The fundamentals of learning to play piano for enjoyment are really very simple, but many teaching methods are either inconvenient, expensive or will leave you bored and unmotivated.

If you just love the instrument and want to play piano for fun, if you want to know enough so that you can learn a song you love, or write your own songs: I’m here to tell you that you don’t need all the complicated stuff that leaves your head spinning.

What you need is someone to guide you through your piano learning step-by-step.

Ruth Power – Founder

Hi, I'm Ruth Power

–aka the Piano Priestess.
I'm a pianist & piano coach who has helped thousands of men & women transform their ability at the keys via my online courses, seminars and 1-on-1 coaching.
A few years ago I said goodbye to the music book publishing industry and a high-stress Editor job in London, UK in order to travel the world and live life on my own terms.
Since then I've gone on to build the first dedicated creative piano school on the internet while based in New Zealand, Australia, Vietnam and Thailand.
Wherever I am in the world my mission is to inspire, educate & equip pianists to explore their instrument with 100% curiosity and creativity.
