Not Just Another Piano Course

Your ultimate music community awaits

You Don’t Need Another Piano Course.

The online lesson world is flooded with options. Some great, most mediocre. No matter what level of student you are, this abundance of options can seem like a great thing.

There’s just one problem-

Online music education is fundamentally flawed.

No matter how great a course is, or how great the instructor is, most products fail to solve the one thing that has stopped thousands of students like you from succeeding:

Most people buy online courses, and never actually finish them. 

Here are some alarming stats:

  • The average completion rate for online courses is 15%.

That means that you are 85% likely to give up on or forget about the course that you bought one day when you were feeling particularly motivated.

  • As many as 80% of students never even log in.

One of the largest contributing factors for this lack of participation is just that- lack of participation.

Most courses suffer from a lack of opportunity for participation and interaction. 

This is because of one simple thing:

They lack community.

  • Most piano courses are designed with a library of videos containing instruction and sometimes exercises. We believe this is the bare minimum that any piano education product must have. But when faced with the reality that most students simply don’t complete online courses, we decided we wanted to create something better. Something that would help you actually reach your piano goals. To do that, we’ve built a community-first piano education platform which is designed for your participation, engagement and ultimately, to help you achieve success far easier and far quicker. A focus on community means you’ll find it much easier to stick to your practicing goals.

  • There is no one-size-fits-all answer to the question of how much practice is enough. The best amount of time to practice is any amount of time when you're actually doing it. For some people, that might be 10 minutes per day. For others, it might be 2 hours. With our courses, you can go as fast or as slow as you like, and you can replay any of the videos in the courses as many times as you like. You get to set your own pace and take as long as you need to work through it.

  • One that works! An acoustic piano will work great and so will a digital keyboard. It doesn't matter how expensive it is, how many keys it has, or how many features it has. If it has some keys and makes a sound, you can probably use it! Now of course, a better quality instrument can help make some things easier. But especially at the beginning, the important thing is that you get playing at all. You can worry about the fine details later.

  • You're in the right place! This community is the perfect place for you to start even if you've never even sat down at a piano before. We'll teach you everything from how to properly sit at the instrument, to correct finger technique so you don't injure yourself over a long period of time of bad habits. We'll cover everything you need to know to get started on this instrument. Plus, having a community of fellow students and musicians to bounce your ideas, struggles and questions off of means that you’ll never feel alone on your journey.

  • It is absolutely normal to struggle with various sections of the courses, especially when you're starting from scratch. These courses are designed to be completed again and again as needed. The exercises are not one-and-done in the sense that simply accomplishing them correctly once is enough. They are designed to be used over and over again in a consistent and repetitive practice regimen. Even once you've completed the instructional material, the exercise modules can be used time and time again! This repetition will help ensure that you're able to complete all of the sections over time. They only get easier the more you practice!

  • We’re unable to offer refunds at this time, however you can cancel your subscription at any time. You’ll keep access to the community until the end of your current billing cycle and you won’t be charged again after that.
