Pilsan Academy
Whether you’re a busy professional, a retiree seeking purpose, or an aspiring pianist aiming for a career, actively making music offers profound benefits. It helps you manage stress, connect deeply with others, and practice a passion that enriches your life. Beyond personal growth, playing the piano fosters emotional understanding and creates opportunities to share joy and build meaningful relationships through music.
If you're a pianist, you might recognize one of these struggles:
❌ Playing the same pieces for months without progress.
❌ Your technique seems stuck, with no noticeable development.
❌ Making the same mistakes over and over again.
The result?
Frustration sets in.
You might even experience pain in your hands and arms after practice.
Playing for your family or friends becomes nerve-wracking.
And if you ever find yourself in a performance situation, the pressure can cause blackouts, making it impossible to deliver what you've practiced so diligently.
Many pianists believe that simply repeating passages or playing through pieces during practice will magically improve their performance.
The truth?
It only reinforces poor habits, creating stress, tension, and a ceiling they can't break through.
This approach traps them in the same repertoire, never progressing to new, more exciting pieces.
The real problem isn't a lack of time.
It's the absence of a solid technical foundation.What does that mean?
1️⃣ You need to move your body correctly to produce the sound you want.
2️⃣ You must have a vivid imagination of the sound you're striving for—because your movement follows your imagination.
If you repeatedly play a passage incorrectly, you're ingraining those mistakes, taking you further from your goals.
Without a structured system, you’ll feel like you’re always short on time, the pieces are too challenging, or worse—you’ll believe you’re simply not talented enough.
If left unchecked, this could mean:
Feeling stuck and never progressing beyond the same few pieces.Losing the joy and motivation to play altogether, as frustration takes over.
Here’s what you need instead:
✅ First, define how you want to play the piece. Build a clear, perfect vision.
✅ Next, work on realizing that vision by identifying the exact steps you need to take—and in the right order.
✅ Incorporate technical tools that strengthen your fingers, build independence, and help you express your musical intentions.
✅ Learn the "rules of interpretation" for each style—like mastering vocabulary and grammar in a new language.
✅ Develop a reliable system to monitor your progress and regularly perform for friends or family to build confidence.
Take Peter, for example.
When he first started working with me, he was extremely nervous about playing for others.
He lacked the imagination, technique, and control necessary to feel confident.
After applying this system, Peter can now perform Beethoven’s Sonatas and Schumann’s Davidsbündlertänze with ease and confidence. 🔥🔥🔥
Together, we’ll uncover the steps to unlock your potential and achieve the results you’ve been dreaming of.

Piano Mastery
The piano mastery system is the first approach that works for both professional and non-professional pianists.
Having collected different methods from the German and Russian school, combined with a lot of experience on stage, it's divided into the mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of piano practice.
In our free piano lesson, we will analyze exactly where you are at point A and how we will get you to point B with the least possible resistance.
- learned how to strategize their practice and memorizing music
- solved their technical problems in order to play fast
- overcome the fear of playing for others and gaining first experiences with performing their dream pieces
- prepared themselves successfully for their exams, where their professors have told them that they had never played so well
- prepared themselves for competitions where they have won first prizes
- learned how to market and sell themselves without the help of agencies, competitions or scholarship --> getting high-priced concerts
Cristina from New York
She used to feel unsure of her abilities, held back by a lack of technical foundation. Even the idea of practicing felt overwhelming—was she doing it right, or just reinforcing bad habits? But with patient guidance and a focus on simple, actionable steps (even through Zoom), she started to see progress. Bit by bit, she learned how to approach each piece thoughtfully, improve her posture, and build a practice routine she could stick with. Now, she plays with more ease, sounds better, and is beginning to trust her ability to read music and understand rhythm.
Ron from Montréal
He hadn’t touched the piano in years, and the thought of starting again felt daunting. Would his fingers remember? Would it be like learning from scratch? He needed an approach tailored to his unique journey—one that honored where he was and where he wanted to go. With a personal plan built around his strengths and aspirations, he rediscovered his love for playing. Now, he’s tackling pieces like Brahms’ Op. 118, finding immense satisfaction in bringing the music to life again, one note at a time.
Benjamin from Linz
Benjamin faced a mountain of technical challenges, but with determination and the right guidance, he turned them into stepping stones. Through a combination of targeted exercises and a structured practice schedule, he refined his skills and elevated his artistry. Now, after nearly 18 months of dedicated work with Aaron, Benjamin is carving out his place as one of Austria’s most promising young pianists. A recent highlight? Performing as a soloist with Emmanuel Tjeknavorian conducting at the iconic Brucknerhaus Linz—a moment that showcased just how far his hard work has taken him.
- Are you afraid you’ll never truly master the piano, no matter how hard you try?
- Do you long to play faster, but your fingers just won’t cooperate?
- Does it feel like your memory is working against you, holding you back from the progress you desperately want?
- Do you shine in the practice room, only to crumble under pressure when someone starts listening?

IMPORTANT:
For the next 48 hours, I’ve set aside time for a handful of free piano lessons.
These are for those who know that while PDFs and videos are helpful, having a mentor by your side is what truly makes the difference.
But here’s the catch—there are only a few slots available.
Hundreds of people have already applied, and I can only work with a small handful of dedicated mentees right now.
If you’re serious about making real progress, act quickly before they’re gone.
Let’s take that first step together toward your musical transformation!
