“Pianote is an insanely encouraging and supportive community run by an insanely encouraging and supportive team. Sincerely, I’m blown away by the program you’ve created.

I sat down one day and it just clicked. From then on, I’ve felt VERY encouraged to keep learning and practicing. It’s fulfilling and fun to see myself progress and achieve goals. Now I’m playing with both hands at the same time with confidence – and I’ve started playing along with more backing tracks and making up my own songs.”

“I decided to sign up with Pianote not only to re-learn how to play the piano, but also because my mental health was really suffering and I needed something positive to focus on that was just for ME. I knew almost immediately that this was the answer I had been looking for. It felt like the heaviness on my shoulders got a bit lighter after every piano session. And even though the lessons are virtual, it was like Lisa was right there beside me cheering me on.

I was blown away by how quickly I progressed with a few tutorials from Lisa. My overall confidence improved, especially with improvisation. Now I know all these little tricks (fills & riffs) and how to play inversions and practice chords in ways that sound so lovely. If I had been taught this way as a child, I probably never would have quit.”

“I’ve been chronically ill for the last six years, which means I’ve had to give up on a lot of my dreams and goals.

During my health journey, my interest in piano and my connection to music really arose – but it also seemed impossible. I had no prior music knowledge and couldn’t even get out of bed some days. This is when I discovered Pianote and they’ve been amazing.

I have to work at a very slow pace due to my health, but I’ve already learned so many basics. I can play some of my all-time favorite songs – and it’s just so awesome to know I can learn from home and accomplish one of my dreams. I’m so excited to keep learning and I recommend Pianote so much.”

“When I signed up for Pianote, I knew I was going to get Lisa’s great energy, the Method, the courses, the bootcamps, and the student reviews.

But my breakthrough came when I realized that sitting behind all of this is such a fantastic and welcoming, supportive student community. It’s this community – as well as the teachers and the rest of the Pianote team – that really actively encourages you to share your progress and practice. And it doesn’t have to be perfect. And that really does encourage you to practice more. And it’s in that sharing and practice that the real breakthroughs come. Thank you!”
