Piano · from age 3
Free piano for kids
Every note is an animal that starts with its letter, so the animal helps your child remember the note: C is for Cat, D is for Dinosaur, E is for Elephant. Your child starts with these three friends, then plays real songs. The next note glows, and the song waits until it is played.
Meet the friends
Each friend starts with the letter of its key. They join one by one as your child gets better.

Tip for parents: stickers on the keys
Put a small coloured sticker on the real keyboard: red on C, green on D and blue on E. The C is the white key just left of the two black keys. Your child can then match the colour on the screen to the key under their finger.
Questions
What age can my child start?
From about age 3. Level 1 needs no reading: the cat asks for an animal and your child finds the key with that animal. Songs start around age 4.
Do I need a keyboard?
No. You can tap the keys on the screen of a tablet, phone or computer. A real keyboard is more fun: any keyboard with a USB cable works in Chrome or Edge on a computer or Chromebook.
Which keyboard should I buy?
Any keyboard with USB MIDI. A small 25-key keyboard costs about $60 to $120, and a 61-key Casio CT-S200 about $170. Check for a USB port: many toy keyboards do not have one.
Does it work on an iPad?
Yes, by tapping the screen. Safari on iPad and iPhone cannot read a USB keyboard yet, so use a computer or Chromebook for that.
Is it really free?
Yes. No sign-up and no ads aimed at your child. Nothing is uploaded: everything runs in the browser.
