Master Piano Fundamentals in 30 Days
Go from pointing-and-clicking melodies in your DAW to playing chord progressions and hooks that actually sound professional
A look inside the Modern Piano Masterclass
Here's what you'll learn in The Modern Piano Masterclass:
-
The Mental Framework that separates creative, driven piano players from the rest — and how to adopt it from day one.
-
How to build your internal “chord library” so you can quickly and fluently play and record progressions on the fly without having to “think” about what you’re doing.
-
Best practices for developing hand skills so you can expand your melody and chord playing abilities (and as a result: your composition skills).
-
How to play and make catchy melodies like Avicii, Kygo, and Martin Garrix that get stuck in people’s heads.
-
Advanced melody and chord writing techniques so you can take your playing and production to the next level.
-
How to break down popular songs and learn them step-by-step, regardless of how complicated they are.
-
How to write and build your own original song completely on the piano, then record it into your DAW and start producing.
-
How to incorporate piano into your production process: everything from processing, layering, advanced MIDI editing, and more.
-
Improvisation mastery: how to become a music-making machine who can generate epic ideas in minutes (without having to look at a screen or anything else).
The Masterclass Is Built on Four Core Pillars
Each pillar builds on the last, giving you a complete foundation from your very first chord to full improvisation.
1. Chord Dominance
Build powerful chord progressions that move people emotionally — the foundation every great song is built on.
2. Melody Mastery
Write melodies that get stuck in your listener’s head for days. Your melodies will fit beautifully with your progressions.
3. Practice & Performance
Combine your chord and melody skills into fluid, confident playing — so you can perform and record without hesitation.
4. Improvisation
Generate fresh musical ideas on the fly and push your creativity to new levels — no sheet music or screens required.
These four pillars are woven through every module — from Composition Mastery to Start-to-Finish Song Building to Production Integration — so you don’t just learn concepts, you master them through repetition and real-world application.
7 Ways Playing Piano Transforms Your Music
Create memorable melodies
In the Spotify age, the way to have your song stand out in playlists is for it to have a great hook. Creating memorable melodies is easier and more intuitive on the piano.
Write emotional chord progressions
Knowing how to use and manipulate chords to create interesting, engaging progressions will ensure that your music doesn't get skipped.
Close the Mind to DAW link
When you know how to play piano, it's much easier to translate the ideas in your head into real music in your DAW.
Faster workflow
It's quicker to record in a melody or progression than point & click inside your DAW. You don't even need to play it perfectly.
Easier collaboration
Ever been in the studio trying to explain a musical idea but words don't suffice? As a pianist, you can just demonstrate it live.
Learn & apply music theory
Learning music theory by book can be mind-numbing. Learning it as you learn piano is more enjoyable and allows natural application.
