The key to a GREAT start to music is FUN!
Kids Piano is a guided path through 30 levels and 100 favorite beginner songs. Children begin with recognizable music and gradually build reading, coordination, confidence, and independence.
30 guided levels
Kids Piano is arranged in 30 themed, achievable levels that give children a clear path from their first notes to confident, independent playing.
100 favorite songs
Familiar beginner tunes and exciting classical favorites keep practice musical, recognizable, and fun—from Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star to Für Elise, Moonlight Sonata, and more.
Letters + standard notation
Our patented Exact Notes method helps students read confidently now while building the standard notation skills they will use for life.
The Exact Notes Philosophy
Fun happens at the right level of challenge
Not enough challenge becomes boring... but too much challenge is demotivating. Kids Piano helps give students choices in the type of notes they read and the pace and difficulty of the music they play, helping every student work at a level that feels achievable and motivating.
Confidence before complexity
We start most young beginners with our kid-friendly, easy-to-read sheet music in letters, where even complex songs feel approachable. As confidence grows, students add standard notation, theory, technique, and greater musical independence.
Short, frequent learning sessions
Short, hands-on video lessons fit young attention spans, initiate new learning between classes, and give incredible structure to daily practice. Plus, several small learning sessions during the week help children remember more than relying on one long lesson alone.
Mastery instead of calendar pace
Students move through 30 levels as skills become comfortable—not simply because another week has passed, which leaves no chance for a student to get left behind. The goal is confident playing, not racing through material before it makes sense.
Music is better when it is social
When given the choice, most kids say they prefer to learn in a group environment together with other kids, turning our music classes into a shared semi-social activity instead of an isolated environment.

A Clear Musical Journey
From first notes to music children are proud to play
The 30-level sequence begins with familiar beginner songs and gradually introduces stronger reading, two-hand coordination, expression, chords, and classical favorites.
1. First notes
“Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” and “Hot Cross Buns” introduce keyboard geography, steady rhythm, and the satisfaction of playing a recognizable song.
2. Familiar favorites
“Baby Shark” and “Jingle Bells” strengthen reading and coordination while keeping practice connected to music children already know and are excited to perform!
3. Musical expression
Pieces like Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” help students shape phrases, listen carefully, and begin making musical choices beyond simply finding the correct keys.
4. Deeper coordination
Beethoven’s “Moonlight Sonata” introduces richer textures and coordination as students grow into more sophisticated musical challenges.
5. A classical milestone
Beethoven’s “Für Elise” gives developing students an exciting goal and a piece they can be proud to share with family and friends.
Bonus Course Included
Youth Favorites
An all-ages, all-skill-levels variety course built around songs kids already know and love.
Students use step-by-step lessons to master easy, medium, and challenging versions of popular songs from their favorite shows, pop songs, movies, and video games. We call it our Youth Favorites specialty collection, which includes new and experimental songs that keep learning fresh.
Use Youth Favorites as a self-paced companion course, or choose it as a focus in live classes for teacher guidance, accountability, and an even more interactive experience.
Youth Favorites is included with the current Kids Piano enrollment plans.

Weekly guidance makes self-paced learning more powerful
Kids Piano uses a flipped-classroom approach: children learn and practice new material in short lessons at home, then use live class time for feedback, refinement, questions, encouragement, and playing together.
Five students or fewer
Small classes provide ample room for individual feedback with the advantages of a low pressure learning environment that helps students enjoy years of steady learning and growth .
Practice with a professional teacher present
Students can try out new and developing skills during class, ask questions, and receive real-time practice tips and corrections before small mistakes become frustrating habits.
Motivation through community
Seeing other children share similar learning experiences makes both experience both challenges and successes feel normal, social, and achievable.
