What you will learn

Play and improvise on virtually any popular song where chords are provided.

Why take this course?

Playing the piano doesn't need to be complicated. All you need is to learn the building blocks.

Get ready to learn the basic building blocks of all music: chords

Experienced instructor Nathan Lawrence guides you step by step through the process of learning to play piano by chord. Many online piano methods teach you what you need to know, but in an impersonal way. You might be able to see the piano and what to play, but there’s no human being there to make it feel like you’re learning in a personal lesson setting. That’s why this course has a fundamentally different approach. Every lesson is taught with a simultaneous view of both your teacher and the keyboard, as if you’re looking in a mirror.

Piano Building Blocks uses one-of-a-kind, shape-based approach to chord learning. All 24 major and minor chords are taught in intuitive groups by hand position shape, with memorable descriptions like “mountain” or “valley” to help you remember how to place your hand.

This complete course includes:

 - The 24 Most Common Chords (one of the highest rated piano courses on Udemy, included free)

 - Chord Additions & Variations

 - Chord Inversions (parts 1 & 2)

The only way to reach your goal is to take the first step.

"I loved the course. You are a great teacher and I found your shape-based way of teaching chords to be really helpful to me. I now understand how chords are constructed which is amazing as I never thought I would learn it so easily. This will help me with both my piano playing and guitar playing. I have started writing songs so this knowledge will help me to bring more variation into my compositions. Your course was brilliantly done. Thank you so very much for doing it." - Amanda

The teacher sounds rather dull and unenthusiastic. The method of teaching makes me feel sleepy. There are far better courses on chords available.

Overall an excellent course. It is providing what the title says: Building Blocks. I lot more practicing work will be involved to make it happen, but now it all has a good context to help make sense of it all.

Excellent presentation. Only drawback is lack of supporting materials, i.e. list of chords (and the component notes) and perhaps a chord chart with fingering suggestions. It would be handy for reference. Otherwise, great!

The instructor seems to be seeing through the eyes of a beginning student, and doesn't assume what may now be easy for him to play is going to be easy for a new person.

One of the best piano lessons on Udemy. Easily comparable to very expensive lectures on Udemy and other platforms. A laid-back and friendly instructor, spot-on presentation, perfectly timed pace, and evenly distributed bits of information to make the learning curve feel ... well, acceptable. For this reason, it's also suitable for kids, not just adults. Even six year olds like this more than Hoffman Academy courses. A specific thing I liked: we were able to play well-known songs from the very beginning. What a smart motivational boost! Highly recommended. 4.5/5 stars. I would give the course/instructor five stars but I am A) waiting to finish the course first and B) still searching for THE perfect piano course on Udemy. Till then, this is as close as it gets to a perfect one.

Early days yet but I am enjoying the course so far. The teacher comes across well with good explanations and the pace of the course feels right for me.

I am very pleased with this course. I think Nathan is a great piano instructor. Nathan's unique shape-based approach for learning chords worked really well for me. I have watched practically all 3 parts of this course and I am pleased to report that I am now able to work out the notes for a huge range of chords. I really like the way Nathan explains how the chords are constructed and this has "demystified" the whole subject. Now I am going through the inversions part of the course and it is equally as helpful. The video quiz that Nathan included was great. I highly recommended this course. Thank you Nathan!
