I know this is cliché, but it is actually true. Since this is a concierge experience, I can only personally handle 8 to 10 people each course. My goal is to ensure that each student receives the maximum amount of attention and has the opportunity to succeed. Therefore, once a spot is filled, it won’t open up for six months. So, Get your spot now!

If you’re like most people concerned about staying mentally fit, you’ve likely tried the common solutions: brain-training games that become repetitive, expensive supplements with questionable results, or even attempting to restart traditional music lessons only to feel overwhelmed. It’s not your fault. The old methods often fail because they feel like chores and don’t fit into our modern lives. You’re left with the lingering worry about cognitive decline and the regret of not sticking with a fulfilling skill like playing the piano.

I understand that struggle because I’ve been there myself. It took a personal crisis for me to discover that the piano could be a profound tool for wellness. Everything changed when I developed a new system from scratch, approaching the instrument as a complete beginner. This wasn’t just another learning method; it was a fundamental shift. By integrating proven wellness techniques with a simplified approach to music, I transformed my piano practice into a powerful tool for mental and emotional health.

That’s why I created The Three Branches System, a unique, back-to-basics program designed to help you create music, cultivate joy, and invest in your long-term cognitive health. It’s structured like a “choose your own adventure” for the piano, allowing you to learn at your own pace while building a powerful wellness toolbox.

Features & Benefits

Branch 1: We delve deeper into the Tutorial 1A to ensure you have a strong foundation before even playing a note. The first couple of years as a novice pianist can be condensed into highlighting only the essential skills you’ll use for improvisation. This rudimentary yet fundamental knowledge forms the bedrock of your musical journey. Learn to use piano practice as a sanctuary, a peaceful and healing space to begin meditation, wellness, and piano practice simultaneously. From the very beginning, you can start building your musical vocabulary and personal wellness toolbox by incorporating techniques from CBT, DBT, and neurolinguistics, providing you with immediate tools to elevate your mood.

Branch 2: Branch 2: The Logic of Music. Everything is learned in context. I present the material in a brain-friendly way, incorporating concepts from cognitive psychology, so your brain learns and absorbs information in a manner that suits its learning style. By following the Circle of Fourths, you’ll gain a unique understanding of how music works independently. This approach differs from the commonly taught cycle of 5ths and employs simple, memorable formulas that work like self-working magic tricks. Additionally, you’ll explore the most fundamental structure in harmony: the triad (or 3-note chord). This knowledge helps demystify music theory, and you will gain the confidence to start creating your own melodies, freeing you from the rigid structure of having to learn to read music (that’s right, you don’t need to read music to play the piano). As well as not using traditional methods taught almost everywhere in some form or another, like an app, that just repackages the same completely outdated method of learning and playing the piano.

Branch 3: Branch 3: Integration & Daily Improvement. Here, we draw from proven corporate philosophies like Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma to ensure your practice is productive, eliminating time-wasting rules and outdated methodologies. You’ll learn to seamlessly integrate piano and wellness into your daily routine, leading to consistent and noticeable improvement without feeling like an additional task. This is about adopting an active learning lifestyle, applicable to any subject you enjoy, not just piano. By doing so, you’ll stimulate your brain in the right way, reducing the risk of early memory loss and dementia.
