"Simon explains concepts in a very clear way..."
I've tried a few other online courses before, but it's PianoPig that I am sticking with. Simon explains music theory concepts in a very clear way and offers plenty of courses and resources to help you solidify your knowledge. There is a clear path to get you to proficiency. What really sold it for me is the emphasis on Neo Soul, other courses usually stick with Jazz Standards but here we get both. All in all highly recommended!

"My only regret is not joining the Academy sooner..."
This is unbelievably good and works so well. Everything is clearly laid out and structured, and the lessons are broken down into bite sized chunks. My only regret is not joining the Academy sooner - this is way more worthwhile than just viewing YouTube videos.
Jake Connolly // PP Member

"I’ve made more progress in a few months than I did in years on my own..."
Simon’s lessons are clear, well-structured, and fun. I’ve made more progress in a few months than I did in years on my own. The Academy's approach to breaking down complex theory into digestible lessons is a game-changer. The supportive community and live Q&As have also been invaluable—I always get the guidance I need to keep moving forward. Whether you're a beginner or more experienced, PianoPig has everything you need to improve.

Jacob David I've signed up to quite a lot of courses over the years and none come close to PianoPig's method of teaching, simplicity and direct approach to hands on playing. I wish I had you as my teacher 20 years ago.

Aaron Burrows The support is unreal, and the content is brilliant! I'd been lurking on PianoPig's YouTube for ages, soaking up the free stuff, but I finally bit the bullet and joined the Academy. Honestly... why didn't I do this sooner?
I had so many gaps in my playing, but with the courses, feedback and Simon's help, I'm finally feeling like I know what I'm doing. Plus, it's crazy affordable for the amount of content you get - no need to sell your piano to afford this. If you're serious about improving your playing, this is hands down the best decision you'll make.

Not sure if PianoPig Academy is right for you?
PianoPig Academy is NOT for everyone, and truth be told we'd prefer to help you figure out if it's not right for you BEFORE you join rather than waste your time. So, let's cut to the chase...

Frequently Asked Questions
Got a different question? Message us in the chat pop-up.
If you’ve been playing piano for months—or even years—without seeing the progress you want, PianoPig Academy is designed for you. Many pianists hit what’s called the “intermediate plateau,” where they’re stuck playing the same scales, chords, and licks on repeat without improvement.
The problem? Without a clear path and structured learning, it’s easy to fall back into old habits or spend hours on random YouTube videos without real progress.
PianoPig Academy solves this by offering a structured learning system that guides you step-by-step, helping you make consistent progress. With practical lessons that apply directly to real music, and feedback from our live Q&A sessions, you’ll know exactly what to focus on each week.
Our members often say they’ve made more progress with PianoPig in a few months than they had in years of self-teaching. If you’re serious about improving your piano skills, PianoPig Academy will help you get there.
Private piano lessons will cost you about $50 per lesson, or $2600 a year.
Going to a music academy will cost upwards $40,000 a year.
In comparison, a PianoPig Academy membership will cost you just $250 for the whole year (that's less than 70 cents a day!).
But it's not just about saving money. It's about making real progress without wasting time. With our proven structured learning, you'll stop guessing what to practice next. Our structured programs guide you step-by-step so you know exactly what to focus on each day to truly improve your piano skills.
Ideally, you would practice 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes at a time. But we get it - life happens! Here's the good news: it's not about how much time you practice, it's about how you practice.
After working with thousands of piano players, we’ve found that the key to progress is having a clear plan. If you know exactly what you’re going to practice before you sit down at the piano, you’ll make meaningful progress—even if you only use PianoPig Academy a few times a month. Our step-by-step Roadmap ensures you’re always moving forward, no matter how busy your schedule is.
Absolutely! Everything in the Academy is designed for you to learn at your own speed.. There are no deadlines or pressure to move on before you’re ready. You can stick with a topic until you fully understand it before progressing to the next step.
Our roadmap provides clear guidance, but how quickly or slowly you go through the material is completely up to you. Whether you prefer to dive deep into a topic over multiple sessions or cover more ground in one sitting, the Academy adapts to your learning
Absolutely! We make learning piano enjoyable and straightforward—the way it should be.
Too many people struggle because they pick up bad habits or get stuck in frustration loops. With PianoPig Academy’s structured, step-by-step approach, you’ll avoid those mistakes and build a strong foundation right from the start.
You’ll begin with the Level 1 Roadmap, which breaks down everything from basic chords and melodies to rhythm and improvisation. By the end of the program, you’ll be able to play some jazz standards and neo-soul arrangements.
Most importantly, we make sure you don’t get stuck in the dreaded beginner’s plateau. Our roadmap is designed to keep you progressing smoothly, taking you from a complete beginner to someone who’s confident and comfortable across the keyboard.
PianoPig Academy is perfect for intermediate players! Our courses take you beyond the basics to advanced concepts and practice exercises.
The biggest trap for intermediate players is bouncing around from lesson to lesson without a plan or structure to get to that next level. We are known for taking intermediate players who have hit a ceiling and busting through until they reach the next level.
Many of PianoPig Academy's members are in their 60s, 70s and beyond! They have seen incredible success with our programs. Our platform is designed to be user-friendly for all ages and skill levels. And our supportive community is made up of piano learners of all ages, cheering each other on.
When you first sign up to a PianoPig membership, you enter your credit card but it will not be charged for 7 days. That means if you decide to cancel within 7 days of signing up, you won't pay anything.
We'll send you a reminder before your trial is about to end so you don't forget about it.
If you decide to cancel after that, you won't be charged at your next billing cycle. That means: if you're a monthly member, you won't be charged for the next month. If you're an annual member, you won't be charged for the next year.
In addition to the 7-day free trial, we offer a 30-day money back guarantee. If you're not satisfied with your progress in the first 30 days of your membership, we will give you your money back - no questions asked.
Canceling is easy. It’s just one click of a button on your account page.
You won't be charged anything if you cancel during your 7-day free trial. We also send you a reminder before your trial ends so you don’t accidentally forget about it.
If you cancel after your 7-day trial, you won't be billed again at your next billing cycle. Your membership will remain active until it expires on the day it was originally set to renew.
Note: once your membership expires, we'll save your progress on your Dashboard if you decide to rejoin at a later date.
The only difference is the price. The monthly membership is $29 charged monthly and the annual membership is $250 charged once a year.
That means that if you select the annual plan you will pay 30% less and save $100 over a year compared to the monthly plan.
We'll also send you reminders before we bill you each year so that you don't accidentally forget about it.
We give such a big discount for annual members because it aligns with our long-term vision to inspire and support lifelong piano learning.
