Teachers love it
Building confident beginners shouldn't feel overwhelming
“The more I use the PianoForte method, the more I love it! I’ve switched to it almost exclusively now for students of all ages and learning styles with marked success. Little ideas, like starting with just the third fingers and moving out from there, and playing songs in different keys from day one, are game changers.”
“I have a 5 year old on the spectrum. We were having difficulty when playing piano so we tried this method. My student loves it as he loves to sing which he does in perfect pitch. I would recommend.”
“I love how musical and child-friendly it is. There are clear instructions and it isn’t overloaded with too much information. From the first lesson my pupils are engaged with their activities and love singing and playing these cute songs.”
