Modern Piano Isn't Played From Sheets
ASPIRING POP-PIANISTS BEWARE
Sheets Will NOT Get You That Sound You're After
Don't try to learn modern piano parts, using an ancient system...
- Traditional sheet music is outdated (and unnecessarily hard)
- Learning new tunes will keep taking forever
- You'll waist time and money learning an upside-down approach
- You'll be playing vocal melodies (let's leave those to the singers)
- Nobody will enjoy listening to your playing
- You won't sound like your favorite artists (they don't use sheets)
- You'll stay forever lost without your sheets at hand
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 pro-musicians use?
That's what Hack the Piano teaches.
Piano Hacking | The Modern Approach
Create Piano Accompaniments That Sound
Like Taken Straight Off Your Favorite Records
- by Chords, by Ear, by Heart
Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheets while playing? Exactly.
Our "chunking" methodology focusses on learning re-usable blocks: chords & patterns, that are much like words and pronunciation in language.
Learn how styles like Pop, Soul, Blues, Funk, Hip-hop, Singer-Songwriter etc. are made, and played.
We use a rhythm- and harmony-theory approach - the founding pillars of all music. So you learn to sound exactly like the record, or improvise to create your very own unique rendition.
Conservatory-graduated and tons of experience in the actual music business. This is how we do music.
Isn't it strange that guitarists never read traditional sheets, while even beginners are often able to play dozens of songs by heart, with everyone singing along? Learn that "guitarists' approach."
Hack the Piano Is Perfect For (Aspiring):
Singer/Songwriters
Learn how music is built and how to use those building blocks to play and create your very own renditions.
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 played by the original artist - enjoying themselves, friends or family.

Hi, I'm Coen.
Like virtually everybody, 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 ...
But We're Not The Only Ones Who Like The Sound Of Chord Piano

Featured by one of the world's biggest piano brands
Next to 133,000+ students hacking the piano worldwide, Roland now acknowledged it too
"This is THE method for playing modern piano accompaniments."
Embracing the no-sheets approach
Guitarists have been doing it for ages. It's finally recognized that contemporary piano can be learned more effectively too
What Fellow Piano Hackers Say:
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.
This method has saved me time and effort as it has been well written so not to confuse the reader. It opens a pathway of consciousness into the world of music. Wow I am glad I purchased this and so will you be if you are looking to fulfill your piano dreams. Worth every penny.
learn the language of music
Hack the Piano is 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.
- Modern Piano (pop, soul, funk, rock, blues, r&b etc.)
- Actually sound like the piano on your favorite records
- Understand music - play anything you want
- Learn Piano without needing sheets
- Made by Conservatory-graduated professional musicians
The No-Sheets Approach
Piano Like A Guitarist
Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheet music?
Probably not, right?
That's because modern piano parts aren't played from sheets.
Actually, since music is in fact a language, learning to read before you can speak seems completely backwards - whatever style, or instrument, we're talking about.
Guitarists get this right. They don't regurgitate vocal lines from sheets. They play full accompaniments by chords. (And yes - even their licks and solos are built from chords).
But while guitarists are having all the fun, piano is still stuck in this outdated system.
Hack the Piano does things differently.
