Boring Piano Lessons are a Thing of the Past

Piano lessons get a bad rap. Strict teachers, awkward finger movement, and mind-numbing exercises. No wonder kids don't want to practice. 

The truth is playing the piano is a blast. Music lessons should be too. Piano Jam teaches kids how to play the piano in the fun and social setting of a performing all keyboard band. 

Imagine how your child will feel playing the keyboards in a band on stage to a cheering crowd. Imagine how proud you'll feel as your child shines in the spotlight. 

Come and join the band today!

My Daughter Loves Piano Jam

"My daughter loved her first Piano Jam class. She was hoping the class would meet every day. She was disappointed to learn she'd have to wait a whole week to play with her bandmates again" 

~Alysson Goldstein 

She Sounded So Good After Just One Class

What I like about Piano Jam is I don't have to ask my daughter to practice. Shes wants to practice becuase she's having fun.

Play the Piano in a Matter of Minutes

Have you ever heard the expression 'music is a language'? We all know how easy it is for kids to pick up a language. If music is a language why do kids find that playing the piano is hard to do? 

Playing the piano is actually easy when an instructor uses the language model as a reference point. This approach to learning follows 4 steps...

  1. Listen
  2. Imitate
  3. Speak
  4. Read

Piano lessons have historically followed the exact opposite approach. Kids are taught how to read music before they express themselves in music. This is why learning how to play the piano seems hard to do. This is why children often feel like piano lessons are boring. Boring piano lessons leads to kids who don’t want to practice and eventually want to quit. Sound familiar? 

Piano Jam teaches kids, on day one, how to play the piano in an all keyboard ensemble that performs in concerts and makes music videos! The program not only teaches kids how to play the piano, but it also teaches them the value of teamwork as they build and refine each song as a performing ensemble.
