If you’re new to my channel, my name is Koen Cramer. I’m a pianist, teacher, and creator of the Secret Piano Method—a simple, fun way to improvise on the piano without ever needing to read sheet music or chords. I’ve spent over a decade developing this method to help anyone (yes, anyone!) create beautiful music, whether they’re a beginner or experienced player.

How I got here…
7: Started playing piano after seeing my first keyboard in a music shop.
15: First gig during Christmas
18: Played my first paid gig at a restaurant, where I realized I could improvise for hours without sheet music.
23: First gig in a Michelin restaurant.
28: Developed the Color Blocks Method to simplify piano improvisation for everyone.
29: Opened my online piano school to teach this method to students around the world.
Today: My online school has grown into a vibrant community of learners sharing their progress, competing in fun challenges, and creating amazing music together.

What is the Color Blocks Method?
It’s a pattern-based way to play the piano. By learning 5 simple “color blocks” (Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Purple), you can create endless music and even blend popular songs like “Canon in D” and “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” No sheet music. No chords. Just creativity and beginner friendly.
