Getting Started on the Piano is carefully structured as slow, 1-on-1 play-along sessions you can easily follow. We’ll show you EXACTLY what to do, helping you build confidence as you progress.

What you will learn

Lesson 1

Get Comfortable on the Piano

Skip the boring theory! The best way to learn is by playing. In your first lesson, you'll explore the keyboard, get familiar with the notes, and discover where to place your fingers—all while playing along on a fun, beginner-friendly track. It's all about getting comfortable with your new musical friend!

Lesson 2

Play Both Hands

Now that you're familiar with the keyboard, it's time to take it up a notch! Learn to play chords with your right hand while your left hand handles the bass notes. Develop hand coordination and build confidence as you bring your first melody to life.

Lesson 3

Learn Your First Chord Progression

You're playing real music now! In this lesson, learn one of the most popular chord progressions in modern music. This beginner-friendly progression is your ticket to playing hundreds of beloved classics like "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley and "Let It Be" by The Beatles.

Lesson 4

Put Everything Together

Ready to showcase what you’ve learned? In this final lesson, we’ll bring everything together. Follow along with Lisa as you play a full chord progression on a beautiful track. Feel the magic as you play, and walk away from this course feeling like a true pianist!

"Learning the piano is easier than I thought it would be"

"Life is busy, and it’s tough to predict when you will have time to practice and learn. But learning the piano is easier than I thought it would be. The lessons are little units. It’s like how you eat an elephant: in biteable chunks!

I love that I can learn on my own schedule whenever I have an opportunity. It feels modern and progressive, and it can work for anyone."

"Way less stressful than private lessons."

"I work many hours, and I’m a mom of a teenager and a 5-year-old. I took private lessons for over a year, but it was hard for me to continue because of my busy schedule.

Pianote’s lessons are laid out so well, mimicking private lessons but allowing you to learn at your own pace. Plus, it’s way less stressful than private lessons.

I’m super happy and pleased with my decision to join Pianote!"

"I've learned that it doesn't have to be such a huge time commitment to really start"

"I've learned that it doesn't have to be such a huge time commitment to really start to learn it because I'm doing this for me. I'm not doing this as a course. I'm not doing this because somebody else wants me to learn it. This is finally for me and something I want to do for myself.

I tried some piano books and I tried some of the courses, where you can plug a piano into an iPad and then try to play along with it. That didn't very work very well for me. But when I saw Lisa teaching basic chords and making music from that, that was very inspiring."

"I’m 66 years old now, and I’m having a ball!"

"I first wanted to play the piano as a child. I also wanted to learn ballet. But we couldn’t afford both, so I said I would learn the piano sometime later in life. Well, I’m 66 years old now and I’m having a ball! Anyone should try this, and it is never too late to learn!"

"Finally, the instrument really feels like an instrument where I can enjoy playing it"

"Hey, Lisa and Pianote and anyone watching this. This is Marce. 

I just want to record a quick message to say Thank you for all your help.

It's been such a treat to be with the piano. Finally, the instrument really feels like an instrument that I can enjoy playing, rather than just being a pretty piece of furniture sitting in a corner, collecting dust in my living room (laughs).

So once again, I appreciate everything you guys do - all the support, everything. It's just been awesome. Thank you so much."
