My Philosophy
Chords & Rhythm First
you can get to reading sheet-music later (you likely won't want to)
Chord-Piano
Playing modern-style piano by ear, by heart, without needing sheets, due to a foundational understanding of music.
Also called: Pop-Piano, Piano like a guitarist, the guitarists' approach, Piano Hacking.

for music professionals
1. Fans
I strongly believe that with any skill, the first step, first phase, is an overall binding factor. The reason you’re here – love. For music. We’re all fans. However, music -like anything, really- gets so much more interesting when you understand what’s happening. Speak the language. Everybody that plays will confirm this.
2. Evolve
Learning, then, is only a natural consequence. A logical next step in the journey, evolution.
That’s why I am so proud that I am currently helping over 120,000 students from all over the world learn.
To become musicians.
Brothers in arms that live a musical lifestyle, whether professionally or not.
Listening, playing, enjoying, sharing and teaching.
3. Synergy
Wherever you are in your journey, whether you’re still only a lover, already a learner or an actual liver (that sounds strange), in every stage of musicianship learning is and always stays a wonderful challenge.
Learning with- and from each other is even better. Transfer your knowledge to cause growth.
Teach what you know to help make the world a better place.
I invite you to join in.
