I didn’t have or know the chords for that song!
I remember the feeling I felt when i was like.. “uhhh wait a second…”
So while my friends were waiting I ran to find my phone somewhere in my room…
Then I had to google the chords…
Then I had to transpose the song because that key was way too high and only for male vocalists…
And… I just remember feeling kinda like a loser. I have been playing piano for so long and STILL can’t get it right.
I knew so many other piano players at that time who easily played any song on the spot…
…And I just couldn’t believe that I STILL wasn’t able to do that.
It felt like I was so limited, so constrained. I couldn’t play UNLESS I had chords. :(((

Later that month I heard something called “the number system” for piano
And…
I was hooked.
I started thinking of keys on the piano, not as letters – but numbers and…
… It CHANGED my life.
After experiencing this transformation at the piano, I’m on a mission to prove how easy it can be to play ANY song by numbers.
