CorePiano teaches the student the basics of piano before they start using the HomeSchoolPiano lesson books. This program contains 33 lessons that can be reviewed at any time by the students. Each lesson teaches something unique to piano playing. The goal in this program is to ensure the student has the best experience possible while using the HomeSchoolPiano curriculum.
This book is perfect for the beginning pianist. It teaches the student about the basics of piano playing. You learn keys, notes and rests in this book. You are also provided an activity book which is printable to use along with this book and a download of Jam Tracks for book 1.
Book 1 contains 6 units. Each unit lesson contains the necessary tools for completion. You can download videos and audio for the lesson and you can watch videos online to complete the lessons. There are also quizzes throughout the ensure the student is learning the materials taught in the program.
Book 2 further expands on piano learning beginning with Baseline and left hand finger independence. This helps to establish blue’s based music. Rhythms and melodies are also covered within this book.
Book 2 is also broken down into 6 units. These units are broken into smaller lessons in each which cover important skills for piano playing. There are downloads and videos for each part of the lessons in each unit.
Book 3 introduces triplets and chord symbols used in Piano. Further expansion of the Bassline is covered and Arpeggios are introduced. In the last unit, Voice Leading is also covered.
Like the other two books in this program, this book also contains 6 units broken into lessons. It also contains downloads and videos to watch as you learn. This is the last book in the lesson series.
Each of the videos provided in the lessons in the books above provide the student with a thorough lesson on Piano covering the topic being taught. The student is expected to listen to the instructor talk about the lesson and to complete the exercises and activities within the lesson. At the end of each unit the student should be able to perform a song specific to the lesson itself.
The videos vary in length so time for the lesson will also vary in length. Plus these lessons are self-paced and can be replayed as needed to build performance skills and to help practice the skills learned within the lesson. Typical to any online video, lessons can be skipped forward and backward easily to repeat any section that may have been difficult for the student to understand or that the student may simply need to repeat a few times to visually see the technique used in the lesson.

It can be used with multiple students making it easy to use with everyone in your family. The lessons can be viewed anywhere at any time.

HomeSchoolPiano follows a 6 step cycle to teach it’s lessons. The steps are Technique, Rhythm, Ear Training, Reading Music, Song and Improvisation. This works together to provide a thorough unit lesson and learning.
We used HomeSchoolPiano several days a week for the review period. We had a few weeks that we did not use it as much as I’d like due to summer activities we’ve had going on but the kids were able to easily use and learn a lot from this program in that time period. Winston (13) and Emmalee (11) were able to easily follow along. Laycie (6) needed a bit of help from Mommy for lessons she completed but she enjoyed the things she did work on.
HomeSchoolPiano has two packaging prices for purchasing:
The Success Package is a one time payment of $299. This gives you life-time access to HomeSchoolPiano’s website lessons, as well as all the downloads that go along with it for up to 5 students. That includes the downloads, jam tracks and sheet music for every lesson!
