How it works

  1. Plug in your piano

    Connect a digital piano or keyboard with a USB cable. If you don’t have one, Keystair can listen through your microphone, or you can play on your computer’s keys.

  2. One clear path

    Short lessons take you from your very first key to real pieces by Bach, Beethoven and Joplin, and each one builds on the lesson before it.

  3. It hears every note

    Keystair checks every note along with your timing, and it waits until you’ve really got something before moving on. Older skills come back every so often so that they stick.

From your first key to Bach and Joplin

Each stage is a step up. Start at the bottom and move at your own pace.
