Sit Down At The Piano, Relax, And Start Playing Music That Actually Sounds Good...
By Following A Simple, Repeatable Process That Let's You
Explore Music Without Overwhelm
(Even If You’ve Never Felt Confident Before)
In the video below, I break this simple process down so you can see how to play in a way that feels manageable, musical, and genuinely enjoyable at the piano. I’ll also show you how you can learn and apply it in more depth if it feels right for you.
If you’ve ever felt stuck at the piano… unsure what to play, worried it won’t sound good, or overwhelmed by how much there seems to be to learn… what you’ve just seen is an alternative.
I call this approach the Room Technique.
It’s the foundation Creative Piano Patterns is built on.

I sounded so good!"
"The other day, my daughter came into the room just to check if the music she heard was coming from me or from something else.
"She couldn't believe it was me because it sounded so good! So, yeah, the piano patterns definitely help.

anything remotely as nice as this!"
"I reckon it would take 2 years to sound good. I never thought I could play anything remotely as nice as this!
"So, so glad I found this course. Now I play piano every day. And even if it's just 5 minutes, now I remember a pattern and play it smoothly. BRILLIANT!"

It sounds really good!"
"Even when I only have 5-10 minutes, I sit at my piano every day. I quickly practice a few of your patterns.
"When my parents visited recently, my dad heard me play and said... I didn't know you knew how to play the piano. It sounds really good!"

Creative,
For a long time growing up, piano felt frustrating for me.
So frustrating that I actually quit.
I was taught in the traditional way… beginner pieces nobody really wants to play, theory I didn’t know how to use, and endless drills that sounded, well, exactly like you’d expect - drills.
There are important skills buried in that approach, and it works well for some people.
But I always wanted to use the piano to play and create music I actually liked.
Instead it was learn, learn, LEARN. Do this then do that. I was never “allowed” to enjoy the instrument.
The result was that I could follow instructions, but I didn’t feel free or musical at the piano.
So I stopped playing altogether and picked up the… dun dun duuuunnnn… electric guitar instead.
And something unexpected happened.
Not because I suddenly knew more, but because the way I was learning gave me access to the music underneath the techniques.
I’d sit for hours just playing as time disappeared… a freedom I’d never experienced on the piano.
Years later, when I returned to piano and finally started to love it, I realised something important.
The problem wasn’t me and it wasn’t a lack of ability.
It was the way I was taught. And I’m not alone.
Many pianists are given useful tools… scales, chords, pieces, theory… but very little guidance on how to use them musically or how to connect them all together. How does all this stuff help me?
So when you want to explore music for yourself, you’re left stranded staring at 88 keys wondering where to even start…
I didn’t need lots and lots of information…
I needed a clear, manageable method that let me USE all that stuff to make real music… without feeling lost.
That realisation changed how I approached teaching the piano and became what I now call…
The Room Technique
A Simple Way To Know What To Play - Without Getting Lost
Here’s the core idea.
Instead of sitting down at the piano and facing everything you could possibly play, you start with a small, contained musical idea.
That idea becomes your room.
Inside that room, you’re free to explore.
You’re not guessing or wondering what you’re “allowed” to play.
You know where you are.
What A “Room” Actually Is
Inside a room, you might have:
1. A short, manageable musical pattern
2. A few limited techniques you can actually use
3. A small number of hand positions
That's it. Nothing more!
By limiting what’s inside the room, you can take the time to get properly familiar with it.
Familiarity builds confidence.
Confidence leads to creativity.
Why This Works
If you’ve been learning for years but still don’t feel musical, this is usually why.
You may know scales, chords, exercises, techniques…
But none of it feels connected.
Lots of small jigsaw pieces, but no clear musical picture.
The Room Technique removes that problem.
You know exactly what’s inside your room.
You start from one clear musical idea, use just the techniques needed to play it, then shut the door and explore.
That’s what makes it feel manageable.
And once you’re inside the room and settled in:
You stop thinking
Your hands relax
Your ear takes over and your own musical ideas start to appear
Time fades away as you stop thinking about what you should be practising.
You’re just playing.
This Is What Creative Piano Patterns Is Built Around
Creative Piano Patterns is a collection of carefully designed rooms.
Pick one you like, step inside, and start playing.
There's no pressure to get everything right or master everything.
Just a clear process you can return to whenever you want something musical to play… or simply want to relax at the piano.
And this isn’t theory.
Below is James, a real beginner, using just one or two simple patterns from the course to create music that genuinely sounds musical.
This is the Room Technique doing exactly what it’s designed to do.
Have a listen to James... a beginner... and notice how relaxed and musical he sounds
James uses just 2 of the over 30 patterns to create and play his own music. Everything he plays here is his own creation.
As a teacher, hearing James play like this is extremely rewarding!
Here’s what he had to say about Creative Piano Patterns…
“I’m a beginner and I wanted to be able to play music that would sound nice reasonably quickly.
“These patterns work so well, I can play them slowly and they still sound great. They allow me to pause, find the right note, and keep playing, all while still playing beautiful music.
“It’s the first time I’ve played and had family come over and tell me… ‘Wow, that sounds great, you’ve really improved!’
“Thanks, Josef!”
- James
Creative Piano Patterns Student
Here's Arjen who had a similar experience using a different pattern and applying the “Room Technique”
Here’s what Arjen said about his experience in Creative Piano Patterns…
“This pattern really gives me a kind of film theme feeling, like Hans Zimmer.
"The chords of this pattern are very emotional and give you the vibe of the tune directly from the start. And it never gets boring, even when I play it a lot.”
“And there are so many ways to play variations of each pattern. You can even make it harder, and make sound bigger. There are so many different ways to use each pattern.”
- Arjen
Creative Piano Patterns Student
Arjen uses just 1 of the over 30 patterns to create this beautiful film-like music.
That’s just one small glimpse of what’s inside the course.
Creative Piano Patterns contains over 30 different musical starting points. Take a quick listen to few of them below...
Some of the patterns you’ve just heard might sound advanced at first.
That’s intentional. Each one is taught in multiple ways, so you can start at a level that feels comfortable and let it grow with you over time.
Introducing…
A Musical Library That Shows You What To Play... And How To Make It Your Own
Creative Piano Patterns 2.0 is a collection of musical starting points designed to help you sit down at the piano and start playing... without feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin.
Each pattern gives you a small, contained musical idea you can learn, and then explore freely.
Rather than a step-by-step course that you “work through” from the beginning... Creative Piano Patterns is a musical Pick & Choose library. Each pattern is a new “room” you can step into and explore.
You can dip in anywhere you like... choose a pattern that inspires you and step into your clear musical space, then let the music develop from there.
And just like James and Arjen discovered, this course is about giving you many different ways to let go and experience the freedom of playing beautiful music, without wondering how.
Below, you can see how Creative Piano Patterns is organised into Series, making it easy to explore the library and dive straight in.
The 'Essential' Series
Just getting started at the piano? Or unsure whether you’re ready to dive straight into patterns yet?
This short introductory series guides you through the very basics as if we’re starting out together. The goal is simple… to give you the confidence you need to step into the rest of the course and start playing music, without feeling lost or out of your depth.
The 'Beginner' Series
6 Patterns
These six patterns are designed as the natural next step once the basics are in place.
They use simpler techniques, but still pack a musical punch and feel satisfying to play. Use them to build confidence at the piano and experience what it feels like to play real music, just at a more manageable level.
The 'Blues' Series
6 Patterns
There’s nothing like a bit of Blues or Boogie Woogie on the piano to turn heads and feel that energy at the keys.
It’s super fun and sounds great… but it’s also powerful for another important reason. It builds a specific core skill that aspiring pianists struggle with the most. Its why I teach this style to all my students, and why this approach is built directly into these six patterns.
The Kick-Ass Series
18 Patterns
This is where the course truly comes to life.
Eighteen rich, musical patterns you can choose from and dive into, with the confidence that whatever you play will sound great at the piano.
These patterns are designed to give you both structure and freedom. Start with a great-sounding idea that speaks to you, learn it, play it, then gradually make it your own and lose yourself in the music.
This is where James and Arjen (and many others inside the course) found the patterns that resonated with them and created such beautiful pieces.
The Creative Series
3 Patterns - 10 Lessons
These three extended patterns, exclusive to Creative Piano Patterns 2.0, focus entirely on creativity and expression using the Room Technique.
Each pattern unfolds across multiple lessons and is designed to give you huge musical freedom from a single, easy-to-learn idea. It might sound complex on paper, but we take it step by step so you feel confident at every stage.
This series is about discovering the musician inside you. If you have that urge to walk up to any piano, sit down, let go, and play music that genuinely turns heads… these patterns were made for you.
To Help You... You Also Have Access To Your Piano Practice Companion.
Play-Along Sessions
(Included With Every Pattern)
Each pattern in Creative Piano Patterns comes with a dedicated play-along session you can use whenever you want extra guidance or structure.
These sessions let you practise alongside me while you get familiar with a pattern, explore variations, or settle into the feel of the music. You can slow things down, loop small sections, change key, and clearly see what’s being played on the keyboard.
Nothing is rushed, and nothing is hidden.
With over 30 patterns, each with its own play-along session, you always have the option to return, revisit, and refine a pattern at your own pace… or simply switch the guidance off and explore on your own when you’re ready.

Bjørn used patterns from the Kick-Ass Series as his starting point and developed the piece in his own way.
A Personal Piece Created Using Creative Piano Patterns
Bjørn Lyng used Creative Piano Patterns to write and perform a short piece of music dedicated to his dog, Lotte.
What you’re about to hear is his own composition, built using patterns from inside the course. It’s called “Ode to My Little Dog Lotte.”
This is a great example of how the patterns can inspire you and help you create music that means something emotionally.
A Final Word Before You Decide
If you’ve read this far, you already have a good sense of what Creative Piano Patterns is about.
Rather than adding to the already huge amount of piano information and techniques... Let's give you clear musical starting points you can return to, so sitting down at the piano feels enjoyable, relaxed, and creative again.
You’ve seen how different students use the same patterns in their own way… from simple, musical playing to more personal, expressive pieces.
If that way of learning resonates with you, Creative Piano Patterns 2.0 is ready for you whenever you are.
I’d love to welcome you inside the course and show you how this approach can support your own playing.

"I'm so glad I found this course! I'm 63 yrs old and have been trying to learn the piano off and on most of my adult life. But whenever someone asked me to play, if I didn't have the sheet music of what I'd been practicing in front of me, I couldn't play a thing. It was so tedious and frustrating. But these lessons show you how to play improvisationally, something I've always wanted to learn but didn't know how to ask for.
