I learn to play something new every time
Create Music That Doesn't Exist Yet.
Most piano courses teach you to play what is already written. This one teaches you to hear what isn't written yet.
We built this course the way we would have wanted to learn it ourselves: the technique and theory that working pianists actually use, put straight into your hands from the first lesson. You won't spend months on exercises before you're allowed to be creative — improvisation runs through every stage, so exploring the keyboard is part of the habit from day one, whether or not you can yet read a note of music.
How lessons are taught
Three ways to make the music feel real.
Overhead hand-sync footage
You can see exactly where every finger lands — not just hear it. This makes it much easier to connect what your hands are doing with what your ears are hearing.
Animated scores
Notation moves with the music in real time, so when you're ready to connect what you hear with what you see on the page, it feels natural rather than forced.
Studio-recorded backing tracks
Practise rhythm and melody against a full band, so every session feels like playing with other musicians, not a metronome.
Taught by John Montgomery
Piano & Improvisation is taught by John Montgomery of Softplanet Productions.
He's spent thirty years playing, writing and arranging music, and this course is built from lessons he's taught and refined over that time. It's the same teaching, built for anyone practising at home.
