Is rhythm "not your thing?"

Do you think that you're either born with a sense of rhythm, or you're doomed to a life of "sort of" getting it? Do you skip playing your favorite music because you're not sure how to read and feel the rhythms and beats? Do you want to finally put an end to the confusion?

Good news - you're in the right place!

Rhythm is pretty easy to understand - IF you learn the basics and how they fit together to produce all those cool rhythms and grooves that are part of ALL music.

Thank you so much, Marina, so clear and helpful - you have a wonderful way of getting to the heart of this musical process and communicating it in such a way that I can follow what you're doing and begin to apply it.

In this 3-class bundle, you will learn how musicians organize beats and rhythms to make understanding and playing them a breeze.

But this isn't just any rhythm theory course. Because after learning the theory of rhythm, we go to the next step and learn how to FEEL the rhythm.

Why should you aim to feel the rhythm? Because feeling the rhythm helps you:

Free up mental space so you can focus on playing music, not counting out notes

Learn music faster, memorize it more easily, and retain it longer

Play by ear more easily

Improvise and compose interesting ideas

Play with other musicians

Hi Awesome Pianist!

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

As a lifelong professional pianist and educator, I'm familiar with the typical ways that pianists are taught rhythm, and, unfortunately, I know that it doesn't really prepare us for all the different kinds of music we want to play.

So, I created these courses to help you conquer one of the pillars of music - rhythm! And I used what I've learned through experience to give you a more user-friendly and practical rhythmic training.

I hope that you'll join me for these fun yet powerful classes and become a Rhythm Master!

Got Questions? I've Got Answers!

In what order should I do these classes?

I recommend that you go through them in this order: Rhythm Master, Feel That Rhythm, Feel That Rhythm 2. You can always go back and watch any lesson if you need a refresher or more practice on a certain skill.

How long do I have access to these classes?

You can watch these classes as many times as you like for 2 years from the date of purchase.

Why don't you offer lifetime access to these classes?

I want to help you get the most value from my classes. Human nature being what it is, if we know that we have "forever" to complete something, we will tend to put it off. So, I give you a 2-year time limit in order to motivate you to go ahead and take that class, do the work, and improve your piano skills ASAP.

Do I get to keep the guide and worksheets?

Yes, they are yours to keep forever

Will I still benefit from these classes if I purchase them after they have already been livestreamed?

You will still get full value from these class. I carefully prepare all classes and curricula so as to cover all the major points of a topic and address any common questions that may arise.
