Quality
Who it suits—and the catch
Consistently recommended as a high-quality free starting sequence; Premium improves practice support, but recorded lessons cannot correct technique.
- no live correction for posture, hand shape, or rhythm
- Premium is licensed per student
- child-oriented presentation can feel slow or juvenile to older learners
- requires access to a piano or suitable keyboard
“I’m very impressed with the quality considering that no live feedback is possible.”
