M<\/span>y daughter has been begging for piano lessons <\/strong>for some time now. But I just wasn’t ready to commit to formal lessons yet. As parents, we want to be sure that our kiddos aren’t going to beg and plead for an activity only to want to quit two lessons in after you’ve spent the money.<\/p>\n

I wondered if there was an affordable online piano<\/strong> option that could help me gauge my daughter’s interest without the hassle of driving all over town to another weekly lesson. When I heard about Pianosaur,<\/strong> I was ecstatic!<\/p>\n

Pianosaur is exactly what I’ve been looking for, folks! It’s a way for my daughter to experience the joys of playing music that’s affordable and doesn’t require leaving home. My daughter nearly burst with excitement when I asked her if she’d be interested in these online piano lessons<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Long-time piano Janna Carlson and her tech-savvy husband Jeremy created Pianosaur<\/a><\/strong>. Together they have built a positive online parent\/child-friendly introductory piano program<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pianosaur is recommended for ages 5-7 and is a wonderful introduction to the piano. However, many 4-year-olds may enjoy trying out the tunes and concepts with you. And an 8-year-old may enjoy the bonding that will occur as you both participate in the online piano lessons<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Pianosaur<\/strong><\/a> provides short 5-7 minute videos, worksheets, and duets that help your child find their musical voice. Janna even uses manipulatives like little animal figures to teach the different locations of keys. The positive tone helps children feel comfortable making mistakes and trying again as they learn songs like Old MacDonald, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.<\/p>\n
