You'll learn to read and play right-hand and left-hand notes, rests, and rhythms - so sheet music stops looking like a jumble of dots and squiggles and starts looking like a map you know exactly how to follow.

Using exercises created specifically for this course, you'll build hand coordination and finger independence - so your fingers learn to do what your brain tells them to, easily and comfortably.

Through simple, guided exercises, you'll train your hands and foot to work together - so that the pedal will no longer be a mystery and you can add that rich, beautiful sustain to your favorite music.

You'll learn chords of all kinds, plus major and minor scales. Chords and scales are the basic building blocks of music. When you understand them, you'll play with more confidence, learn new songs faster, and even start figuring music out by ear.

Learn the secrets of pianists who can play from sheet music "at first sight" - by finding patterns and shapes instead of reading one note at a time. This will help you learn your music much faster and remember it longer.

You'll work through note-by-note tutorials of beloved pieces - Happy Birthday, Canon in D, Air on the G String, Bach's Prelude in C, Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Let It Be, and Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring - so you can experience the joy of playing real, recognizable music while you build your skills.
