With countless accolades for their timeless albums and ground-breaking world tours that redefined live performance, Coldplay stands as one of the most beloved and acclaimed British rock bands of the 21st century, with a career spanning over two decades. Their music has become so ingrained in the global musical lexicon, it’s no wonder that so many musicians around the world, just like Ellie, are continually inspired to pick up instruments to learn to play along to their masterfully crafted tracks.

The ROLI Learn app makes the challenge of learning a new instrument a fun and approachable experience, and Ellie’s path to piano greatness started off with an easy introduction to the instantly recognisable piano melody of the Coldplay track. With First Steps, she got comfortable with the basic melody, and slowly built her confidence learning essential piano playing techniques so that she could start playing piano like Chris Martin!

As Ellie’s progress flourished, she took on tougher challenges and tracked her progress in the ROLI Learn app. With fun games like Springboard, Ellie took a different approach to learning “Clocks”, with an engaging arcade style game that challenged her abilities. ROLI's tailor-made lessons adapted to Ellie’s skills, guided her to her goals, and she eventually leveled up to playing with two Piano Ms, where she could explore the world of playing piano with two hands and perform the song proudly.
