While my kids have been taking piano lessons for a few years, they are always looking for ways to help them improve outside the classroom. My son, especially, was excited about reviewing the online piano lessons program Music & Creativity – Foundation Course from Simply Music for this reason.

Bubby’s thoughts about online piano lessons from Simply Music
I already took piano before starting Simply Music, so I wasn’t exactly sure if I would need it. I was wrong about this. Simply Music works great both as a supplement to people who take piano classes currently or people who are just beginners and have a basic knowledge of piano (Grand Staff Notes etc). Lessons are fairly simple: you watch some videos, and then it gives you resources to work on your songs. Since they aren’t overly complex songs, it’s great for beginners.
Diving a bit deeper into the lessons, they provide learning strategies, which is great because I did struggle with learning for a while. There are 19 lessons, in which I’d say is plenty. You work on them at your own pace. There are no deadlines or anything like that.
It also gives you a zip file of what the songs should sound like. This helps me a lot because I have a tenancy to start a song and then not play it correctly but think I am. Getting a zip file with MP3s of the songs really helps me. It also comes with a reference book and a practice pad which can be useful for beginners.
There are also some development courses and special courses coming soon. I can’t wait to check them out when made available.
