Not only did piano lessons just become so convenient, but it’s so affordable. My two kids (8 & 9 years old) LOVE practicing and working through the modules. Carly is personable and her videos provide clear instructions that my kids understand. She has taken the stress out of practicing by giving us some tips about how to structure practice time.
The music is fun, too! It’s not just lessons, but she has tons of other content about composers, writing music, hymns. The website is easy to navigate. We absolutely love Carly and the expertise she brings to our home! I’m so glad we can access such a wonderful instructor online!
My 5-year-old son woke up the morning after his first lesson, bright and bubbly, and immediately asking for another lesson from Ms. Carly! The parent support materials are awesome and helpful for me in deciding when he is ready for the next lesson. When I have questions, Carly is helpful anda vailable to answer my questions and give me specific suggestions. THe value of this course is incredible for the amount of materials included along with access to an experienced teacher.
THANK YOU for making this SO EASY to incorporate into our already busy and super-packed homeschooling days!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do I need to know how to play the piano in order for my child to do this course?
NOPE! Because of the nature of the course, you will be able to learn concepts along with your child, and I’ve created lots of supportive materials to help you oversee your child’s progress.
If you watch the videos with your child, you will learn all the new concepts along with him. At the end of each lesson’s materials is a PARENT CHECKLIST to help you ensure your child is ready to progress to the next lesson.
I’ve also created a Parent Guide, with specific notes, practice suggestions and things to watch for that correspond with every lesson.
That said, if you WANT to learn to play the piano, I do offer the parents of my Busy Kids a special discount code for my adult-level course (Busy Moms Do Piano), so that they can move at a quicker pace and dig deeper, if they wish.
Can I add additional licenses for more students in my classroom?
Yes! You can purchase 2 additional licenses at a time from your team leader dashboard.
Do students need a fancy piano for practicing?
Fancy pianos are fun to play on, but definitely not required in order to move through this course. Check out this blog post for budget-friendly piano recommendations suitable for your child’s first piano.
How old should my child be to enroll in this program?
Every child is unique and there’s not a “one-size-fits-all” age for beginning lessons. I have students as young as 4 all the way through teenagers who are currently working their way through this program.
I have a handy resource guide about getting started with piano lessons that you can have delivered to your inbox HERE that will help you decide if your student is ready for piano lessons.
If you have a younger student at home, check out my Busy Preschoolers Do Music course!
How long will I have access to the program?
For as long as your membership is active. You are purchasing a membership that renews annually, and you may cancel at any time so that your membership will not renew at the end of the current billing period. After the end of the billing period and upon cancellation, the team leader and team students will no longer have access to the team membership.
Team leaders may revoke access from team members at any time from their team leader dashboard, and add new members for as many licenses as they have purchased.
Do I have to purchase books?
Your subscription includes all the pages of music, theory and bonus materials — everything your child will need to complete the Level 1 lessons in the course — in a downloadable format. The only additional material I might suggest (besides a piano, of course) would be a rhythm instrument, such as a tambourine, drum, triangle or wood block
