Are you interested in learning how to play the piano? This skill will build up the skills for any novice looking to get started.

Level 1 - Free Music Lessons!
Say Teach Me a Music Lesson and your Alexa will walk you through basics of hand position, and how to get started playing the musical scale.

Level 2 - Basic Note Recognition
Say Start Beginner Note Drill and you can then get your hands set, then practice hearing individual notes, and trying to find them on a keyboard. This is the first step towards understanding music.

Level 3 - Learn your first Song
Once you understand the notes, start with a basic song. Say Teach Me Twinkle Twinkle Little Star and the skill will walk through each note required to play.
