Good morning family, I am changing the time for COPET Mastery Mondays from 1pm-2pm EST to a later time of 8pm-9pm EST so that more people can attend! The topic is “How to improve your ear for music?” In the live I will be be demonstrating how I improved my ear before I started taking formal lessons over 20 years ago, as well as some exercises I learned in college.

It explains how this community works and the exact path to grow as a pianist using the COPET Method. Once you finish the video, go to Classroom → Start Here. That section will show you: 1.

PLEASE BOOK within 3 days of joining as my schedule is rather busy and I want to have the chance to review your technique and playing to help you achieve the best results moving forward. 2. How to navigate the lessons and weekly COPET Masterclasses This is where you’ll build real technique, tone, and artistic identity. 3. How to use the leaderboard and stay consistent The leaderboard makes your progress visible and keeps you accountable. 4. How to introduce yourself in the community Post your intro so I can get to know your goals and point you toward the right resources.
