A student music initiative

Music that everyone can reach.

We teach piano for free, play live for people who don't get out to concerts anymore, and build instruments that don't assume you can see or hear them.

Scroll — or press a key.

Three things, done properly.

No membership fees, no auditions, no waitlist theatre. Show up and play.

Lessons

Free piano lessons

Weekly one-on-one lessons taught by student instructors, from first-time beginners to students working through repertoire. Loaner keyboards for anyone who doesn't have one at home.

Performance

Senior center concerts

Our students perform at senior and memory-care centers every month — short, warm, request-friendly sets. It's the part everyone remembers: the residents sing along, and the students learn to play for someone.

Hardware

Accessible instruments

Open-source devices and tactile materials so blind and Deaf musicians can learn on the same instrument as everyone else, in the same room, at the same lesson.

In development

Instruments that meet the player.

Two projects, both early. We're prototyping, testing with the students we already teach, and publishing what works so anyone can build one.

Prototype

Tactile keys & spoken notes

A small device that clips to the front rail of a piano and says the note you just played out loud — quietly, in your ear, so it's a lesson aid and not a distraction to the room.

It ships alongside braille key labels and braille-embossed primers, so a blind student can find middle C by touch, learn the shape of the keyboard, and read along with the material everyone else has on the stand.

  • Note announcement over bone-conduction or a single earbud
  • Braille labels sized for standard 88-key and 61-key boards
  • Embossed beginner primers and scale charts
Prototype

Rhythm you can see

A phone app that turns what a student plays into visible time: a pulsing beat, bars that land on the beat or just off it, and a running picture of whether they're rushing or dragging.

Timing is the hardest thing to teach a Deaf or hard-of-hearing student through a hearing teacher's ears. Putting it on a screen next to the music makes it something you can both point at.

  • Live tempo pulse and beat grid
  • Ahead / behind feedback per note
  • Haptic downbeat, so the phone can sit in a pocket

Neither device is for sale yet. If you teach, build, or would use one, we'd rather hear from you now than after we've designed it wrong.

“The residents ask for the same three songs every month. My students used to find that boring. Now they fight over who gets to play them.”
