One of my childhood memories is listening to the sounds of my mom giving piano lessons after school. From a very early age, I started taking lessons from her and learning to read music.

For homeschooling parents who don’t have a background in piano or music, finding practical, affordable ways to include music in their child’s education can be a challenge. Kinderbach provides a way for parents to do that.

This online, video-based curriculum targets children ages 3-7. Using fun characters, worksheets, and practical application, students learn the basics of music theory and beginning piano. The approach is very entertainment based, which works well for the ages suggested. Each of the six levels includes ten lessons. Multiple learning styles will find appeal in the presentation and application.

The approach is very different from traditional piano lessons, and this was a stumbling block for me because of my background. However, Kinderbach would be a good fit for parents who aren’t able to teach their children piano or send them to traditional piano lessons.
