Another Route For Young Beginners to Learn the Songs They Love on the Piano

We hear this often from parents: “My child loved the first few videos but then it all went off-track.” Most free and paid piano content online doesn’t follow a clear path. It might teach one song well, but the next video jumps to something completely different, leaving kids (and parents!) unsure what to do next. For a beginner, that lack of direction can be discouraging.


That’s why we’ve created a course for 5–8 year olds that keeps things simple and consistent. Launching at the end of July, it teaches foundational knowledge in small, achievable steps starting with letter names and hand placement, and progressing to slow and fast play with recognisable songs your child will actually want to learn. The result? Clear progression and a real sense of achievement.


If you’d like to find out more or see if it’s the right fit for your child, just send us a message. We’re happy to talk through how the course works and how you can get involved. Contact us using our form: www.keysoundsuk.com/contact

For many piano teachers, working independently or through agencies feels like the natural route. But while solo teaching has its perks, it can also feel isolating—leaving you to figure everything out on your own. At Key Sounds UK, we’ve built something different: a team of passionate teachers who support each other, share resources, and grow together. When you’re part of a team like ours, you’re never stuck reinventing the wheel. You’ll receive access to tried-and-tested resources that have already worked with students of all ages, abilities, and learning styles. You’ll also have mentoring and guidance from experienced colleagues so whether it’s teaching a nervous beginner, pacing a fast learner, or preparing students for performances, you’ve got real support behind you. Beyond the classroom, we believe in creating opportunities for our teachers to grow as people too. From team socials to student concerts, there’s always a chance to connect, share experiences, and build a strong professional network. Many of our teachers tell us that this sense of community has boosted their confidence as much as their teaching skills. If you’d like to see what being part of our team feels like, visit our Meet the Team page. You’ll find a group of musicians who care deeply about music, teaching, and supporting each other and maybe even a place where you’d fit right in.
