Chord Piano Formula Diamond
The deluxe Pop-Piano program that takes you from sheet-dependent,
is this you?
What every (aspiring) singer/songwriter, accompanist & pop-pianist must consider
- Are you struggling to get the sound you want and have the feeling you don’t really sound like your favorite artist does?
- Do you feel like a slave to your sheet music, lost and not being able to play anything when you don’t have it at hand?
- Are you stuck on dull, boring tunes and exercises?
- Do you have the feeling that nobody actually enjoys listening to your playing?
- Are your favorite tunes mysterious "clouds of sound" to you?
- Have you tried learning to play one or more of your favorite tunes, but felt like the sound wasn't quite right / just can’t get it to actually sound like the original?
I hear you
I know How It feels to invest countless hours, Trying to crack the code...
... deciphering Sheet-Music, reading, scavenging youtube ...
... only to find out you don't sound like the "real deal" at all.

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 ...
That's why I built this Roland-featured system ...
... that has already helped over 138,000 students from all over the world Hack the Piano
"…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."

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.
"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!"

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 BootCamps.
4 Weeks Each.
12 Workshops.
8 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.

Incredible Value
People have paid up to €999 to attend a live edition of JUST ONE of these NINE included BootCamps, 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 this *scalable* (i.e. suitable for any level) program digitally available in streaming "self-serve" 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 *drastically* down.
Now THAT's a deal
"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.

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.

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?
I hope you enjoy this program!
I 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 Diamond ed. is our deluxe 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 collection - 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)

Rachel

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.
Darren
Piano Hacker
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!
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 bootcamp 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
Piano Hacker
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!
Koen
Piano Hacker
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.
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%.

Most frequent questions and answers
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.
Hack the Piano Online is (the first) part of the Chord Piano BluePrint - our complete core self-paced curriculum - which is perfect for foundational learning. The BluePrint consists of two parts (courses): Hack the Piano Online (Bare Essential Keys to Harmony - Piano Chords Magic - Pop-Piano Patterns) & Advanced Piano Hacks. As the core curriculum it is the fundamental part of Chord Piano Formula.
Chord Piano Formula Diamond thus includes (lifetime) access to the complete BluePrint. Additionally, it also includes access to "Chord Piano Mastery" with the Chord Piano MasterClass (7 previous Chord Piano BootCamps merged - previously sold at €999 a piece - into one big "implementation program"), additional workshops, licks, and practice sessions in the Vault for advanced learning AND two premium "Play Like" BootCamps (Elton & Billy).
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.
Kind of - yes.
After completing Hack the Piano Online, you'd have to get Advanced Piano Hacks, to complete the Chord Piano BluePrint. When you own that, you'll have the chance to get Mastery (including the MasterClass and Vault) too.
However, there will be no way to buy the MasterClass and Mastery, only to "rent" them:
For owners of our (complete) BluePrint (Hack the Piano Online AND Advanced Piano Hacks) we have the option to subscribe to Chord Piano Mastery at a yearly subscription fee.
If you want to buy the program and get lifetime access to everything, you can only do so here on this page.
Lifetime access.
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
A final note from Coen
Piano Lingo - the pop-language
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 Piano Hacking..
... 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).
