Powerhouse Piano Technique

Power-up your piano skills...in just 10 minutes a day

YOU KNOW WHAT TO PLAY BUT JUST CAN'T GET YOUR HANDS TO MOVE THE WAY YOU WANT THEM TO? HERE'S THE MISSING LINK

Hi Awesome Pianist! (yes, there IS an AWESOME PIANIST inside you, just begging to be set free)

Have you done ALL the work? Have you learned how to read sheet music, practiced your scales, learned to play by ear, put in hour after hour (after hour...) at the piano, and yet -

When you sit down to play a song you love, do you feel like your brain and fingers speak 2 different languages - and there's no translator in the room?

When playing with both hands, you can EITHER pay attention to your right hand OR your left hand - but trying to focus on BOTH at the same time feels like juggling chainsaws ... while riding a unicycle?

Do you feel tightness, soreness, or (GASP!) shooting pain in your hands and arms when you play? (hint: playing the piano shouldn't hurt)

I'm here to tell you 2 things:

YOU ARE NOT ALONE

THERE IS HOPE FOR YOU

Wait! Who am I?

And how do I know this?

I'm Marina, your best piano-playing friend! And I'm a professional musician who's been teaching other people to play the piano almost as long as I've been playing it myself - which is for most of my life!

One of my goals in life is to spread the joy of making music. I do this is by bringing fun, high-quality piano education to adults all around the world through my YouTube channel (The Piano Keys), books and online courses.

Wait! Who am I?

And how do I know this?

I've seen so many dedicated adults get frustrated

by their lack of progress at the piano...

and I KNOW that they are SO CLOSE to reaching their goals.

BUT they're missing the ONE THING

that makes all the difference.

PIANO TECHNIQUE

It's the #1 thing that adult piano learners don't understand.

Get your TECHNIQUE right, and you unlock the ability to play ALL the glorious music that rocks or classicals (?) your world.

IGNORE it and you limit your progress.

Wanna play fast?

Forget it.

How about easily playing with both hands?

Keep dreaming.

You'll be stuck at a certain level and you won't even know WHY you're stuck.

You might conclude that you're just too old to learn piano. Or that you don't have talent.

But that's not it at all.

You're just missing a VERY IMPORTANT

part of the puzzle.

Working on technique, through effective exercises, practiced with GOOD FORM, should be a part of EVERY pianist's practice routine.

Skipping this step, and heading for "the good stuff" is the short road to disappointment.

BUT HEY, THAT'S EASY FOR ME TO SAY - RIGHT?

This stuff comes naturally for me because I learned it all when I was a child.

What do I know about the struggle of adult piano learners?

Well, it turns out that I know a lot about it.

You see, when I was a piano major in college, I practiced for many, many hours every day.

And I had some impressive piano skills.

But, sometimes I played music that I really shouldn't have been playing. And at one point, the combination of many hours of practice with the not-right music led to...

A TERRIBLE CASE OF TENDONITIS

My fingers, wrists, elbows, and shoulders hurt constantly.

I couldn't play the way I used to. I couldn't sleep at night.

In fact, I really couldn't do much of anything.

And...I couldn't believe this was happening to me.

ME!

I had gigs to play.

Exams to pass.

I had a LIFE that revolved around playing the piano.

I tried to ignore the pain.

I used "mind over matter" strategies.

But the pain just kept coming for me, stronger and harder as time went on.

I finally went to see a sports medicine specialist.

Within a few minutes, he had me completely cured, and told me that my piano and I could be BFFs forever!

JUST KIDDING!

That's not what happened at all.

What he ACTUALLY said was....

"You have tendonitis in all of the joints of your arms and hands."

O-kaaayyyy.

"It's likely to recur and get worse as you continue to play the piano."

Aaaand?

"You should find a different profession."

(not an actual photo of that moment,

but a fairly accurate re-enactment)

I thanked him for his advice, paid my bill, and with a bottle of high-potency pills in hand...

I went home to think about my next steps.

I knew that giving up piano wasn't an option for me.

So, the choice was clear.

I needed to figure out a DIFFERENT WAY of playing the piano.

A way that would

allow me to play the virtuosic music I needed to play
allow me to play for many hours a day, with ease and flow
AND keep me safe from injury...for the rest of my life

NO BIG DEAL!

(LOL)

Fortunately, I LOVE a challenge.

So I made a plan...

I carefully observed other pianists. Pianists who were masters of the craft, who had been playing for decades and really knew the ins-and-outs of technique and musical interpretation.

I broke down their movements into tiny micro-movements, practiced them in different combinations, and did a lot of experimentation.

I broke down their movements into tiny micro-movements, practiced them in different combinations, and did a lot of experimentation.

I re-built my piano technique from the ground up. It took a lot of work, but I came back stronger than ever, and my piano playing was on a whole other level.

AND EVERYTHING I LEARNED,

I SHARED WITH MY STUDENTS

Until just a few years ago, if you wanted to learn my method of building piano technique, the only way to do it was to take one-on-one lessons with me.

But I kept getting the same questions from my YouTube viewers about why they had so much trouble actually MOVING their hands and fingers at the piano, even though they knew what notes to play.

That's when I knew that there was a real need out there that I couldn't fill with one-on-one lessons.

So I started putting everything I know about piano technique into courses with video tutorials that lead you EXACTLY through the practice routines that I KNOW deliver AMAZING results.

And because the WAY you practice has everything to do with how good you get, I made sure to give you lots of insider tips in these video lessons.

I also created sheet music for EVERY SINGLE EXERCISE for my students to download and keep forever.

And because I wanted to make my courses accessible to as many people as possible, I demonstrate EVERYTHING so my students don't even need to know how to read music notation.

Now, I've taken all of my technique courses and combined the lessons into the EXACT order that I would teach them to you if you were studying with me one-on-one.

SAY NO MORE!

I want this!

Got Questions?

I've Got Answers!

How long does it take to finish POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE?

It all depends on your previous experience and how diligent you are about getting to that piano every day! I've designed the course bundle so that the average person can complete it in about 2 years and get a very solid technical foundation for a lifetime of joyful piano playing.

What level is this course for? Do I need to be able to read music notation?

POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE is for EVERY level of pianist. The sooner you get your technique in order, the faster you will progress with everything that you play.

But even if you've been playing for years, if you still feel like you don't have as much control over your hands as you'd like, if you struggle to play smoothly, or fast, or without aches and pains, then it's not too late to rework your technique. I did it in college, as a high-level pianist, remember?

You do NOT need to be able to read sheet music for this course because I show you everything on the keyboard as well as on the sheet music scrolling on the screen. But, you JUST MIGHT find yourself picking up some note reading skills!

What equipment do I need to get full value from this course?

1. You need a device for viewing the lessons - a bigger screen is preferable so that you can clearly see my demonstrations.

2. A full-sized keyboard with weighted keys and sustain pedal, or an acoustic piano is the prefect instrument for leveling up on your technique.

3. A printer for printing out the exercise sheet music (or you can view the pdf files on a tablet).

4. Ten minutes a day, every day. You can miss a day here and there, but this course is for students who are ready to commit to their piano success.

How long do I have access to POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE?

If you choose the monthly membership, then you have full access to the course for as long as you keep your membership active.

If you purchase the course, you have access for 26 months. All the downloads are yours to keep forever.

Why don't you offer lifetime access?

My courses are designed to teach you skills and knowledge that you can apply to playing the music you love.

Once you have completed a course, there's really no need to go back to it and repeat anything - I want you to move on. Of course, you will have the sheet music to all of the exercises, as well as the mp3 play-along audio downloads, if you'd like to come back to them from time to time.

But, after finishing this course bundle, you really won't need my instruction on these exercises anymore, because the movements will be ingrained in your mind and body.

Also, if you want to reach your piano goals and get the true value of my learning products, you need to commit to a regular practice schedule.

Human nature being the way it is, when we know that we have something "forever," there is no sense of urgency to get to it. So, by limiting your access to a certain time frame, I am doing my best to help you follow through on your decision to level up on your piano journey.

That being said, if there is an unusual circumstance and you are not able to complete the course in the time given, please let me know and I will be happy to accommodate your situation.

If you can't see yourself committing to a regular practice schedule at this time, it may be better to wait to start this course at a later time.

How is POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE different from the ALL-ACCESS PASS?

POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE is a "Mega Course" bundle that contains ONLY my technique courses.

It is designed for the student who isn't interested in my other courses or master classes. The lessons are put in an order that takes you through the learning journey step-by-step. POWERHOUSE PIANO TECHNIQUE includes a LIVE group coaching session every other month via Zoom.

The ALL-ACCESS PASS is a membership program that gives full access to all of my existing learning products, plus all new products I create, as well as Daily Warm-Ups, and monthly LIVE Master Classes that teach specific musical skills.

Basically, the ALL-ACCESS PASS gives you instant access to EVERYTHING I create (except for books and sheet music arrangements).

Do you offer refunds?

I don't offer refunds on downloadable products, including courses. If you'd like to get a free preview of some of my courses before purchasing, please CLICK HERE.
