I was contacted by a nice guy named Joseph Hoffman. He offers a really cool free service. He is the creator and instructor of FreePianoLessons4Kids.com.
Learning to play an instrument and read music is definitely a wonderful skill to have. It’s also been said that kids that learn to play instruments also do better in subjects like reading. Unfortunately I never learned how to play music. I often thought, if I did ever learn, I’d love to learn to play either the piano or the guitar.
I have no idea how to read music. I look at sheet music and think, how on earth does anyone know how to read this and be able to flow smoothly though a whole song? I took the opportunity to download the very first lesson Joseph offers on FreePianoLessons4Kids.com. I started reading through. Though the lessons are advertised for kids I think it’s fantastic for someone like me, an adult who has no clue how to even start.
The very first lesson gave me a easy to understand start on how to read music. The very first lessons goes through the basics that anyone would need to know. With an easy to understand explanation of the black and white keys, the staff, a starting point for note sounds, examples, and some activities to try. I’m super excited about this. I really feel like even as an adult, I could learn to start playing with his lessons.
All the lessons are completely free. If you like the lessons you can purchase printable materials that reinforce and supplement each lesson. If you don’t want to purchase them, you’re still free to watch the lessons. If you do purchase supplementary material you also get a piano listening album and a parent’s guide.
Piano Lessons can be expensive. Then trying to find time to schedule them can be hard. This is a great way to save money and learn on your time.

I think this is an awesome service that Joseph is providing. If you’ve been thinking about piano lessons for your kids (or even yourself) this site might help you to save a lot of money!
