When I ask my students what they want to learn, many say "The piano!" In my previous school, I was able to get a classroom set of keyboards, and I would love to do the same for my current students. The great thing about a piano is that the notes are in alphabetical order and it's a great way to learn how music moves.
The piano is an amazing instrument that teaches eye, hand, and ear coordination at once!
Many students don't have room to have a piano at home. These mini pianos are a great way to get started with their love for music learning.
With the resources I already have to teach note placement, I can add actual keyboards to my curriculum to get students excited about learning!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
