… and so I quit.

Many years later, at age 17, when I saw my fellow classmates playing like rock-stars at our yearly school concert, I promised myself I was going to learn to play too. So, I went back to that old way of playing from sheet music, which -again- did NOT make me sound like my favorite artists AT ALL… and I almost gave up entirely.

Then, following the guidance of a talented guitarist-friend of mine, I taught myself how to play piano using his approach: by Chords. 4 years later I got accepted into the Conservatory of Amsterdam (major Pop-Piano / Vocals). 

Having such huge success, so quickly, I decided to start helping people learn this “better way” I had found, that had allowed me to break the spell of needing sheet music and finally actually sound like those pro “pop” pianists and singer-songwriters.

I wrote a book (“Hack the Piano”) that became the bedrock of my 4-course program (“The Chord Piano BluePrint”), online piano-learning platform (“Piano Lingo”) and live, 8-week program (“the Chord Piano BootCamp”).

Now, over the course of 18 years of playing, after performing on stage extensively -both solo and in multiple bands- writing and recording with many different artists, I became a Roland-featured instructor, one of the top-5 Youtube piano teachers in the world and taught over 138,000 people worldwide how to play piano without sheets.

Hack the Piano, in its three different forms (book, course, live) is the methodology and backbone of all my teaching. 

It’s proven to be able to teach you the exact ways I used to accomplish all of the above and create beautiful piano accompaniments that sound just like those of my favorite musical heroes – Elton, Billy, Stevie – without ever having needed a single sheet.

Let me demonstrate how it all works.
