Many children are ready for piano between ages 5 and 7, when they recognize the numbers 1 to 5 and can stay with a guided activity for 20 to 30 minutes. A piano teacher comes to your home in Bogotá and the surrounding area, or teaches by video call. Here's what changes when the student is a child.
The first pieces use five notes and a single hand position, so no one overstretches their fingers. Octaves and wide chords come later, as the hand grows.
The teacher checks for curved fingers, a relaxed wrist, and the right bench height. If your child's feet dangle, a small footstool provides stability. This small detail helps prevent shoulder and wrist tension.
Before playing a melody, your child claps its rhythm and sings it. There's also time to make up music, for example on the black keys, which always sound good together. Reading music is introduced gradually, without getting in the way of the joy of playing.
A short lesson each week works better than a long one. At the end, the teacher assigns a small, specific task so practice at home doesn't turn into a battle.
Put the keyboard somewhere you pass by often, rather than in an isolated room: an instrument you can see gets played more. A keyboard with full-size, touch-sensitive keys works for beginners. Avoid toy keyboards with small keys.
Sit nearby for the first few months, especially if your child is under 8. You don't need to know music. Ask them to teach you what they learned.
Ten or fifteen minutes most days is more effective than an hour on Sunday. If you need ideas, see how to motivate your child to practice.
Every teacher has passed our assessment of musical skills, teaching ability and personal qualities before their first lesson. Explore their profile and contact them directly.

Hi! My name is César, but my friends call me Cesitar ☺️✨ I firmly believe we all have rhythm inside us, even those who arrive saying, 'I'm no good at music.'
Does music seem difficult? That means you haven't found the right approach for you — until today. Making the difficult feel easy: that's the magic. I'm Yordy Calderón, and with me you can learn perfect pitch, piano, singing and how to write your own music in a cool, fun way.

Lessons are live video calls with the same teacher each week. They are in Spanish, and some teachers also teach in English. Colombia keeps the same time year-round (UTC−5), so it's easy to arrange a regular time wherever you are.
The same time as Bogotá.
One hour behind Bogotá.
The same time in winter and one hour ahead in summer.
Three hours behind in winter and two in summer.
Two hours ahead of Bogotá.
Six hours ahead in winter and seven in summer.
One with full-size, touch-sensitive keys and a pedal input. An 88-key digital piano can wait a few months. If you're unsure before buying, ask the teacher. We explain in more detail in piano for kids: a parent's guide.
At 3 or 4, early music classes often work better, with rhythm, singing and listening. A child of 9, 10 or 12 isn't starting too late: they grasp music reading more easily and can make steady progress.
Yes. An adult should help with the camera during the first lessons. It should show both hands, from the side or above. Find more guidance in how to support your child in online lessons and online music lessons.
