One that would horrify your childhood piano teacher and also:
NO Scales
NO Nursery Rhymes
No Classical Music (unless you want to)
I can't believe how easy you make it seems. I've been wrapped up in my traumatic piano lessons as a kid to get any further forward. It all makes so much sense when you say it.★★★★★

A library of bite-sized videos to walk you through from your first notes to playing a selection of great songs in 90 days or less.
An approach that only asks you to find 15 minutes a day, not hours
Live support, Q&A sessions, and personalised feedback in your private members community means you’re supported every step of the way
I’m so confident that this program will work for you, I’m making this an easy yes with a 30 Day Get Going Guarantee
The power of music is liberating. It’s fun to listen to…
...but making your own music...even if you’re only playing your first few notes
...will free you from the weight of your daily thoughts.
I know you’ve thought about learning to play many times before and decided to put it off until “later”.
When you have more time, when your kids leave home or when you retire.
But you can enjoy 15 minutes of stress relieving music making right now.
With an extra boost of joy when someone passes by and exclaims, “Wow you can play that!”
You can rewatch as many times as you need so you really can learn at your own pace
Q&A sessions to get real-time feedback from me, whenever you need it
Designed to be learned in bite-sized chunks, so you only need 15 minutes a day
With on-demand video lessons you can hit the rewind button when you need to watch something again. You don't need to worry about testing someone's patience or feeling a bit stupid.
You can learn at your own pace. And because we have weekly live Q&A calls and the opportunity to ask for personal feedback, you’ll never feel stuck again.
After four weeks I've made more progress than I could ever imagined.★★★★★

This is no ordinary piano program. I actively encourage AGAINST playing more than 15 minutes at a time (unless your goal is to become a professional pianist). You only need the same amount of time it takes to have a decent cuppa.
You shouldn’t have to play childish nursery rhymes before you play the music you love. I want you playing songs as fast as possible.
You can learn to play the piano without learning scales. There, I said it. Learning scales first is like learning all of the verbs in a foreign language before you learn how to speak a sentence. I know I’ve said this already but unless you’re planning to tour the world as a concert pianist, you don't need to lose hours mastering your scales.
While not technically a myth...this might be ‘I can’t afford an instrument right now’. The good news is you need way less than you might think. I can recommend new electric keyboards from £200 to get you going or you could get a second hand piano. Send me a message tonight with your budget and your postcode and I’ll send you some options. Don’t let perfection hold you back. You don’t need a high spec instrument to have fun.
And that I celebrate every time someone rediscovers their love of making music. Not just listening, but physically producing those sounds with their own fingers and feet. And I’m excited to listen when you sit down and play… ...because you will be playing parts of your favourite songs within the next 90 days.

Hey, I’m Mark but you may know me as #ThatPianoGuy or the guy with a PhD in heavy metal (yes, really).
I started teaching piano when I was 15, and since then I’ve spent almost 30 years working in the music industry. I’ve led musicians for the BBC, Disney & Gareth Malone. I’ve worked with musicians playing black metal one day and an orchestra the next.
And working with different styles of music every day, I noticed something interesting...
Everything that music can give us sometimes gets lost when we learn the “traditional” way.
I strip out the unnecessary steps and language to make music more accessible. I take the soul of the music you love and use my improved method to teach beginners how to make great music and love the process. I’ve tested and perfected this in both the community choirs I lead and in the online piano lessons I teach.
The short answer is yes. You may have a 61 note keyboard lying around your house and this is fine, there is one song where you’ll run out of keys, but there are eleven more for you to practice. Don’t hold back just because your equipment isn't perfect. Get started, and then upgrade when you’re ready.
If you want to buy a new keyboard now, hit reply to the purchase confirmation email with your budget and I’ll send you some links to my favourites.
If your keyboard has 88 notes, then yes. This is the size I always recommend.
I’ve taught piano for 30 years and in 90 days you can really start establishing what it takes to get you playing confidently. In 90 days you’ll not be a concert pianist but you'll have made a great start to starting to play how you want to. Plus you'll have played a bunch of 12 or more songs you know, love and recognise.
You can learn anything on YouTube. But you’ll never know if it’s a random teenager sitting in his bedroom in Germany (no offence Germany!) You’ll never know if the information is correct, or whether they are teaching you bad habits. And there is no continuity of learning, so one lesson does not naturally fit into another.
It's the equivalent of sticking your hand in the laundry basket and hoping you’ll pull out a full outfit.
Plus the info only flows in one direction - you don't get the community or the weekly access to me to troubleshoot any of your challenges.
You’ll get lifetime access to all of the lessons, workshops and downloads. You’ll also get lifetime access to any new classes and resources added to the program.
Access to the LIVE Q&A and personalised feedback from me is for 90 days, although there is the option to extend this for a small monthly subscription at the end of the 90 days if you find you still want support.
Piano Startup Academy is perfect for you if…
This is stress free, travel free, judgement and expectation free, work at your own pace and repeat at leisure way of playing the piano★★★★★
