Hey everyone, It’s been a quiet few months, but behind the scenes, things have been evolving. We have officially rebranded to The COPET Academy! Moving forward, this community is shifting focus to classical pianists who are serious about rebuilding their technique and interpretation through a structured, accountability driven environment. I want to make sure this space stays high-energy and packed with people who actually want to be here for this new chapter. I’m doing a major member cleanup over the next 48 hours. If you want to stay part of The COPET Academy and see what we have coming next, simply comment 'IN' below. If I don't hear from you, I’ll assume you’ve moved on to other things and will remove your account to keep the group tight-knit and active. No hard feelings at all! Let’s get to work. Cliff Jones,

Hey friends! As I am revamping The COPET Academy, here is a loom video that breaks down how to navigate the community.

I want to share an important update with you. Cliff’s Keys to Mastery has evolved. Effective today, this space is now called: The COPET Academy. This shift represents something deeper than a name change. Over time, it became clear that what we’re building here is not just a place for piano tips or discussions. We’re building a method-driven artistic training environment. The COPET Method — Composer Oriented Piano Expression and Technique — has always been the foundation. Now the Academy reflects that fully. The COPET Academy is for classical pianists who want to: Integrate artistry and technique Develop narrative clarity in their repertoire Refine interpretation with structure Build technique that serves musical intention This is still a welcoming space. It’s still supportive. But it is now more intentional, more structured, and fully aligned with the mission of artistic refinement. If you’ve been here for depth, growth, and real development — you’re in the right place. I’m excited about where this is headed. Welcome to The COPET Academy. Let’s begin this next chapter together. — Cliff

Before anything else, I want to say this clearly. Thank you. To everyone who joined Cliff’s Keys to Mastery early, supported it, trusted me, and helped shape what this space is becoming thank you. This community exists because of you. Because of that, everyone who is already here is considered a Founding Member. Founding Members will: - Remain inside the community - Keep their access - Never be forced to upgrade Now, here’s the shift. Cliff’s Keys to Mastery is moving forward as a paid training community. This space was never meant to be casual. It was built for pianists who already practice, already care, and know that something subtle in their playing isn’t translating. Tone. Control. Decision making. Artistry. Those things don’t change through repetition alone. They change through structure, diagnosis, and guided work. Going forward, new members will join through paid tiers that include: - The COPET Essentials training library - Structured technique and sound frameworks - Weekly masterclasses breaking down touch, tone, and control - Direct exposure to how I analyze and rebuild playing This change is not about excluding people. It’s about building the right room. If you’re a Founding Member, nothing changes for you unless you choose it to. If you’re new and serious about transforming how you play, this community is now built for you. We’re building with the ones who decided. Comment KEYS if you want details.

Good afternoon family! In observance of the upcoming holiday, there will be no masterclasses for the next two weeks as I will be traveling and spending time with family. Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!
