The Patented Exact Notes Difference

Sheet music young beginners can understand at a glance

Traditional notation asks a new pianist to decode note location, letter name, fingering, rhythm, and keyboard geography all at once.

Exact Notes places clear letter names and visual guidance directly on the music, helping children connect what they see with what their fingers play. That clearer first step lets recognizable songs arrive sooner—so children feel successful, stay interested, and become more willing to practice.

Play first. Read more as they grow. As coordination and confidence develop, students steadily add standard notation, theory, technique, and independent music reading.

Real Families • Real Progress

Built from decades of teaching—and visible in what students achieve

Why Kids Piano Works

Real songs first—complete musicianship as they grow

Kids light up when their own fingers make music they recognize. Exact Notes gives beginners an approachable starting point, then steadily builds reading, coordination, expression, and independence.

Recognizable music quickly

Children begin with familiar songs that create an immediate musical win and make practice feel meaningful.

Patented notes that grow with them

Our easy-to-read Exact Notes system builds early confidence, then expands into standard notation, theory, and technique.

30 levels • 100 songs

Students progress by mastery—from first songs through “Ode to Joy,” “Moonlight Sonata,” and “Für Elise”—without being rushed by a calendar.

Kids Piano Volumes 1, 2, and 3

Three-Volume Kids Piano Curriculum

The books behind the 30-level journey

Kids Piano! Volumes 1–3 organize the core curriculum into 30 guided levels and 100 songs.

The sequence gives families a visible path from first notes and familiar beginner songs to stronger reading, coordination, expression, and classical favorites.

Every current enrollment includes digital course access, printable music, guided lessons, and Youth Favorites. The three-volume set shows how the complete program is designed to grow with a child over time.
