“Can we do that fun music thing again?
My daughter absolutely loves KinderBach! The videos make it so fun and easy for her to learn piano at home, and I love that she is also learning important music skills that will help her be able to read music as well. This program is a perfect positive first experience for kids who are just getting started playing the piano. I would definitely recommend this program for parents who want their kids to learn piano at home!

KinderBach: online piano and music theory program for children ages 2 to 7 in six levels
I know you're busy! I'm a mom of 8, and I get it.
But, as a music teacher, I know how important it is to begin musical training at the earliest of ages!
The sooner kids learn about pitch and rhythm, the better musically they will be as they grow, whether they choose to become professional musicians, just sing for fun among friends, or play the guitar for relaxation on their own at home.
KinderBach makes it easy & fun!

What is KinderBach piano for preschoolers?
KinderBach offers a convenient method for parents to introduce their young children (ages 2-7) to piano keyboard playing. It provides all the educational materials required such as video lessons, printable pages, coloring and activity sheets, and audios, as well as instructions on how to utilize them effectively. It’s the easiest-to-use and most effective piano for preschoolers course out there!
And, no, Mom doesn't need to have a musical background herself. She learn with the kids!
Active Learning
Young children need to move to keep their attention. Sometimes kids just need a break from a concentration time. KinderBach lessons are not a ‘sit at the piano’ music lesson. We have altered “Up” activities like standing to sing, action songs and playing the piano with “Down” activities like playing rhythm, coloring, page work and hearing instructions.
Fun Printables
For each lesson, the activity pages are available in PDF form to print in advance. KinderBach has a purpose for every activity presented. Nothing is just ‘filler’. For the parent’s benefit, the objective of each workbook page is described in point form. Materials needed for each lesson are listed so you can gather them before starting the lesson.
Developed for PreK
KinderBach is designed for young children. The content is aimed at the starting age of 3.5 years old. That target is an average age. Some children are ready earlier and some later. Parents know their children and they are the best at evaluating whether a child is ready.
You don’t need any formal music education as a parent!
The KinderBach Parent Guide gives you a heads-up on basic music theory.
The Six Areas of Musical Development:
1. Ear or Listening Skills – Beginning with the range of sound from high to low and loud to quiet, recognition and duplication of melodies and rhythm, essentially for playing by ear.
2. Sight or Note Reading – Recognizing the letter names of the individual keys on the piano, reading notes on staff, patterns and direction of music, and understanding simplified chord symbols.
3. Rhythm – Understanding the beat value and rhythm of notes and their placement within different time signatures.
4. Hand Position or Technique (for playing the piano) – Understanding the piano finger numbering system, differentiating between left and right hands, and strengthening fine motor skills. Proper hand position at the piano is introduced and modeled in much the same way as penmanship in school.
5. Singing – Vocalizing music adds to the pleasure of music education. Singing is an essential building block for playing by ear.
6. Composition – Guidance in using the tools and skills learned to create music. The composition area of the KinderBach curriculum teaches the student not to simply copy or recite music, but to create it– making music a true outlet for artistic expression.
How to Schedule
KinderBach is divided into Levels. At present, we have 6 Levels of the curriculum.
Each Level has 10 weeks worth of teaching divided into 20 lessons. We find 30 weeks or 3 Levels fit comfortably within the school calendar year.
The Lesson plans are for your convenience and may be altered, condensed, or otherwise changed to suit your needs. Each lesson plan should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Combine 2 lessons into one weekly lesson of about 45 minutes, and you will still have 30 weeks of material.
