Children need a visual reference point, which the removable stickers provide in the beginning.
The removable stickers on your piano help your child learn the geography of the piano, and are easily discarded later.
Stickers also provide a quick and fun start to kids piano lessons, so that the child is enthusiastic right from the beginning.
It’s easier to build on enthusiasm than frustration.
Remember your piano lessons as a child? Most people experienced intense frustration as a child trying to start piano.
Like training wheels on a bicycle, the numbered stickers will be removed when your child feels confident with the piano and can play familiar songs like Jingle Bells, Wheels on the Bus, I’m A Little Teapot and other songs that they have heard and remember.
The stickers will not damage plastic or ivory keys in any way, and are easily and completely removable. No residue remains when they are removed.
Adults should help apply the removable stickers to make sure the installation is correct, according to the easy-to-follow directions in each book.
Kids love stickers, and we’ve included lots of extra stickers!
It’s fun!
Is piano by number a good choice as a music learning tool?
Playing piano by number is an excellent first choice because most children find conventional piano methods (sheet music) far too tedious to start with.
It’s important to get a good start that children find fun, or you risk frustration.
Difficulties with conventional piano methods cause a slow, frustrating start, and, in almost all cases, most students later quit altogether. Read more about this.
But the children are right: there ought to be a better way to start playing piano, and now there is!
Piano by number is like phonics for reading
Here’s why the old way of getting children started playing piano has poor results at best: playing piano by number is easy and instantly understandable, very much like speaking to a child.
In contrast, reading even the simplest sheet music is very much like writing words to a child, a more complex task reserved, logically, for a child’s later learning years.
You don’t ask a child to start writing “Momma,” you let them say it first. And then later the child learns letters, then words, then sentences.
Conventional piano methods ask far too much too soon, and the child cannot learn at their own pace. Read more about this.
Think of playing piano by number as a set of training wheels on your child’s bicycle: it’s something to get you going, and will be discarded later for a more complicated system when the child feels comfortable.

Get a good start!
The objective of using piano by number at first is to ensure a successful start at piano study.
Students initially taught piano by number make a smooth transition to reading sheet music because, in their words, “playing notes (reading music) is just like playing by number, only different.”
Why is this method different?
Our books are designed to provide kids with preparation for piano lessons, a fun process children can do at home, before they start regular piano lessons.
All other piano methods start children far too quickly, causing early frustration and eventually leading most kids to quit.
We’ve found this failure can be prevented by starting your child playing piano “by number” at home, and then making a slow, smooth transition to reading music using our book, I CAN READ MUSIC.
This “Fun Method” has proven results, turning children into happy, interested experimenters who enjoy tinkering with the piano.
