Join Billboard Top 10 Classical Pianist Owen Smith on a one-of-a-kind piano journey. Unlike traditional piano courses, this program embraces creativity, storytelling, and intuition to unlock the magic of music. Owen’s unconventional upbringing and unique approach to music—blending storytelling, rhythm, and humor—will inspire you to connect with the piano in a way that feels natural and exciting. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned enthusiast, these lessons focus on the shapes, patterns, and essence of music, helping you play songs you love and discover the joy of improvisation and self-expression.
This course is not about mastering sight-reading or preparing for studio gigs; it’s about connecting with music in an intuitive, personal way. As the course evolves, so will your understanding and appreciation of the piano. Join Owen on this exciting adventure and discover the joy of music like never before!
Each month, you’ll gain access to 2-4 engaging video lessons, covering a range of skill levels and topics. These lessons are designed to be family-friendly, entertaining, and inspiring—even for those who don’t play piano.
The first lesson introduces Owen's non-traditional teaching style, starting with the key of C to explore music fundamentals, chords, storytelling, and the deeper connections between music and life.
