Playbooks

Piano playbooks

The site gives you free interactive emotion pages you can hear and practice immediately.

The playbooks go further. They add deeper structures, more advanced guided practice, and material that is not available on the free pages.

Play Emotions on Piano

A practical guide for players who want emotions to emerge under their hands — not just play chords that sound nice.

On the free site, you can already explore the ten emotions through guided interactive pages. The book goes further.

Inside the book, you get:

• a canonical pattern for each emotion
• variations that change the feeling without changing the progression
• how to break the emotion on purpose — and bring it back under control
• how to switch between emotions without changing the chords, by changing only the way you play
• the Love Arc — a separate longer-form chapter not available on the free emotion pages
• a more advanced Book Companion than the current free practice sessions

Built for self-taught pianists and beginner-to-intermediate players who want emotional chord progressions that are playable, clear, and worth returning to.

Hypnotic Piano Loops

A looping piano chord book for intermediate players who want to sit down, start playing, and drop into a timeless groove — without composing, analyzing, or choosing what comes next.

This is different from the free emotion pages on the site. Those pages teach distinct emotional states. This book is about entering and sustaining a repeatable loop state.

Inside the book, you get:

• 7 tested looping piano progressions designed for long repetition
• clear left-hand engines that become automatic under the fingers
• a right-hand layer added only after the left hand locks in
• Break & Restore control to deliberately disturb and re-center the state
• transitions between arcs so you can move without stopping to decide
• a dedicated Book Companion for playback, variations, break/restore, and transitions

Built for intermediate players who enjoy hypnotic piano, meditative repetition, and patterns that are easy to stay inside.

How these relate to the free site

The free site is the place to hear and practice emotions interactively.

Play Emotions on Piano adds deeper control: variations, breaking and restoring emotion, switching emotions without changing chords, and the Love Arc.

Hypnotic Piano Loops is a separate lane: not emotion switching, but timeless repeating arcs built for staying inside a state.
