COPET METHOD in Full Effect
Hey family! Here is a video of me using my COPET Method (Composer Oriented Piano Expression and Technique) Method. It’s using storytelling to create compositions and improvisations. As well as I use the same tool when it comes to repertoire I’m learning. The purpose is for you to develop not just your piano technique, but your artistry-so that your audience can relate to the story you’re telling them through the music. In the video I’m thinking of my granny who passed away February 2025, and I decided to create an improv. The melodies you will hear, even down to the phrasing of the melodic lines tells the story of how much I miss and cherish my granny. Enjoy this personal, sentimental improv. Dedicated to my granny.

Cliff, The first listen was so lovely, but when I realized it was about your beloved grandmother, I heard it differently and felt the beautifully expressed emotion.She must have been so proud.
Hey Familia!!!
🎹 What’s up everyone — I want this space to be where pianists push themselves, share their progress, and connect. Drop in the comments: What piece are you working on right now? (Don’t overthink — even if it’s scales, share it.)
