& the Hack the Piano Methodology

Your Instructor

Hi, I'm Coen.

Like virtually anybody, 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 ...

... and so I quit.

Many years later, at age 17, when I saw my fellow classmates playing like rock-stars at our yearly school concert, I promised myself I was going to learn to play too. So, I went back to that old way of playing from sheet music, which -again- did NOT make me sound like my favorite artists AT ALL... and I almost gave up entirely.

Then, following the guidance of a talented guitarist-friend of mine, I taught myself how to play piano using his approach: by Chords. 4 years later I got accepted into the Conservatory of Amsterdam (major Pop-Piano / Vocals).

Now, 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 in the world and taught over 140,000 people worldwide how to play piano without sheets.
Hack the Piano is the methodology and backbone of all my playing & teaching.
It's the definitive guide on 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, Deluxe Online Training Experience.

It takes my premium online courses-program "the Chord Piano BluePrint" and combines it with hands-on, step-by-step guidance in the form of workshops and BootCamps.

Not only will it teach you the exact ways I used to accomplish all of the above and create beautiful piano accompaniments that sound just like those of my favorite musical heroes - Elton, Billy, Stevie - without ever having needed a single sheet, but it will also help you actually implement it all.

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.

How to STOP being a slave to sheet music ..
.. & never quite sounding like your favorite artists do.

Dear fellow Pop-Piano-lover, 

If you suffer from “sheet-music-dependance,” “stuck-playing-the-same-old-boring-tunes-inertia” or just have no clue how to listen through the “cloud of sound” that is music and actually reproduce what you hear on your favorite records… 

If you are tired of putting in all that time learning a tune only to find out you are not sounding like your favorite artist at all, or feel insecure and incapable when you do not have your sheet music at hand then this message is just for you. Here’s why…

There is a system you can learn that allows you to play any of your favorite songs within minutes in stead of days, actually sounding like the pianos on the record (because this is the very system actual pro players use themselves) without ever needing any sheet music.

And you need to realize, there is a cost to not dealing with this…

If You Ignore The Fact That Something Is Inherently Wrong With Learning Piano The "Normal" (i.e. Traditional) Way, It Just Gets Worse

What most people do when they try to learn piano and face the fact that they can’t quite get “that sound” of their favorite artist, is take lessons from a certified (but classically trained) teacher… 

... try to find the sheet-music online… 

...maybe scavenge YouTube in search for that perfect tutorial or try every shiny new online course. 

But for most people, none of that works.

  • The primary problem is having the wrong mindset. Thinking that, to play piano, one needs to be able to read sheet music (you don't).
  • Certified teachers are “classically” trained. They have a traditional approach to playing, which is at best decent for learning classical music, but doesn’t work for any pop style (rock, blues, jazz, funk, soul, jazz, hiphop, dance, singer-songwriter etc.) at all.
  • Most of the stuff you’ll find online are gimmicky schemes that are bad for your form and even the way you’ll approach learning music for the rest of your life - stagnating your growth forever.
  • Every half-decent lesson that is out there - that is at least taught by a credible, trained professional - falls back on that dated, traditional system, because that is how piano is “supposed to be taught.” (spoiler: it’s not)
  • Let me ask you this: Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheets when playing? Exactly. That’s because they understand how music works - that is what you should be after too.

And what happens if you just do nothing? If you just keep doing what you’ve been doing? 

You’ll never understand how those “talented” guys (they are not) are able to just sit down and play dozens of YOUR favorites by heart and sound so fricking awesome.

Nor will you ever be able to play anything like that yourself. You’ll just be stuck fidgeting with those same old sheets, finger-wrestling for weeks on end, to finally be able to play a few boring tunes that nobody enjoys listening to.

"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!"

How I “hacked” the piano and discovered the secret to sounding like an actual musician.

I’ve got an answer that works. Here’s the short story:

As a child, I went down the traditional, “classical” path too - and failed miserably. 

Abandoning piano entirely out of sheer frustration. After hours and hours of decoding those horrible lines-and-dots-on-paper, having boring exercises crammed down my throat while never seeing any exciting progress. 

I still didn’t sound like my favorite tunes AT ALL - just like you..?

Then, years later, I asked a guitarist friend of mine - who could literally play dozens of songs by heart - how ON EARTH he was able to do that, without needing any sheet music!?

When he told me “you just need to know your chords!” - this got me thinking.

What if I could play “guitar chords” on piano? Was piano really so different...?

Turns out it’s not.

After figuring out how to translate these “guitar chords” to the piano and how to turn them into flowing, moving, grooving piano parts by adding “patterns” (pretty much like those strums and plucks that guitarists use) not only was I suddenly able to learn dozens, even hundreds of my favorite tunes REALLY fast (and play them by heart), but also: I actually sounded like the original records!

Turns out this is actually the “secret” that pro “pop” (think singer-songwriters like Elton John, Billie Joel, Stevie Wonder, Jamie Cullum, Norah Jones, d'Angelo, Ben Folds, Chris Martin -Coldplay-, Tom Odell, Bruce Hornsby, Paul McCartney, John Legend, Alicia Keys etc.) players use to sound the way they do (and enables them even to play tunes on the piano, that are originally played on a guitar!). 

After this exact method got me into the Conservatory after just 4 years of playing, I figured I needed to create a framework out of it to teach people that there is a better way to learn piano.

So I worked really hard to create a system that makes learning piano (and actually understanding music) really simple.

I started testing this system on my students and - although they all had the same amazing experience as I had - because they had to come see me in person to learn it, they were also each paying me a premium of $8000+ per year..

Another downside was that my limited time allowed me to help only a few students at a time. Then I had an idea:

“What if I deconstruct my entire approach the way it had helped me deconstruct music, then mould it into an online-program experience like no other..”

“What if I could create an experience that would be virtually the same as having me there at the piano in person...

...explaining every little nuance to sounding like the big artists - the Eltons, the Billies, the Stevies...

...that could help many more people learn my exact approach, in their very own tempo, on their own schedule...

...and that I could offer for only a fraction of the costs?”

Chord Piano Formula is a complete pop-piano process that will show you how to play modern piano arrangements, sounding just like when your favorite pop-piano artists would play them, without ever needing traditional sheets againby Chords, Ear & Heart, using Chords & Patterns.

Using a combination of video, text and exercises, each lesson gradually takes you to the next level. Step-by-step, concise and to-the-point.

You'll internalize each concept in the fastest, most effective way possible.

You'll learn:

The M.A.L. (Music As A Language) Framework

  • music's three core pillars (and how to use them to play pop-piano)
  • how to play piano "like a guitarist" - by Chords, Ear & Heart (without ever needing sheets)
  • how Chord Piano is different from the "traditional" approach (and how it will teach you to play and sound like you want to much faster, with greater understanding and more freedom)
  • how to approach music like a language and learn in the most natural, effective way possible (and play just like Elton, Billy, Stevie or any of your popular musical heroes)

Piano Chords

  • how to build any and every chord on the piano
  • how to turn standard triads into hip-sounding ear-candy
  • where chords come from and how you can build any of them yourself - without ever needing any reference material again
  • how to actually use scales (hint: not for boring exercises, but to add color to your music)
  • how to get that lush, warm, soulful sound you hear the pros use all the time

Piano Patterns & Techniques

  • how to add rhythm & groove
  • how to break-up chords & create flowing arrangements
  • how to phrase chords
  • how to connect one chord to the next with "in between" melodic/rhythmic phrases
  • how to use the given harmonic information to form riffs, fills, licks & melodies

... but most importantly where everything stems from, so that you'll gain a foundational understanding to (re-)create everything yourself in all of your future playing.

After completing this program you'll never need any reference material ever again, and will be able to play your very own rendition for any chord-progression, turning it into a full-blown pop-piano arrangement, by ear & heart.

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.” Structures 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. Chords show 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. Patterns will teach the building blocks that allow you to turn any set of notes into a flowing, grooving, moving piano part.

Accompanists

Whether you'd like to play with others in a band, or accompany anyone's singing (including your own).

Producers

Understanding music's foundational building blocks will improve your arrangements, hooks, licks and riffs. 

... and all piano-enthusiasts looking to play arrangements like they are actually played by artist like Billy, Elton, Ray, Stevie, Jamie, Alicia et. al. - enjoying themselves, friends or family.

Finally It's Your Turn

Chord Piano Formula, 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.

It all comes as part of Chord Piano Formula, the complete Hack the Piano online training program, which we used to sell for €999, but I'm offering it here to you for only €499 €199* (nuts).

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.

It's Decision Time...

You have a choice to make ... 

Do what you’ve been doing (or worse, do nothing at all). You know where that will lead. Is that really where you want to go?

Or take a new action, and get a new result:

Finally understand what makes the Eltons, the Billies, the Stevies, the Pauls, the Jamies or any other favorite artist of yours sound the way they do and play anything you want, by ear - without ever being a slave to your sheet music again.

Which do you really want for yourself? 

Thank you for reading this letter.

I hope you'll enjoy this program!

Can't wait to welcome you inside.

 Yours Truly, 

P.S.

In case you're one of those people (like me) who just scroll to the end of the page to find the TL;DR - here's the deal:

Chord Piano Formula is our all access program.

It consists out of a few different, step-by-step, integrated parts.

the Chord Piano BluePrint is the core of the curriculum - a self-paced course that teaches (aspiring) singers, songwriters, pop-pianists and accompanists how to play arrangements just like the pop-piano greats (think Billy Joel, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Jamie Cullum, et. al.).

You'll sound like them because this course will teach you how to think like them and approach piano in the actual way they do too - by Chords, by Ear, by Heart.

All those great players are completely free from needing sheets, and so will you be - you won't need sheets, ever again.

Just playing freely, from the heart.

Add our *NEW* fail-proof, 12-step, week-by-week or month-by-month implementation plan with our Chord Piano MasterClass BootCamp PLUS the unbelievable and unbeatable aspects of our included Chord Piano Mastery Vault - that tie everything together with clear scheduling, step-by-step trajectories to follow, practice routines and so much more and....

Together they form our Chord Piano Formula Program.

This bundle-program gives you access to a Pop-Piano curriculum that represents +/- 10 years worth of music education (were they to ever teach you how this actual "real deal" approach works - which they don't) and will thus save you roughly €20000 in tuition fees.

The difference?

It will take you mere months to learn to play and sound like you've always wanted to.

Heaps of money & time saved.

(besides sounding legit and being able to create any type of rendition, on the spot... imagine the wonderful feeling of such freedom)

Before coming across your BootCamp, 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.

This BootCamp 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!

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.

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.

Following this bootcamp 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!

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.

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.

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%.

…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.

You're doing a FANTASTIC thing here and I truly admire your altruistic approach

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!
Giovanni

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.

FAQ

Most frequent questions and answers

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. 

All of my teaching, including this premium program, you'll find inside of Piano Lingo (our premium online Pop-Piano academy) is based on the Hack the Piano methodology.

Chord Piano Formula is my complete flagship program. It represents the full bundle of what I have to offer, synergistically integrated and optimized for the fastest route to your piano success.

The Chord Piano BluePrint course represents the full core curriculum to learn to play pop-piano by Chords, Ear & Heart - i.e. play in the exact same way that your favorite artists play too.

It's a completely unique system & approach worth 10+ years of piano education (if it were taught anywhere else) that can be finished in mere months. 

See the many 5-star reviews from students who keep telling us they learned more about music in weeks from this program than what they learned in their entire life from other lessons combined.

The included 12-week/month implementation MasterClass BootCamp & the rest of the Chord Piano Mastery-collection allow for a deep-dive into the world of chord-piano, putting Piano Hacking into practice in a guided, structured, step-by-step way. It will help you actually implement and integrate everything.

The Chord Piano BluePrint (Complete Edition) is our core self-paced curriculum, offering lifetime access to key modules for mastering pop piano.

Chord Piano Formula is a bundle that includes everything in the BluePrint (lifetime access) plus one full year access to Chord Piano Mastery (Gold membership), which adds the Chord Piano MasterClass (seven integrated BootCamps) and the Vault, featuring advanced workshops and practice sessions for skill-building, integration and practical application.

No.

Chord Piano Mastery is an add-on membership that helps you implement and apply everything you learn in the BluePrint.

The programs are integrated. Plus - without the BluePrint, Mastery would make little sense.

You can sign up for both at the same time with the bundle offer we call "Chord Piano Formula."

This includes both the BluePrint and Chord Piano Mastery.

Whenever you want them to!

These are so-called "Like Live" editions of our (previously held live) premium BootCamps, meaning that - even though these are the exact same programs - they are based on recordings and there is thus no need to wait for anything to go live. 

These LikeLive editions represent an incredible value. 

People have paid up to €999 to attend a live edition of JUST ONE of the NINE* BootCamps included with Chord Piano Formula, with the downside of having to wait for their actual cohort to start, show up on specific times for classes etc...

But you don't want to wait. You want to start NOW. Right? 

That's why we have decided to make these *scalable* (i.e. suitable for any level) programs digitally available in streaming "Like Live" format while preserving virtually all of its live benefits.

It allows you to hop on board now

Start learning what you want to play today

Re-watch and re-do the program as often as you like (scaling up and getting more advanced with every go-round). 

Convenience up, price down.

Now THAT's a deal

*the MasterClass BootCamp is a merger of: the OnRamp BootCamp (3 prior editions), the Platinum BootCamp (3 prior editions) and Singer/Songwriters' BootCamp (1 prior edition)  - that's 7 prior programs that were previously sold for up to €999 each... an absolutely insane value.

€299 to sign up today.

Then -only if you want to stay a member and keep access to all "Mastery" components after a year- €99/year.

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.

Not quite. 

It is a bundle that includes a free year access to our membership as a free gift. 

Essentially, you are buying all 4 of our courses (Bare Essential Keys to Harmony; Piano Chords Magic; Pop-Piano Patterns and Advanced Piano Hacks) - a €457 value when bought separately - at the reduced price of just €199. 

As a bonus gift, you also get a year's worth of Chord Piano Mastery membership (another €99 value) included for free. 

Yes. If you buy all 4 Chord Piano BluePrint courses separately, you'll have the option to sign up for Chord Piano Mastery (Gold Membership).

However, you'll miss out on the savings you'll get by singing up for Chord Piano Formula as an incredibly well-priced bundle.

For owners of the complete BluePrint we have the option to subscribe to Chord Piano Mastery at the regular €99/year subscription fee. 

Lifetime Access to the BluePrint courses.

You'll get a full year of Chord Piano Mastery (Gold membership) included for free too. If you want to stay a member after the year, you can do so at just €99/year.

If you do not want to stay a member, you can cancel at anytime before the next billing. 

No. 

You can cancel the included (one year free) Chord Piano Mastery membership at anytime before the next billing to prevent it from renewing.

This has NO effect on access to your courses - which, with this bundle, you are BUYING and are thus yours to keep forever. 

When you cancel your membership you will only lose access to everything included with Chord Piano Mastery (BootCamps, Workshops, Song Breakdowns, Practice Sessions etc.). 

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).

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
