Not One of the “Chosen Ones” of Music? Good. Neither Was I.
Here’s How I Went From Frustrated Beginner to Developing an Elite & Mature Sound on Keys in just 1.5 Years, Without “Natural Talent”, And How You Can Do It Too…
YOU'RE ABOUT TO DISCOVER...
YouTube Tutorials and Video Courses Were Never Designed To Make You a Fluent Musician...
That isn’t a failure of effort or talent. It’s a design problem.
Once you understand this is a design problem, the solution has to look different.
- The "Anti-Video Course" Method that a handful of musicians are using to progress so unusually fast on the piano that it feels ILLEGAL...
- Traditional video courses fail because they don’t force action, correction, or progression.
- A system that essentially "forces" the right actions to create world-class results if you follow the plan given to you...
I Know Your Secret Desire...
Let’s get real for a second.
You wouldn’t be here — still reading this — if you didn’t feel it:
That pull to express yourself at the highest level on the keys.
Not just to play…
But to create something people can feel.
To hear a sound in your head — and bring it to life through your hands.
But somewhere deep down, a voice whispers: “Maybe that level isn't for you.”
You’ve tried other courses.
You’ve practiced.
You’ve put in the hours.
And yet, something’s still missing.
You watch the “chosen ones” — fluent, expressive, masterful — and wonder how they make it look so easy.
Their chord vocabulary. Their advanced voice-leading. Their masterful usage of chord tensions like it’s second nature.
You think about what it would feel like to be that player…
To become that version of yourself.
And then the doubt creeps back in.
What if it’s just not possible for you?
What if I told you it is — and it could happen way faster than you think?
Let me show you how it happened for me...
3 Months Was All It Took – Once I Stopped Dabbling and Focused Like A Laser...
By the end of that year, I took that exam and achieved the highest score in the school district.
And when I got into Berklee a year later, no one believed I’d only been playing for two years.
Some of my most skilled peers had been playing since kindergarten — and they couldn’t understand how we were on the same level.
But I knew why.
Because when I sit at the keys today, I don’t just “know" chords...
I speak harmony. I feel it. And I can express myself in a way that makes me — and anyone listening — feel good.
That’s what I want for you.
Here’s Why You Can’t Seem to Get Past the Beginner & Early Intermediate Levels…(is it time to fight your piano?)
I joke about it, but sometimes that's how you start to feel after years of your efforts amounting to almost nothing.
You’ve bought the courses.
You’ve promised yourself this time will be different.
And now?
You’ve got login credentials to hundreds of dollars worth of tutorials rotting in your inbox like forgotten leftovers.
You keep asking:
“Why? Why do I still feel like a beginner?”
Is it because the Robert Glasper's and Cory Henry's of the world were born with something you weren’t?
Of course not...
After working with hundreds of musicians over the last 5 years, I’ve realized it comes down to ONE thing:
What does your practice actually look like?
Here's the Simple Truth Most People Miss...
Video courses aren’t built for how humans actually learn.
They give you access — but no structure.
No accountability.
No momentum.
No system that forces real results.
And the real kicker?
Most musicians don’t fail because they’re lazy...
They Fail Because They're Forced To Piece Everything Together Themselves...
Introducing: Chord Mastery Bootcamp.
A first-of-its-kind, precision-built training system that turns dreamers into fluent, confident, expressive musicians — fast.
REAL STUDENTS. REAL RESULTS. REAL FAST.
Here’s what students are saying after going all-in with Chord Mastery Bootcamp.
- Progress in Phases to Minimize Overwhelm and Maximize Progress
No more guessing what to do next. I’ve divided your step-by-step journey into phases that you’ll only access once you’ve mastered the one you’re currently tackling.
I personally review all of your assignments, so your journey through the course is personalized.
Each task targets one skill at a time — no more multitasking your way into mediocrity. This is how we kill procrastination and build deep fluency, fast.
- Gamified Learning that Keeps You Interested
I’ve designed a learning system that rewards you for the effort you put into it— much like a video game. You’ve never experienced learning this fun and frankly—addictive.
- Weekly Live Coaching and 1:1 Review of Your Assignments
- Access to a Private Discord Community
Growth happens fastest in environments designed to support it, and that’s exactly what you’ll get in the CMB private Discord.
A room full of music-obsessed people just like you.
Sounds Good?
Let me show you what happens when you fully lock in.
You’ve seen what’s inside the system.
You’ve seen the structure, the clarity, the accountability…
But the real proof?
It’s what these musicians sound like — after applying the system you just saw.
This is what fluency looks like when it’s earned:
Robbie @ Phase 14 - Natural Diatonic Phrasing
Ben @ Phase 6 - Shredding Fundamentals With Style
Curtis @ Phase 7 The "Secret Sauce" Dominant Voicings
And the coolest thing about this - every individual showcased here started less than two months before each video...
You ready for that to be you?
Still on the fence?
Listen — I know that choosing a mentor is a big deal.
And if you’re here, seriously considering this… it means something clicked.
The first thing you should always look for in a mentor is this:
Can they express themselves in a way that draws you in?
That makes you feel something?
That’s why — before anything else — I want you to see this:
Yes, I love teaching.
But before I was an educator…
I was, and still am, deeply in love with the art of music.
So here are two completely different stylistic samples of my playing — so you can get a feel for who I really am behind the keys.
First a Jazzy/NeoSoul Example from 2024:
And now a Singer-Songwriter Pop Setting (2019):
Here are your new abilites:
- The ability to hear any chord progression and reproduce it in real-time...
- Make any chord progression sound like butter with a fluid mastery of voice-leading...
- The ability to accompany anyone in a Pop, R&B, Neo-Soul, or Basic Jazz setting and sound phenomenal while doing it...
- Never, EVER struggle to lay down the perfect chords on your productions...
- Mastery of "Chord Tensions" (like b9,#9,b13,#11, etc.) as well as their placement inside your voicings...
So What’s Next?
It's super simple…
After joining, you'll be immediately invited into a private Discord server. (if you don't know what that is, it's just a website that allows you to create your own online community!)
The Phase List
Inside, there will be a bunch of "phases" of development - at the end of which you'll have an effortless command over the language of harmony...
Each Phase Contains "Micro Tasks" To Keep You Focused Like a Laser...
However, YOU will only have access to Phase One, which contains two to three "micro tasks" that need to be completed before moving on to Phase Two.
Once You Complete a Task
Once completed, all you have to do is post the action item(s) inside the "assignment workshop" channel, tag me and ask me to unlock the next phase...
If I approve and you've done everything right, I'll unlock the next phase for you only.
This makes it so that every member can move at their own individual pace...
And so that you MUST take action in a way that guarantees results.
Not only will you have a channel specifically devoted to any strategy or theory questions, but there will also be a weekly 45 minute coaching call on zoom where I will personally help you troubleshoot any issues you may be having.
Who This Is NOT For.
I’ll be real with you…
Chord Mastery Bootcamp isn’t for the casually curious.
It’s not for dabblers.
And it’s DEFINITELY not for people on the hunt for a “magic pill” to musical mastery.
The Chord Mastery Bootcamp is the single fastest way to become the musician you’ve always wanted to be, but it does require commitment.
I’ve done the hard work for you.
I’ve eliminated the guessing games and created a straightforward path that you can walk, knowing that by simply focusing on the micro-tasks in each Phase, you’re actively building yourself into the musician you've always wanted to be.
If you’re not willing to show up, complete your assignments, and get a little uncomfortable in the name of real growth…
Then this isn’t the group/mentorship for you.
But—
If you're someone who’s genuinely serious about getting good—
If you're tired of watching other players pass you by…
If you're ready to commit to a system that actually demands your best and gives you results in return...
Then you’ll thrive in this environment.
And I’ll be right there with you, every step of the way.
- A Special Note From Alec -
Speaking of my clients, thank you for the amazing years inside my coaching program - it's been one of the greatest joys of my life getting to be your mentor...
I've even got to hang out with some of you in person, which was incredible!
It was the insights from that program that helped me to create "Chord Mastery Bootcamp".
I kept things small for a few years but now I'm ready for more scale and more impact...
And to you reading this - if you'll put your trust in me, I cannot wait to see you inside "Chord Mastery Bootcamp"...
Alright. :)
To close this thing out nicely, I wanna show you what I looked like during the time right after I completed my musical transformation, and created a brand new level of skill for myself that took my life to the next level.
You can see the confidence practically beaming from my face - and I so badly want you to experience that version of yourself too.
May this bootcamp aid you in making it happen,
-Alec
My Guarantee To You.
Do the work. Earn The Results. Or get Your Money Back...
I’m SO confident in the effectiveness of this program that if you make it to Phase 10 and still don’t feel a dramatic shift in your playing ability, I’ll refund you the last two months — to compensate you for your time.
More than anything, I want you to know: if this doesn’t work for you, I don’t want your money.
But I built this for musicians who are ready to go all-in. And that’s why this guarantee only applies if you show up, submit your work, and actually do the thing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Nope, not at all. I've designed this program intentionally to make it accessible to serious beginners. There's even a Phase "Zero" if you happen to find the Phase One content too difficult. But when I started from pretty much scratch, I started with the Phase One material myself, so I personally went through the journey I'm guiding you through. However, if you are looking for a pretty, polished video course that will teach you a few songs you can impress your family with at holiday parties, this isn't it. In CMB you will be building toward complete harmonic mastery.
I can understand why you would think that, given that I welcome serious beginners...but the truth is, not only is this not too easy for you - you'll have the most fun of all. There is no speed limit in place, so you'll just breeze through the first few phases (review) up until phase 10 which is when your "this is so easy!" momentum grinds to a halt. The program will have around 50 phases by the end - so trust me when I say that your prior knowledge won't help you breeze through the entire program. (This is exactly what happened to other intermediates that joined.) By the end you'll be playing at the same level you see me play at in all my videos.
Haha, sorry - didn't wanna bore you with the details. I cover everything you need to play how I play in all my videos. We start at the beginning...scales, diatonic chords, voice-leading best practices, 251's with neutral and dark tension sets...secondary dominants, tritone substitution, diminished passing chords, modal interchange...literally everything I know, and I'll teach you how to make it sound AMAZING...
In general, harmony is harmony - but if you really want a specific answer - I consider myself an RnB lover with a deep expertise in Jazz Theory. Perfect for Pop, RnB, NeoSoul, Jazz or if you want to play keys for production at a really high level, I'm your guy. The only thing I can't really teach you is highly advanced gospel...that's basically it's own language. You know, like the kind of stuff that Sean Wilson breaks down...join his membership for that lol. If you want to MASTER voice-leading and advanced tension usage inside of mainstream harmony, that MY expertise.
Great question. And the honest truth is...I'm gonna have to increase the price soon, a few times actually until I get to about $100/month. If you sign up right now, you'll lock in $49/m forever. But yes, eventually I'll have to increase the price to limit capacity.
Yes...given that you progress through the phases, not achieving massive progress is literally impossible. If you don't practice and progress through the phases, then of course not. :) CMB will basically smack you in the face with the ACTUAL work that needs to be done to become a world-class keyboardist. But don't be intimidated because each phase will contain a completely manageable amount of work.
