A composition I made using the COPET Method
Family! Here is a composition I made a while ago using the COPET method as an intro to a hip hop beat I was working on. From my heart and mind to yall, the story I envisioned is the moment Beethoven finally realized his hearing would never be the same. Can you imagine the anguish he felt?! Anyway here is the piece. I want you to listen, and in the comment section tell me what emotions you feel, and tie it to your own story. Enjoy! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DQyJVp2DZNe/?igsh=MWJjNnNqYTRjZ3Ztdw==

Are you left handed?
For feedback
It has been a long time since I played my own improvisations for anyone other than whoever was standing in the room. I mentioned a recent one where I set my iPhone down on a piano recently at a friend's house and made up a short song. I placed a link below. https://youtu.be/slG79GEHGQc Thanks also to @Cliff Jones for suggesting I collect some of these into a playlist. Hopefully this link works for you too. No professional editing, these were mostly for me to share with my family. Hope you enjoy them too.

@Derrick Smith @Cliff Jones thanks to both of you!
🚀 What keeps you coming back to the piano?
Practicing every day can feel like a grind — but there’s always a reason you keep showing up. Is it the sound of your favorite composer? The challenge of mastering a piece? Or just the peace you feel when you play? 👉 Share your “why” in the comments. Your answer might inspire somebody else to keep going this week.

I have been busy and away from music for a while, but when I can catch a movie with my family, the scores that accompany many films are often very beautiful. One of my favorites is this one from Cloud Atlas. However the scores from familures like Lord of the Rings is also high on my list.

Welcome to Cliff’s Keys to Mastery — the place where serious pianists come to finally move from feeling stuck to playing with confidence and real expressive power. If you’ve been lost in endless YouTube tutorials and internet advice, only to feel like you’re still not reaching your piano dreams, you’re in the right place. Here, we cut through the noise. We offer a complete path that takes you from feeling unsure about your playing to knowing exactly how to sound like the expressive pianist you want to be all powered through my piano teaching method called the COPET Method. (Composer Oriented Piano Expression and Technique) Method. Before you do anything else, introduce yourself to the community by commenting on this post with these questions: STEP 1: 1. How long you’ve been playing piano? 2. Who is your favorite composer? 3. One thing you struggle with in piano 4. Ultimate goal to get out of this community. STEP 2 Proceed to Watch the Loom video below to see how we work, then head over to the Classroom → Start Here section to book your Onboarding Mandatory Piano Audit Call and take the first step on your path from stuck to confident. Much luv, Cliff

Hey everyone. I just had my call with Cliff. He is super friendly and knowledgeable. I have 45 years of experience on piano and enjoyed chatting. I know we can learn from each other. Looking forward to interacting with you all more here. In a moment, I will upload some songs I improvised that Cliff requested I send him for review and feedback. Happy to have general feedback too. Best wishes to all of you!

I created this composition using the COPET Method!
Good morning Family! The other day I woke up feeling introspective, and went to the piano and created this composition to describe how I was feeling. In turn, I created a piece that mixes classical piano elements with hip hop elements (my two loves!) all powered through the COPET method! This is to show you what exactly is possible when you use the method to speak your inner thoughts through the piano. Enjoy! Let me know what yall think in the comments!
