HomeschoolPiano Review

HomeschoolPiano is a program exactly like I was looking for. A comprehensive music program with solid lessons and every component to learn how to play piano well. And I don’t have to drive anywhere.

We were given a LIFETIME SUBSCRIPTION for up to five students to: HomeschoolPiano.

I had planned for the kids to view the lessons at their own paces on their iPads, but we haven’t gotten Internet at our new home yet. So we cluster-watched the videos at the library a few times each week and practiced what we learned at home using the workbooks.

I don’t have to drive anywhere. I don’t have to pay for 30-45 minute weekly lessons with a teacher I don’t know – with lessons that seem to consist of too much time wasted with checking answers in workbooks than teaching.

The kids can watch videos and listen to the audio and complete their lessons and practices on the piano keyboard with accompanying workbooks.

Each lesson is very complete and consists of 7 components:

• Technique
• Rhythm
• Ear training
• Reading music
• Song
• Improvisation
• Bonus

My three girls did great with their lessons and aced their quizzes on rhythm and listening to measures. I am so proud of them!

The first set of lessons is Core Piano and teaches all the basics from the black and white notes on the keyboard to sitting correctly and proper hand and finger movements.

Book 1 is 6 units and 52 pages. Book 2 is 6 units and 30 pages. Book 3 is 6 units and 39 pages. And Core Piano has 46 pages of practice notation to play.

Kate especially loves this program. She can retain the info she watches in the videos (we have to use the library wifi since we haven’t gotten home Internet service yet in Germany). When we get home, she practices with our full electronic piano keyboard. She likes to show off and teach her sister.

Kate really is learning lots of basics. Dad and big sister help fill in any blanks if she has questions.

I am very not musical and thankful that Dad and Liz are and can help when I don’t understand her questions.

She was very obedient to practice her scales and learn her notes before moving on to the fun stuff. She is so excited to play several little songs for us now.

Alex is learning some basics and wants to sit at the piano. He is really good at rhythms. He so wants to be like his sisters!

Dad thinks there are gaps in the program and it moves too quickly, skipping some basic important lessons. He took music classes for years in piano, voice, and trumpet. He likes old-school and traditional. But this is working for Kate really well. Tori and Alex may enjoy it later when we have home Internet and they can watch and play and rewatch the videos for full comprehension.

1. Success Package (One payment of $299)
