Launching This Month

Sheet Music

Our brand new, fully searchable Sheet Music Collection is live now, launched on 1 September!

Free Sheet Music

Coming Later This Week

We’re adding two more completely free resources:

Chord Crash Course
A complete guide to the basics of piano chord theory.

Studio Policies Generator
Built to help music teachers create sensible, fair and practical studio policies.


Then, later this month

things really start ramping up:

Lead Sheet 101 has been completely reworked to flow straight on from Chord Crash Course. We’ve simplified the method, jammed WAY more songs in, and added a bunch of new chapters.

Juicy Chords 201 is all about taking the chords you already know and making them sound better, using practical tips you can put to work straight away.

Keyboards 101 is a beginner’s guide to professional keyboards, synths and stage pianos.

The Business of Teaching Music has been rebuilt from the ground up, packed with practical advice for building a sustainable teaching business and a healthy work/life balance.

Pop/Rock Piano 101 is our guide to contemporary piano playing, whether you’re accompanying a singer, playing with a band, or just wanting to sound less like you’re playing piano lessons and more like you’re playing music.

Plus, oh so much more.

We've been quiet while we've been creatin', but boy oh boy,

Wicked Keys™ is about to turn the volume up to 11!
