Welcome to the place where your piano dreams take flight...
Welcome to your new musical journey! My name’s Angelo, and I’m a pianist, composer, and piano teacher of over 17 years experience. Whether you’re a novice with a curiosity for keys, a budding virtuoso, or an accomplished pianist looking to sharpen your skills and develop your artistry, Music Secrets is your portal to unlocking the vast world of piano music – tailored precisely to your unique ability and ambitions.
Rather than the regiment of traditional piano lessons that focus on soul-crushing exercises such as scales, the Music Secrets approach is to provide people with the songs they love. That’s why Music Secrets offers a carefully curated and constantly growing library of sheet music, designed to inspire and accommodate pianists of all levels. From beginners just starting to unravel the mysteries of melody, to advanced players seeking the challenge of complex compositions, you’ll find exactly what you need, and more.
Each song is offered in three primary difficulty categories: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. But we don't stop there – within these categories, we have a nuanced system of complexity levels, ranging from 1 to 5 Stars, that guide you through a gentle yet rewarding progression. Think of it as your personal roadmap, charting a path from humble beginnings to musical mastery. To further help those starting out, beginner sheet music is enhanced by two variations: one with note names clearly displayed inside the notes themselves, and the other in a vibrant, colour-coded format to help you associate each note with its corresponding key.
As you grow in confidence and ability, the Music Secrets system ensures that every step you take is purposeful and measured. Each song is accompanied by a list of transferable skills - those invaluable techniques that can be applied to a variety of other pieces, allowing you to learn not just a song, but the patterns and structure of music that normally takes time and experience to recognise. Not only that, but along with the transferable skills are the Music Secrets – those little gems of wisdom and knowledge that traditionally reveal themselves after years of experience have passed beneath your fingertips. By teaching these Music Secrets as soon as possible in a pianist’s journey, it supercharges the learning experience - making the process of mastering the piano a little easier, a little quicker, and a lot more enjoyable.
By following the clear directions of the levels, you guarantee that you’re always tackling the right song to help you grow. Once you’re able to play Level 5 Beginner songs comfortably, you’re ready to leap into Level 1 of the Intermediate section. And likewise, once you’ve conquered Level 5 Intermediate songs, Advanced compositions await your eager fingers. Songs of the same level will often teach different transferable skills, so it’s important to learn a number of songs at each level to maximise the development of your talent. This incremental structure means that you’re never too far from your next challenge, and you can always look forward to a fresh set of musical goals.
Accompanying the sheet music is the Music Secrets blog - where you’ll find invaluable lessons on music theory, perspective-shifting advice and wisdom I’ve acquired through years of experience, along with some curious and eye-opening tales about things that have happened to me along the way. You can guarantee you’ll find something for you.
This is not simply a place to buy sheet music - it’s a place to grow as a musician. Every note you play, every song you master, is a triumph – and with the right direction facilitated by specially crafted piano versions of your favourite songs, the journey is as fulfilling as the destination. Welcome to a community of learners, all united in the joyous pursuit of music. Welcome to the place where your piano dreams take flight.
For your walk down the aisle...
Beyond musical education, I also provide music for those searching for the perfect accompaniment for their walk down the aisle. Music, of course, has the power to elevate a moment from the simply beautiful to the utterly transcendent. That is where I come in.
I create bespoke piano arrangements of romantic songs, meticulously crafted to accompany your walk down the aisle. These renditions - tailored to varying lengths - allow everyone the freedom to glide, pause, and bask in the significance of the moment at their own perfect pace. Neither rushed nor overlong, each piece is romance distilled to its purest essence.
For those who wish to hear these arrangements in their full splendour, they are a number of options available. Firstly, you can stream them on all major platforms. If you’re hiring your own wedding pianist however to play live on your big day, I offer sheet music - enabling you to pass it on to them ahead of time so they can learn and master it.
A wedding day is not merely an event—it is a story. And every great story deserves a soundtrack.
