Learn music theory

Understand the notes you’re playing by learning about key signatures, intervals, chords, the circle of fifths, and much much more. Includes interactive quizzes so you can check your progress.

browse the theory tutorials

Whether you're an absolute beginner or already an experienced pianist, you'll find materials tailored to your skill level.

Each level is divided into three parts: technical exercises to improve your coordination and facility, theory exercises to improve your note reading and understanding of the music, and repertoire selections appropriate to your current abilities.

I've tried other online piano courses, but this is the only one that really goes beyond the notes and discusses things like interpretation and technique.

I love the way the pieces and exercises are graded to perfectly match my level. And so much more professional than Flowkey or Skoove.
