Module overview

What you'll learn

Your piano journey starts HERE. No experience needed — not a single note. In this module, you will discover how the piano works, find every note on the keyboard using simple visual landmarks, sit correctly to play without tension, position your hands for comfort and control, and play your very first notes and melodies. By the end of Module 1, you will play a simple tune with BOTH hands — and you will understand WHY the piano keyboard looks the way it does. Welcome to PianoMode.
