THE ONLINE PIANO COURSE THAT HELPED 1000’S OF PEOPLE TO FINALLY PLAY SONGS ON THE PIANO, TO READ MUSIC AND TO IMPROVISE
The way the course is created, with lots of songs and easy explanations of every detail, means that you will advance rapidly every day.
VERY QUICKLY, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY YOUR FIRST SONGS ON THE PIANO OR KEYBOARD
At a very early stage, you will already apply what you’ve learned and start playing songs. First playing the melody with your right hand, later also adding your left hand.
And what makes it a real pleasure to practice, is that you play a song together with a band that accompanies you while you are playing on your piano or electronic keyboard.
This is what others say about the course:
***
This piano course is extremely educational and highly entertaining as well. For beginners specially, Mr. Cohen didn’t raise the bar of excellence, he is the bar simply put. His lectures will start you from know nothing into craving to learn more and highly addictive too. If you are searching over and over to find the right piano lesson for you, your search is over. You found the learning center. Cheers (Rolando Marucut)

This is exactly the course I was looking for. I love piano music since I was a kid, however I never had the opportunity to learn. I am a total beginner, I love the way the teacher explains and shows the most important and key things in order to move forward in any lesson. My dream is closer. Thank you so much! (Daniel Madrid Sanchez)

WOW! This is an amazing course. Thank you very much. Highly recommended. (Stefano Buiaroni)
***
I really liked the way the course was created, with lots of songs, advices, quizzes. It was a challenge, but with perseverance and with a lot of exercises the results appeared. I think the most pleasant moments were when I played the songs from the course, but by far I think it was when I managed to control both hands independently. It was like a revelation. Now I have the needed tools: scales, chords, improvisation techniques, the rest depends on me, a lot of exercises. (Csizmadia Miklos)

LEARN PIANO IN A FUN WAY, NOT BY ONLY ENDLESSLY RUNNING UP & DOWN THE SCALES
In order to play the piano or keyboard well, you have to practice scales. But only endlessly going up & down the scales is not very fun way of learning the piano or keyboard, that’s why in this course you practice the scales in songs that contain just the notes of that particular scale.
And of course, the band will accompany you in all the songs.
This makes practicing the scales a pleasure!
TRY THIS ONLINE PIANO COURSE WITHOUT ANY RISK.
If you’re still not sure, why not just give it a try? It’s without any risk: if for whatever reason this is not the course for you, you can get a full refund within 30 days after purchase.
So, there’s no need to wait any longer: just hit that ‘enroll’ button and get access to more than 23 hours of video, interactive music theory exercises and to two amazing BONUSSES: a 110-page eBook with all the scales and chords in all the inversions with finger positions, an 84-page eBook with the whole music theory and how to read notes, as well as plenty of other resources (play-along files in different tempos, PDF files with sheet music for every song, …).

Ashish Kumar –
I am very amazed , one can clearly see how much effort and hardwork our instructor has put in this series. Its the best course i have ever seen. At first , I was being skeptical but now i am learning at my own pace.
Thank you very much sir for providing us this fantastic and very professional course.

I sing in a few bands and was looking to learn the basics to accompany myself on piano, and get to grips with music theory. I played piano as a child but haven’t touched it in about 25 years. The course covered everything I was hoping it would. Everything was explained very clearly, in detail, with an incredible amount of downloadable resources that I’m sure I will be referring to for a long time to come. I am now in a position to explore music theory and the piano in more detail. Thank you Martin, I really appreciate the time and effort that was put into making this course.
Anhitha k –
It,s awesome course for beginners. I could able to understand each lesson, though I am 4th grade.. excellent efforts by author
Henry Saturno –
The Piano lectures are really fun and made well to. It is really detailed and when doing scales Martin repeats the hand movement when going up 1 octave, hoing down 2 octaves etc.
Indra Neil Mekala –
Amazing experience throughout the course, definitely allowed me to master the basics of scales, chords, reading music et cetera. It is made simpler by the fact that there is a video covering almost all doubts, all asked questions are responded to very quickly, definitely dedicated and made very well, my one problem is that sometimes the repetition can be too much, i.e same thing over and over again, but that is my opinion, I understand that there are people who learn at different speeds, the only major problem is that a 63 – 88 key piano is required to learn properly from this course, which might exceed budget, but that is a standard for good piano/keyboard skills, overal a solid course and good to master the basics before going into deep learning.
Vicky Geudens –
