Play What You Hear

A free live masterclass with   NATALIE TENENBAUM

●   Live   ·   Tuesday 24 November 2026   ·   8pm ET

For intermediate and advanced pianists

The free 90-minute masterclass
for pianists who can play the notes
but can't yet play what they hear

You've put in the hours. Scales, pieces, tutorials. Then the sheet music comes off the stand and your hands go quiet. On 24 November, Juilliard-trained pianist Natalie Tenenbaum sits at the piano and shows you why, and the method her students use to improvise, arrange and play with freedom.

What pianists say after working with Natalie

Decades-old barriers,
gone in 90 days

BREAKTHROUGH

"In 90 days, I definitely broke through some barriers that I carried... like decades."

Joe LeamanStudent

Faster hands, faster learning

TECHNIQUE

"I love how much better my fingers feel and how much quicker I'm picking stuff up. It's night and day."

Dillon BurkeStudent

Confident on stage, finally

PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE

"I just felt incredibly comfortable and confident in that moment. Just wow... how far I've come."

Dan BinstockStudent

Signed up for technique,
grew as an artist

ARTISTIC GROWTH

"I thought it was going to just be a piano technique class... It ended up being this whole growth-as-an-artist course."

Cindy ShapiroStudent

At peace at the piano

MINDSET

"I feel so much more comfortable with my playing. I wake up more at peace with who I am as a pianist..."

StudentThe Complete Piano Method

Practice became the fun part

PRACTICE

"I know I'm so much better off than where I was when I started & I've started to enjoy practicing a lot more."

StudentThe Complete Piano Method

"I'm not sure I'll be able to ever repay you"

IN THEIR OWN WORDS

"I have to say I know I had to pay for your course haha, but I'm not sure I'll be able to ever repay you for this experience. The knowledge you shared, the framework I get to use into the future of my career, and the trajectory you put me on."

What you walk out with

Three things you'll use
the next time you sit down

01

Why more practice stopped making you better

You practise every week. You still sound the way you did two years ago.

Tendinitis in both arms took Natalie's playing away for a year and a half. Rebuilding it from zero showed her that most practice is repetition without a plan. She shows you the structure she rebuilt with, the one that got her into Juilliard on a scholarship within a year.

02

Hear it, then play it

Take the sheet music away and your hands don't know where to go.

How to work out a song by ear and voice it across both hands. The improvising tools Natalie uses on Broadway and on tour, broken down so you can try them that same night.

03

From lead sheet to your own arrangement

You can play other people's arrangements. You've never finished one of your own.

Natalie takes a bare melody and chords and builds a full arrangement live, step by step. It's the same craft behind her arrangements for Lang Lang and Itzhak Perlman.

The method

You can already play. Now play like you.

The notes were never what's missing, and on 24 November you'll see what is.

With this masterclass versus without it

Without
  • Another tutorial, and the same three songs you always play
  • Hours at the piano with nothing new to show for it
  • Frozen the moment the sheet music comes off
  • Playing alone, and stopping when someone walks in
With the masterclass
  • The real reason your playing stopped moving, named and fixed
  • A practice plan you can use the next morning
  • A way to play any song by ear, in both hands
  • The door open to The Complete Piano Method, if you want to keep going

Your host

Natalie Tenenbaum

Natalie started piano at six, in Israel. Then tendinitis in both arms stopped her playing for a year and a half. She rebuilt her technique from zero, and within a year was accepted to Juilliard on a scholarship.

She has since played Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, the Apollo, Madison Square Garden and Vienna's Musikverein. She's toured with Trans-Siberian Orchestra and arranged for Lang Lang and Itzhak Perlman. Her Broadway credits include The Great Gatsby and American Utopia.

In 2026 she opened The Complete Piano Method to intermediate and advanced pianists who want the same rebuild: technique, improvising, arranging and the confidence to play for people.
