About Dr. Guy Shkolnik

Dr. Guy Shkolnik is a composer, pianist, and music theory PhD.

His doctoral work explored thematic potential in Bach’s Well-Tempered Clavier: how a fugue subject shapes the harmonic design of the whole piece.

He has taught harmony, counterpoint, and ear training at Rimon School of Music and the University of Haifa. Today, his piano harmony videos reach musicians around the world who want serious harmonic ideas explained clearly and played beautifully.

The Dr. Guy Shkolnik Piano Course brings that depth into a focused, practical course on voicing, spacing, motion, and richer chords at the piano.

FAQ

  • Do I need to be an advanced pianist?

    No. You don’t need virtuoso technique. The course focuses on chord voicing, spacing, and movement - not fast playing or advanced piano repertoire.

  • Can I pay by credit card without a PayPal account?

    Yes! You can pay by credit card without a PayPal account. After clicking Buy, enter your email address, first name, and last name on the checkout page. Then click the PayPal button. A new window will open, where you can select “Pay with Credit Card” and complete your purchase without logging into PayPal.

  • I'm a complete beginner, is this course for me?

    This is not a general introduction to the piano. It focuses specifically on chords, voicings, and chord progressions. That said, if you’re completely new to making music but love the sound of the chords and progressions in my videos, you can start here - the path will simply be steeper. (That’s more or less how I began at 15 - diving into chord progressions I loved before I was fully prepared for them.)

  • Is this course useful if piano is not my main instrument?

    Yes. If you use the piano to write, arrange, produce, or understand harmony, the course is designed to help you play clearer voicings and richer progressions at the keyboard.

  • Can I use these ideas beyond piano?

    Yes. The course is taught on the piano, but many of these voicings also work beautifully for strings, pads, and orchestral writing.

  • Will I learn modern chord sounds too?

    Yes. The course includes richer progressions, modern harmonic movement, and voicings built in fifths for a more open sound.
