The Chord Piano BluePrint

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).
• Most 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.

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 kid, 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?”

Enter - the Chord Piano BluePrint

The Chord Piano BluePrint is a complete pop-piano program 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 again, by 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.

This program embodies an estimated 10 years worth of "traditional" piano lessons (if that would even teach you this approach - which it does not - the ACTUAL approach that your favorite artists - Elton, Billy, John, Alicia, Jamie, Ray, Stevie, Bruce et. al. - use to sound the way they do without ever needing sheets) that you can finish in mere weeks. A €12,000+ value for not even a fraction of the costs. If you're going to invest in yourself to learn and understand music, rumor has it this will be the best investment you'll ever make.

P.S.

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

the Chord Piano BluePrint is a self-paced course that teaches (aspiring) singers, songwriters, producers 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.

The course 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 (likely more)

The difference? It will take you mere weeks to finish.

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)
