What We Thought about KinderBach
As a mom and teacher, I LOVE this site! The lessons are easy for children to follow and require no input from or planning on the part of the teacher. My son was able to work at his pace whenever we had time for a lesson. I have studied music since I was a Kindergartner myself and thought what was being taught was exactly what young musicians need to know and that the pace and progression were perfect. In fact, it is child paced with no need to rush or stress out young learners.

I also liked that my son was able to set his piano keyboard up next to our computer with Internet and receive lessons from a highly-qualified instructor. No rushing to get to lessons on time! The price is amazing, too, a huge savings over private lessons.

Orville completed the lessons for this review, and he enjoyed them. He recognized that it was geared for a younger audience, but because he is new to playing piano, he still learned from Kinderbach. In particular, the lessons helped him learn to keep a steady beat and not rush through his pieces.

If you would like to know more about KinderBach, I recommend this introductory video.

I give Kinderbach two enthusiastic thumbs up and invite you to give it a try. You can start your free session here. After that membership is as low as $7.99 per month.

I received a free membership to KinderBach in order to complete this review. I have received no other compensation and have offered my honest opinion.
