What You’ll Learn
Your guide to understanding Salsa, Son, and Cuban montunos
from the root.
Many pianists try to learn Salsa or Latin Jazz by memorizing patterns without understanding the logic behind the music.
The result is often stiff and lifeless montunos disconnected from the band, and difficult to use in real life.
​
This course gives you a solid, organized, historical, and practical foundation to understand how Cuban montuno really works.
Inside the course, you’ll learn:
-
Authentic montunos used in Salsa, Songo, Latin Jazz, Timba, Son, Guajira, Cha Cha Chá, Mambo, Changüí, Guaracha, Mozambique, and more...
-
Real left-hand patterns used by professional pianists
-
How to anticipate the harmony naturally
-
How to create variations without stepping outside the style
-
How to connect rhythm, harmony, clave,and the role of the piano
-
Clave 3-2 and 2-3 explained clearly
-
Jazz voicings applied to montuno
-
Historic roots and stylistic evolution of the genre
Why This Course
Works So Well
The challenge is not technique — it’s understanding the logic of the style.
​​​
Cuban music is complex, yes.
But that complexity has structure.
​
Once you understand clave, syncopation, harmonic anticipation, the relationship with the bass, and the role of the piano inside the band, montunos begin to make sense.
​
That’s why this course is organized step by step, combining:
​
-
History
-
Rhythm
-
Ear Training
-
Harmony
-
Technique
-
Guided Practice
Everything is explained with real examples, slow demonstrations, and PDFs of the exact fragments you need—so you can learn the style without feeling overwhelmed.
100+ PDFs with 500+ Montunos and Exercises
Study with clear written examples, guided exercises, and real montuno fragments you can take straight to the piano.
Bass Line and Clave Included
See how the montuno connects with the bass line and clave so you understand the full rhythmic picture.
Video Demonstrations for Every Exercise
Watch each example demonstrated clearly so you can see and hear how the montuno should feel, sound, and connect with the rhythm.
Dynamic Practice Tracks
Practice with audio tracks designed to help you internalize the groove, stay in time, and apply each concept in a real musical context.

Take a Look Inside
Raúl Blanco — Cuban Pianist, Educator, and Composer
​
Classically and jazz-trained in Cuba and the U.S., I’ve spent decades studying, performing, and teaching Cuban music, salsa, timba, and Latin jazz.
​
I’ve shared the stage with artists such as Tony Succar, José Alberto “El Canario,” Jimmy Bosch, Tony Vega, Alain Pérez, and Manolín “El Médico de la Salsa.”
​​​​
My goal is not just to teach you patterns—​
it’s to help you understand how Cuban pianists think,
how the rhythm works, and how the piano fits inside the band.
​
This course is designed to help you understand the style from the inside out.
