The Book For Piano Teachers

Imagine your students practicing not because they have to, but because they're inspired to

That’s the gift of Lead Sheet 101

By teaching students how to read and play from lead sheets, it opens the door to creativity - making practice enjoyable, motivating, and paving the way for self-guided learning

What’s inside?

A complete method to read and interpret chord symbols and melody lines for solo piano. Appropriate for pop/rock music and jazz foundations.

Modern Chord Voicings

Support melodies with contemporary chord voicings. No "chords in the left, melody in the right" here - learn to spread your voicings across both hands with confidence

Chord Theory

Simplify complex chords, build triads and sus chords using chord/scale relationships, learn simple ways to voice 7th and other complex chords

Comping Techniques

Build a toolkit of rhythmic comping patterns, left hand flow, and outer/inner approaches

Juicy Chord Hacks

Learn to add rich, beautiful extensions without getting too lost in theory

For Teachers and Students Alike

Practical. Flexible. Built to make real musicians.

Lead Sheet 101 ain't about rules, it’s about freedom.
Freedom to play. Freedom to create. Freedom to sound like you. 

7 Free Lesson Plans

Imagine your students learning chord theory, scales, and harmony - without even realising it’s theory!
That’s what happens when you teach through lead sheets.

that make creativity and theory come alive
