16 Exercises For Pop Piano Mastery

The Interactive E-Book That's Also A Mini Course

I used to be able to play the most demanding classical repertoire - the stuff that takes years to get under your fingers.

Then I'd sit down to play a pop or rock song, and it felt like trying to speak a language I had never learned.

✔️All that technique I had developed over

thousands of hours of practice?

❌ IT DIDN'T MATTER

because my hands didn't have the muscle memory of

specific pop and rock patterns.

✔️The endless theory classes I had excelled in?

❌ NO HELP AT ALL

because pretty much all of it

was geared toward textbook exercises,

not real music that I wanted to play.

I TRIED EVERYTHING

  • I bought sheet music and books...

  • I took lessons from famous pianists...

  • I watched countless YouTube videos...

and got glimpses of what I might do

to make these pop songs sound like the recordings I heard.

But there was no complete resource

that I could use to learn:

  • Actual chord progressions from pop/rock songs

  • The groove and rhythm of these styles of music

  • A practice method that would

    truly get these movements into my hands for good

So I spent years putting this information together for myself

and now I'm finally able to play pop and rock music in a way

that actually SOUNDS like it's supposed to.

And because I'm all about sharing my knowledge with others,

I created an interactive e-book

that drills these chord and rhythm patterns

the same way classical pianists

drill scales and arpeggios until they feel automatic.

I just downloaded "Beyond Hanon." Marina has done an excellent job going from easy to difficult. I am 84 years old, and even I can follow and perfect these exercises so that rhythm become second nature. I highly recommend you buy this book."

Step Into The Future of

Piano Practice

This isn't another dusty drill book

with boring exercises you repeat mindlessly.

(ahem...Hanon)

It's a project that grows with you because it's built

to work with your skill level, your goals, and how you like to practice.

  • 16 exercises, different groove patterns, no required order — scroll through, find the ones that call to you, and start playing

  • Every exercise written in every key — but you never have to play them all. Pick one key, one section, one phrase and work on whatever moves the needle for you today

  • All the chord names and Roman numeral harmony are written in for you — no guessing, no separate theory lookup

  • Mix and match patterns across exercises to create infinite combinations of your own

  • Use it as a warm-up, or treat each exercise like its own song — either works

  • Take what you learn and use it to play the songs you want to play — from lead sheets, by ear, or to "fancy up" simple sheet music arrangements

Become an intuitive pianist,

naturally combining theory and technique

with the chords and grooves of today's styles.

These exercises work like magic

to "embed" chord progressions, chord inversions,

and a variety of rhythmic feels into your mind and muscle memory.

HOW IT WORKS

  • Download Beyond Hanon onto your laptop, tablet, or desktop computer. View the book there, or print out selected pages.

  • Choose the exercise you want to work on — each exercise is written out in 12 keys and you SHOULD NOT play it straight through in every key. That's definitely too much of a good thing. Choose 1 key, or if that's too much, start with 1 line of music, and work on getting the "shapes" into your hands, add the rhythm, then practice without looking at the music.

  • Click straight through to video demonstrations for every exercise, shown in a couple of different tempos and two keys (C major and one other), so you can see and hear exactly what your hands should be doing. This feature obviously works only on your device, not the printed version.

  • At almost 430 pages, this is a serious library, not a pamphlet — print only the pages you're actually working on, and don't worry about "mastering" all the exercises in every key.

Hi Awesome Pianist!

I'm Marina, Your Best Piano-Playing Friend!

I used to be a highly trained, virtuoso-level classical pianist who desperately wanted to transfer my skills to playing music of all genres. But whenever I tried to improvise, play by ear, or even just play a pop song with the right feel, I'd get so frustrated — I just didn't know what to do.

So I made it my mission to unravel the mysteries of playing modern styles. And when I finally cracked the code, I wanted to share it with every pianist who felt the same way that I did.

Ready to rock out on those keys? Let's get started.

Who Is BEYOND HANON For?

  • You're a classically-trained, or music notation-reading pianist who wants to finally get the groove and chord patterns of rock and pop music into your mind and hands.

  • You already understand the theory of chords and are ready to move into true proficiency with chord progressions, good voice leading, and chord inversions in real music.

  • You want a longer-term, self-paced project that you can use to grow your skills and come back to over and over whenever you want to mix things up or add to your musical vocabulary.

  • You love taking what you learn in exercises and applying it to real music.

Who Is BEYOND HANON NOT For?

  • You're brand-new to reading music notation or don't have a basic knowledge of chords — this book assumes a working foundation and builds your style and flow, not your basics from scratch.

  • You're not willing to commit to practicing — you won't get the results you're hoping for unless you dive in and make this a regular part of your practice routine.
