To play anything you feel like, on the spot.

It might surprise you that this is not nearly as hard as it may seem.

It will fast-track your growth and save you years of frustrating trial and error.

Who is this for?

Whether you're just starting out and don't know a "c" from a "b," want to make your playing sound more mature by choosing more interesting voicings & broken-up patterns, or are ready to start adding fancy extensions and licks, Chord Piano Formula will help you: 

And all of this in the fastest- most convenient way possible.

Fully Guided Piano Hacking

What Sets Chord Piano Formula Apart From Any Other Program?

01 | Learn Piano Without Sheets

Contrary to popular belief, you don't need to read sheets to play piano. Think of guitarists. They learn to understand chords - music's building blocks. Piano and guitar are in fact very similar. Chord Piano Formula teaches piano using this "guitarists' approach" - you won't need sheets.

02 | Work A game

Even though music might already be the coolest thing ever, it still requires discipline to learn. Chord Piano Formula eases that pain, making learning fun by being set up like a game. Grow levels by acquiring eXPerience- & Ability Points completing lessons, exercises and passing quizzes to earn badges, certificates and unlock cool extras.

03 | Made By conservatory-graduated, performing professionals

The Hack the Piano methodology is based on years of experience from within the field. Made by actual musicians who have been doing this for a living for decades. This is how we do music. With the Chord Piano BootCamp we add that level of unprecedented guidance to help you learn the language of music.

04 | 135,000+ Students from all over the world

There’s a reason this program is so popular. Our strategies work across all styles of music and for musicians at virtually every stage of their journey.

05 | Unmatched guidance and help

Next to a carefully planned out, comprehensive, step-by-step online course plan, the 8-week BootCamp adds coaching calls, workshops, accountability, feedback, exercises, assignments & coaching. It's the closest you'll get to actual private lessons from a professional musician.

06 | 100% Money back guarantee

We’ve always backed our programs with a 100% satisfaction money-back guarantee. So you can rest assured that your investment is safe with us.

Join over 135,000 students worldwide who are succeeding with this approach

Here's What You'll Get.

Whatever you wish to play - with a scalable lesson-plan, exercises & assignments and selecting your own music to personalize your journey; plus accountability built right into its 8-week BootCamp, Chord Piano Formula shows you exactly what to do when.

Guiding you every step of the way, we’ll demystify music, take out any guesswork and learn exactly what makes pro players sound like pro players - and how you can use these qualities to improve all of your playing - so you can focus on what you want to learn in the fastest, most convenient way possible

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 using music of your own choosing.

Guidance

With the accountability course to support you through the journey, personal assignments and class-like workshops - we've taken out all the guesswork and paved the clearest path to playing anything you want in the shortest amount of time possible.

Training

Twelve, 90-minute workshops with demonstrations, exercises and hands-on musical breakdowns - all completely scalable - is where you'll get your hands dirty and mind spinning with all the new musical ideas.

"Coen's approach to teaching piano makes you think about music in a completely way. Instead of relying on sheet music, Coen teaches chords, patterns, rhythms, & licks."

Music's 6 Layers

In Chord Piano Formula, we'll deconstruct and take a look at how music is built. From 6 layers.

Each of those layers goes gradually deeper into more sophisticated levels of playing. 

The fun part? Learning to work with those layers allows you to scale any tune - either to fit your exact level, or to make it even more interesting than the original. That's improvisation. 

You'll learn not just how to play something in a specific song, but how to use effective musical traits in all of your playing.

Here's What's Included.

Chord Piano Formula is a synergistic bundle of integrated programs, consisting out of:
1: The Chord Piano BootCamp (Self-Serve Ed.); 2. The Chord Piano BluePrint; 3: The Chord Piano Accountability Course. 4: The Premium Songs Library; 5: Piano Lingo Gold;

All course materials - including workshops, streaming videos, audios, transcripts, handouts and add-on modules - are within the online student environment.

"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."

the content plan

Add-on mini-courses for each of music's 6 layers
Copious extra videos, images, audio examples & exercises to dive-deeper, leave no concept to doubt and completely personalize your learning experience.

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.

"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."

Your Instructor

Coen Modder

Roland-featured author/instructor
Founder of Piano Couture
Creator of the Hack the Piano Method

Hi! I’m Coen.

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). Talent? No. I blame finding this better approach I call "Piano Hacking."

Thanks to it, 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 135,000 people worldwide how to play piano.

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, Premium Online Training Experience.

5/5
"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."

An exclusive, discounted, "EarlyBird" pre-enroll ticket to the next Chord Piano Formula - Hack the Piano LIVE. 

PLUS

The "start right away in stead of waiting for the next cohort" EarlyBird edition of our flagship Chord Piano Formula program, which includes:

The Self-Serve (aka "recorded edition") of the premium "Chord Piano BootCamp" program - access to the 12 recorded workshops, email coaching & accountability course, online master-course with handouts, downloadable materials, assignments and workshop recordings + seamless integration with the Chord Piano BluePrint program, which is also included in full.

This course will show you exactly what to do, step-by-step to implement the Chord Piano strategies, tactics and techniques.

On top of this flagship program, you'll also get access to these included FREE bonuses: 

  • Full Songs Library with 138 premium song tutorials.
  • 6 Months Piano Lingo Pro Account

The "self-serve" edition of this program and the EarlyBird ticket for the next LIVE cohort are NOT available anywhere outside of this EarlyBird deal.

Whenever you want to!

 

To bring down costs, make it more accessible, and offer action takers who want to hit the ground running the option not to have to wait until the next cohort starts, we have decided to make the program available in digital streaming format.

 

It is still presented to be taken in the 8 week time-frame, to give you the benefits of the live program, but with the added benefits of taking it whenever it fits your schedule.

 

We've still kept all the guiding facets that make this program so step-by-step and valuable active. 

 

As soon as you're ready, you'll activate the program. Then it takes 8 weeks to complete. After that, because the program is scalable to your level at the time, you can choose to retake it however often you like, each time at a gradually more advanced level. 

 

On top of that, we encourage you to join us for the next LIVE cohort by taking advantage of the EarlyBird Enrollment discount to get the full benefits of the interactivity when we do run in it live.

 

By having taken the course in "self-serve" format, you'll come prepared 🙂

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

 

It is the "application & implementation" - actually DOING vs. only learning theory.

 

This course can either function as a perfect introduction, or as a more specialized deep-dive into the world of chord-piano, putting Piano Hacking into practice in a guided, structured, step-by-step way.

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. 

At the time of writing Google states that the current price converts to: $349

Please note that we cover any taxes.

That's the beauty of this self-serve edition: all live sessions are recorded! The recordings can be accessed in streaming format (meaning you can also pause, rewind, fast-forward etc. all things that were not possible when the sessions were held live) in the online master-course as often, and for as long as you like! 

Was it more fun to join the sessions live?

Yes, but let's just say both formats have their benefits. 
Is it possible to get an almost equal amount of value out of the program using the recordings of these live sessions? Absolutely - hence this offer.

How does lifetime access sound?

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. 

The nice thing about a streaming edition like this version of the course, is that you can then redo the course later, going up to the next level.

Everything you'll need to know is available - either in the BootCamp itself, or in the BluePrint. 

Everything you already know is easy to skip, or adapt to make it suitable for a level more advanced. 

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 Word From Coen

"This special offer will help you have success faster.
