Our Story

onlinepiano.us began as a passion project in 2020 when our founder, a pianist and software engineer, recognized the need for a more accessible and engaging way to learn piano online. Frustrated by the limitations of traditional piano learning methods and the high cost of quality instruction, they set out to create a digital solution that would combine the best aspects of traditional piano education with the interactive capabilities of modern web technology. What started as a simple prototype quickly evolved into a comprehensive platform as musicians, educators, and developers joined the project, each bringing their unique expertise and perspective. Today, onlinepiano.us is used by thousands of aspiring musicians around the world, from complete beginners taking their first steps into music to experienced players looking to refine their skills.

We've implemented advanced features like keyboard mapping, visual feedback, and built-in songs to enhance the learning experience. Our responsive design ensures that onlinepiano.us works seamlessly across devices, from desktop computers to tablets and smartphones, making it possible to practice and play anywhere, anytime.
