🎹 How to Navigate Cliff’s Keys
Welcome! This is where pianists come to grow using my COPET Method (Composition-Oriented Piano Expression & Technique). Here’s how to use this space so you get the most out of it:
đź’¬ Threads (Community)
- Introduce Yourself → Share who you are, how long you’ve been playing, and your biggest challenge.
- Ask Cliff → Post your questions directly for me. Technique, artistry, practice struggles — drop them here.
- Wins & Progress → Share your breakthroughs, no matter how small. This is about celebrating growth.
- Feedback & Practice Clips → Upload a 30–60 second clip of what you’re working on. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about progress and getting feedback.
- Deep Piano Talk → Long-form discussions on artistry, expression, and technique.
👉 Jump in right away. Don’t lurk. The more you post and engage, the more progress you’ll make.
🎥 Classroom
- Top 20 Teaching Moments (Mini Lessons) → Quick, breakthrough lessons to fix technique and connect it with artistry.
- Long Form Lessons – Technique + Expression → Five deep-dive lessons on how technique and expression work together.
- The Practice Mindset Vault → Lessons to help you stay consistent, avoid burnout, and actually enjoy practice.
👉 Start with the Mini Lessons for quick wins, then explore Long Form Lessons when you want to dig deeper.
