Sound familiar?
You can copy the video. You can't make it sound like the record.
✕ Free tutorials play too fast, skip the hard part, or teach the melody instead of the chords under it.
✕ You learn one song, then start from zero on the next one.
✕ Your chords are right, but they sound flat next to the record, with none of the voicings, runs or feel.
✕ Private lessons for the songs you actually want to play cost a fortune.
R&B has a language: the extended chords, the voicings, the passing moves. The Lab teaches it song by song, so every track you learn makes the next one easier.

Watch a real Lab lesson
This is exactly what you get inside: the song broken into sections, with an on-screen keyboard lighting up every note, so you can slow down, pause and follow along.
How the Lab works
Pick a song. Learn it. Keep the moves.
No curriculum to grind through first. Start with the song you want to play tonight.
01
Pick a song
Browse the library by artist or era, from classic soul to this year's R&B, and start with whatever you're listening to.
02
Follow the breakdown
Each lesson goes section by section, with the on-screen keyboard showing each chord and voicing. Pause and replay as much as you need.
03
Take it with you
The chords and runs you learn show up again and again in R&B. Each song you learn gives you moves you can use in the next one, or in your own playing.

From students
It's never too late
"You've brought life back to me. I started trying to learn at age 10 and quit at 27. Now, after listening and learning from you at 52, I've gotten hooked on wanting to keep it up. You are inspiring!"
Anthony Danzy
Came back to piano at 52
"Wow! You are insanely good! The teaching, the graphics, the pace. Also the fact that you teach the instrumental part of a song rather than the melody: brilliant!"

"Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful videos. I learned through this to make a cover on my channel!"
