Kinderbach~Review

Are your children interested in learning to play the piano? Is the expense of piano lessons holding you back? Then Kinderbach may be your solution. I was given a 3 month subscription to Kinderbach as part of the TOS Homeshool Crew.

Kinderbach teaches piano instruction online or on DVD. There are 10 levels of this program each level is 6 weeks long for a total of 60 weeks of lessons. Recommended for ages 2-7. Kinderback uses a real teacher in a cartoon setting. There are four days of activities such as puzzles, games, crafts and puppets. The lessons are easy to follow. It is perfect for non readers. The activities all in PDF form that you download for each lesson. The songs are fun and catchy.

Membership for the online lessons start as low as $7.99 per month which is a one time payment of $95. 88 (a 60% savings). You can also choose a monthly payment of $19.99. DVD levels start at $40.45

Be sure to watch the free demo. If you are still no sure if Kinderbach is a fit for your family you can sign up for two weeks of free lessons here.

What we thought: Both boys used Kinderbach. Overall they both enjoyed it. Justin my 8 year old thought it was a bit too young for him. Kaden my 5 year old loved it and I think got the most out of the program. I think it really appeals to kids in the 3-5 range. I really think it is a great introduction to music. The teacher is really fun and engaging and they had fun following along.

Some things to note: You need either a keyboard or a piano to use Kinderbach effectively. If you have a piano and your computer is not in the same room as your piano (if you have a desktop or laptop that does not have wireless internet) you will not be able to view the lessons and use the piano at the same time. If you have wireless internet and a laptop you are good to go. You could also bring a keyboard to the computer. The same applies if you decide on the DVD's you need to be sure you can use them near your piano so you are able to view the lessons as you learn. You will need a printer or have access to one to print the activity sheets.
