Piano Professor, Berklee College of Music
I’m the founder of The Gospel University and creator of the Chord Stack System™.
My goal is simple: teach you the thinking behind the chords, so you can understand what you play and build your own sound.
Students trained since 2015
Copying chords and voicings only show you what someone played on the surface.
The Chord Stack System™ teaches you the thinking behind it, so you can build your own voicings, reharms, and ideas in songs.
Learn why the notes work together, instead of only memorizing another chord.
See your options for voicings and reharms, then choose the sound you want.
Apply those ideas to songs and keys, so the system becomes part of your own playing.
Hear what each student says about the value of the program.

“It's definitely worth it. … You gotta put in the work.”

“You should look at it like an investment. You're investing into your future.”

“I'm so thankful for it because now it's opened up, like, everything.”

“Don't be on the fence. … Take action.”

“The Chord Stack system that Vaughn created is the most effective way with discipline to unlock that fluency.”

“If you've ever invested anything in your music education, this is, this is the place to put it.”

“There's still a ton of value for people that have experience as well to jump in here.”
