Memorise piano chords and play songs today! Using my simple system, it's EASY for anyone

Course updated 26/11/23

There's a way to play any song you want on piano, without struggling for years to learn scales or read music..If you want to be playing songs almost straight away. This is the method for you

Years ago I stumbled upon an elegant solution to an age-old problem. How to get anyone to play songs on piano quickly, without them having to practice for years or read music. I've since developed and taught this simple easy system to over 18,000 beginners online. With rave reviews.

It's transformative, making a huge difference to people's lives

“I have been playing for about 30 mins a day for about 7 days after following about 70% of the course. I have just finished playing chorus and verse of Sam Smith's "Stay with me", both hands! I'm a complete beginner and I have wanted to play an instrument all of my life. There was a moment, brief but a moment, where I wasn't thinking about where my hands were but just enjoying playing the piano. It ranks alongside holding a proper conversation in a foreign language. I can' t recommend this course enough it's short, easy to follow and it's inspired me on to a more complex course. Thank you for sharing your method and not wrapping it unnecessarily in a 20-hour course. Fantastic.”

Or this one

“It's so silly they don't teach piano like this from the start. I can't believe that it took me 2 music teachers and 1 year of frustration before I found someone who could just EXPLAIN IT.”

Why Listen to me?

As a professional musician I’ve had 4 record contracts, played all over the world, recorded albums, videos, and played main stages at many of the big festivals. I’m also an educator. I set up a successful non-profit teaching underserved youth how to create music quickly and easily. As part of that journey, I did a MEd Degree in Education at Cambridge University, learning the latest teaching theory. All of that means I’ve fused years of experience with the latest theory and built online courses, specialising in getting people playing as quickly as possible without being put off, bored or confused by theory. These have now been taken by over 18,000 students, with rave reviews. I know how to structure complicated ideas easily and explain them in a way that means people grasp them fast, and in a fun way without the B.S. that so often surrounds music education.
