Reviews Are In

The Chord World Bundle from Royal Composer is extremely practical in its approach! Coming from a master multi-instrumentalist & composer, it covers all the fundamental elements of modern harmony as well as flavorful tensions that will give your music a unique flair. Very clear instruction, great production with multiple cameras, step by step approach and a fantastic workbook full of very practical exercises make this course really valuable. I love the mental shortcuts that Piotr shares regarding how to build your chords and tensions almost on the fly. This course teaches you to form a very clear idea of the chord in your head before you play it on your instrument. Highly recommended!

MY STORY

I was told by some of my elementary teachers back in Poland that I wasn’t good enough, smart enough, even brave enough to accomplish my dreams. I spent many years feeling hurt and angry.
I was quick to blame others for the way I felt. I created a story that fed my disappointment and permeated my music.

It turns out, I was good enough, smart enough and brave enough. I was first French horn in the Polish Army Orchestra, I played all around Europe for the Polish president and I even had a side hustle playing weddings. After a while though, I reached this point that I felt like nothing. Even though I was successful, by the standards of my culture and my career path, I realized I needed and wanted more from music. I wanted to create.

So, I sold everything, I quit playing French Horn in Polish Army Orchestra, quit my band and moved to US.

I created a list of educational tools I wanted to learn and the desirable direction of what to follow with them.
It took years to study music composition, music harmony, big band arrangement or  jazz improvisation but in the end of the day I LOVED EVERY MOMENT OF LEARNING. I still love it today!
Over time, my mind became untouched by opinions of others. 
Today, I know who I am and I know what I want.

YOU COULD DO THE SAME. I struggled for many years as a young musician and I want to save you from the struggle and the story. I want you to Embrace of who you are today.
You are unique, like no one else on this planet. I see you for YOU. 
With the right knowledge and patience your music could expand dramatically.

When you apply and understand the build of your favorite chords you become very efficient, independent and creative.
There is nothing more attractive than a person with the specific vision, direction, along the path to their dreams manifesting.

We know that MUSIC without the chords doesn’t exist!
I am here to tell you that your music needs structure and foundation. 
The structure is build on tendencies, chord tones, the intervals and tensions.
When we write music piece the chord build we choose becomes essential to the sound.
The choices we make have huge impact on the final result of that work.
The choices you make tell us WHO YOU ARE as a composer, song writer or musician.
