Elevate Your Pop, Rock, Jazz, and Cocktail Piano

With Fills Borrowed From Chopin

The One-Of-A-Kind E-Book That's Also A Mini Course

21 Chopin Fills For Pop, Rock, And Jazz Piano

Classical Pianists -

You've got amazing piano skills. You can play Bach, Beethoven, and Chopin with fingers flying over the keys. That's awesome!

What's not so awesome?

Trying to play modern music and getting all "finger-tied" during those parts of a song where the melody takes a break.


You can't just let the beats go by in silence. What should you play? And how?


You play something called a "fill" - which is a short melodic idea that keeps things moving along until the melody starts up again. Simple, right?

Well - yes!

I know that trying to play fills can feel like you need to learn a whole other musical language, but you really don't. I used to be so confused about fills, until I figured out the secret.

You can use melodies from classical music, and they sound just great in pop, rock, and jazz songs.

It's true!

When I had this realization, the world of modern music really opened up for me. I didn't feel stuck and frustrated anymore because I could ACTUALLY USE my piano skills to play modern music.


And I wanted to help other pianists get over this hurdle just like I had done.

21 "Fills" Straight From Chopin's Preludes and Etudes

I've combed through Chopin's music and gathered 21 fills that fit perfectly into songs in lots of genres.


In this e-book, you'll see each fill in standard notation PLUS an explanation of the structure of the fill.


But why stop there? I also include video instruction where I show you how to play the fill in different keys and modes AND give you real-life examples of how each one fits seamlessly into a popular song.

I love the fills...especially all the pieces of music you so easily arrange and play. Great description and explanations.

I think this is a great book. And I feel that the content is useful for more than "just" fills... going through the snippets in the different keys (and switching between major and minor) is also great "scale-theory/practice-repetition".

Hi Awesome Pianist!

I'm Marina, Your Best Piano-Playing Friend!

I used to be a highly trained, virtuoso level classical pianist who desperately wanted to transfer my skills to playing music of ALL genres. But, whenever I tried to improvise, play by ear, or even just play a pop song with the right "feel", I would get so frustrated because I just didn't know what to do.


So I made it my mission to unravel the mysteries of playing modern styles. And when I finally cracked the code, I wanted to share it with all the other pianists who were feeling the same way that I was.


I started creating courses, videos, and books to achieve this mission. I broke the chains of classical music and I know that you can, too!
