Without Ever Needing Sheets Again.
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."
Playing music shouldn’t be so hard to learn. Sadly though, for many people, it forever remains a “cloud of sound.” These lessons 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.
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 lessons teach you the way real musicians play, using the full harmonic spectrum, which opens the door to playing full and rich-sounding.
Unfortunately, for most people, creating flowing piano parts is like trying to speak fluent Chinese - hard, at best. These lessons will teach the building blocks that allow you to turn any set of notes into a flowing, grooving, moving piano part.
Many people consider scales to be boring sequences of notes that have to be repeated endlessly, purely to create nimble-fingeredness. The lessons in this "sub" layer, 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.
Unfortunately, most chords played on piano still sound bland. These lessons will show you the next phase in voicing, “sophisticating” your chords to take them from juvenile to mature.
Licks, riffs, fills. Alluring to most and - as nothing but “cheap tricks” - misused by many. These lessons 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.
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 lessons 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.

Learn how music is built and how to use those building blocks to play and create your very own renditions.
Whether you'd like to play with others in a band, or accompany anyone's singing (including your own).
Understanding music's foundational building blocks will improve your arrangements, hooks, licks and riffs.
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 ...
Have you ever seen your favorite artist look at sheet music?
Probably not, right?
That's because modern music isn't played from sheets.
Actually, since music is in fact a language, learning to read before you can speak seems completely backwards - whatever style we're talking about.
Guitarists get this. They first learn to strum chords - the equivalent of saying some words.
99% of them keeps approaching music this way forever, learning how to build riffs, licks and even entire solos out of those fundamental musical "chunks" called Chords (& Patterns).
But while guitarists are having all the fun, piano is still stuck in this outdated system.
