the 3 months end and you won't be billed for that at all. Cancelling Mastery will NOT cancel your access to the BluePrint and other bonuses.

It’s designed to perfectly complement your core curriculum (Chord Piano BluePrint) by giving you detailed, practical examples and step-by-step guidance to master chord-based piano playing in real-world songs and scenarios.

You'll get lifetime access to the BluePrint and bonus downloads and 3 months to Mastery.
Everything in this program is scalable and using the 6 pillars of chord-piano, we'll deconstruct and then build everything we do back up, gradually growing in level of difficulty.
You can "stop" (stick to) the level that's challenging, but not too difficult for you, which -whatever level that might be for you- will get you sounding very close to original records you listen to.
You can then redo the course later, going up to the next level.
Everything you need to know to play and sound like your favorite pop-piano singer-songwriters is there.
Everything you already know is easy to skip, or adapt to make it suitable for a level more advanced. (plus - repetition has never hurt a soul).
With that said, select the course that fits your current situation (see their descriptions).
Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheet music at any of his or her performances? Exactly.
That's because they play pop-piano: piano by chords. They know their chords, harmony-theory, voicings, patterns and how to play with those. This is how they form all of their piano parts and this is exactly what you'll learn in this program too.
Chord-piano. No sheet-music (only chord-sheets every now and then).
That's not a question! 🙂
Just kidding. You can ask me anything by simply sending an email to coen@piano-couture.com
A final note from Coen
Chord Piano — The Modern Approach
Sheet-music was developed hundreds of years ago...
A time when there were no other ways to record a tune that showed you how to play it (or let you even hear it)
Today, we live in a day and age where music is written, played and recorded differently.
So - why revert to that ancient system, when you want to play pop music and can use modern means to learn?
Why not learn the same approach your favorite pop-musicians use?
That's Chord Piano..
... a uniquely different system that teaches the actual approach that professional modern musicians use too ...
... an approach built on understanding music's foundational building blocks Chords ("what" to play) and Patterns ("how" to play).
It's much like learning a language - the language of music
Chords = words, Patterns = pronunciation.
And like with any language, you'll understand and be able to repeat what someone else says (plays).
So let me ask you...
What does playing "Pop-Piano" mean to you?
For everyone it’s different…
For some it means being able to just sit down at any piano and "be the piano-(wo)man" - entertaining the crowd, accompanying your vocals or their singing along, blasting out the occasional impressive lick...
For others it means creating your own arrangements, whether for existing songs to make covers and post them to Youtube, or even composing your very own music, in the studio or with a band...
and yet others … are just looking to enjoy yourselves and/or your friends and family in the comfort of your own home.
What will be the same for everyone though, is how to achieve their goal in the absolute fastest, most convenient way possible — with Chord Piano.
The Chord Piano BluePrint will show you how.
Become Everyone's Favorite
Piano (Wo)Man.
Finally actually sound like your favorite artists ..
.. without ever needing sheets again
